They are just a bad team disguised as an 8-0 team. Trust me on this one they're as bad as they've ever been.

Interesting assesment. I disagree, I've played on and watched the "bad" raceland teams. I know for a fact they are as good as Raceland's best, if not better. But we will see what happens Friday night. I sit and think though, no matter what any of us on here have to say, its up to the blys on the field that control our outcome. They make us or break us. haha.

With all that said, I haven't seen Russell play this year. So I can't say from personaly watching , but i was told by a Russell alumni/former player/former player's father, that they seem to lack the leadership they've had in the past. Is the Russell team young? Just wondering, that doesn't sound like the Devil teams of the past. What has been their let down in teh last two weeks? Their stats haven't sufford, they've lead in the first down column as well as the rushing game, and even in most cases defense, minus the AShland game. Can someone elaborate?
