My last thoughts on this game.

I think alot of people in the area have been too quick to get down on this Russell team. They are not as bad as some people think and others hope. The losses have been to three really good teams. All are games that they could have won.

Have they played up to their potential every week? No they haven't. Most of the problems have been mental mistakes though. Those illegal procedure penalties are killers and have to stop. Special teams has to pick it up. Last week was the punting unit and the kickoff coverage has been suspect all year.

As for tonights game I think its going to be a real slugfest. Both teams are going to be well prepared and the fans of both should be in for a real treat.

I don't know which team will win but I do think that whichever side wins it will be by a TD or less.

Guys, get together and play the game the way it is meant to be played. Do that and you will be fine.
