The Rams deserve all the credit in the world for last nights effort. Like most people have stated, It takes 11 to play. Dosen't matter how many try out for the team its only 11 that can play at a time. Last night Raceland had the perfect 11. Russell needs some size to happen in the near future, BADLY. Our team is not blessed as we have been in the past with size. Speed, we have some great runners, but not the fastest we have ever seen. Talent, yes some have that "vision" of running the ball. Russell can compete in the playoffs, hope fully they keep playing like they did last night! As for Raceland, no matter what, Im sure most of us in this area support you on your endevors and hope you bring back the Trophy. Good luck in the playoffs and congradulations on a perfect season!

Unless there is something I'm not seeing, next year's Russell team is going to be extremely small! However, I think they will still be good and enjoyable to watch because I think they'll have some good leadership (Rice and Smith will be 3 year starters), some fast guys, and some guys who put forth a lot of effort. I know we're still focused on this year...but your comment about the size of the Russell team caught my eye. I'm hoping you guys know of some giants we've been keeping locked away for the past few years ready to be let out next year.
