This should be a good game. Nobody but Ironton has just lined up and run the ball on the Russell defense. If SC can pass the ball and keep Russell from keying on the run they have an advantage in this game. The pass defense has been Russell's big problem in recent weeks. If they can tighten that up they have a good chance to win this game.

Defensively SC should be able to hold the Red Devils in check a little bit. Russell is very one dimensional this year. Russell needs to find some way to get more production from somebody besides Jones to have a chance to win.

I believe this will be a low scoring game and SC will go into as the favorite despite being the 3 seed. For the cards a big key will be if they can get the lead on Russell early.
