I'm pretty sure '04, '05, '06, '08, '10, and '14 are the only playoff meetings between Russell and Belfry. I found records indicating at least nine other games between the two schools. They were all regular season district games. I have no scores, only the winner.

'73, '77, '78, '83, '84 - Russell

'75, '76 '79, '85 - Belfry

It's a pretty safe bet that they played in '74, and '80-'82, but I couldn't find district records for those years. They may have also played some games back in the 60's, but again, no records indicating for certain. I was surprised to find that back then, teams didn't always play every other team in their district. For example, in '86(the last year they were in the same district), Russell and Belfry both finished 1-0 in district play without playing each other. They both beat Johnson Central, but Belfry got the playoff berth(better overall record, maybe?). Sheldon Clark was part of the district, but somehow didn't play a single district game.

The records I found show at least fifteen meetings between Belfry and Russell with Belfry holding an 8-7 advantage.

81 and 82 also
