I know a kid from Russell who now lives with his parents in Lexington. He is a Freshman at Tates Creek. Started special teams this year and was the #2 SS on Defense. He plays Baseball too and I asked him yesterday what's next. Well he said, Weight lifting starts Monday and baseball started already. He plays Babe Ruth, JV baseball and Varsity Football. As A Freshman at a AAAAAA School. He makes A's and B's and is already taking honors classes. That is leadership.

I've been joking with him trying to get him to move back and live with his grandparents but he say's no! Why? Because he already believes that through hard work and determination anything can be happen. He gets in his teammates faces and say's how do you guys expect to win State against St X and Trinity if we don't start NOW! He's only 5'9" and 158 pounds and he's a wedge buster on Kick-off team.:eek:

His inspiration at Russell is Josh Gross. His Dad's girlfriend got him a replica Russell #24 jersey from Sam Sparks 3 years ago for Christmas because that's what he wanted more than anything.

FBall and I played with his Dad.

Russell needs more kids like this! Are there any? Or did they all move away?
