I don't have any beef with the Russell coaching staff, I think they are very good. I just think they could do much better. When I watch Russell play I feel like they seem complacent. They are gonna do what they do, win or lose. Also, I feel like sometimes when Ive watched them play BC, GC, or Ashland. They just seem gassed in the second quarter, and are just out conditioned.

Ironton will be in contention for a Ohio State title. Russell will be replacing 95% of its team. From looking at the roster.

Abrams 2way starter
Cordle 2way starter
Miller 2way starter
Bailey 2way starter
Mitchell 2way starter
Dillon 2way starter
Bates-if able to play, FB

Thats 13 of 22 right there, and I didn't even get to the line. Which I'm sure will have 1 or 2 more seniors. I'm not saying Russell will be bad, they are Russell. Ironton will be that good + Russell losing quite a bit = 20point loss for Devils.

It's A new season. These kids have one goal, Louisville and the ring.
