Like i said whitley is overrated.lol but mite win next week because rock is to should be a close low scoring game.

Wow! Were you even at the game? If the Whitley County coaches make the right adjustments on defense, then I would not want to face this team. And really considering: 1) this was Whitley's first game. 2) the defense had to face a solid mature offense in Russell County 3) Russell County already had one game under their belts 4) Russell County's first game was also an away game 5) Whitley had to face a team with really good speed at several positions 6) defense could not key on just one player 7) had to face a very balanced offensive attack. Considering all this, Whitley's first defensive effort had difficulties embedded everywhere, but WHITLEY'S DEFENSE DID VERY GOOD FOR 3QUARTERS! Now the offense of Whitley is tremendous! Yes, play calling at times, was questionable but this was the first game and Russell County has a very good defense. Whitley also shot themselves in the foot with multiple bad snaps, turnovers, and mishandling of the football (also can be attributed to first game and jitters caused by a first game). Now the biggest problem for the Whitley County offense was something that they had no control over -HOW DEPRESSING TO FACE 80 PLUS YARDS ON EVERY OFFENSIVE DRIVE OF YOUR OPENING GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST A VERY GOOD DEFENSE THAT HAS AN ADVANTAGE OF ONE GAME PLAYED! Runitupthegut said it right and the kicker for Russell County should have the game ball and be named THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Gentlemen that situation would be very depressing on an offense in your first home game. Whitley will be fine and very dangerous and fun to watch this year......this game had "trap" written all over it for an opening game.
