I don't understand the decision to keep running the counter trap into the strength of ashlands defense. Johnson and Ellis nullified the guards and cEnter while Obryan, justice, swift and Johnson closed and tackled. Time and time again Russell ran the play without any success. In all seriousness, the first team likely had negative rushing yards. Ashlands defense really does do a nice job. I still think conditioning is an issue for Russell. The Russell players battled hard and gave great effort but were totally gassed by the third quarter. On a sour note ashlands starting center, Drew Walters, hurt his leg. Hope he makes a speedy recovery and can get back on the field this year. He is an excellent player. Johnson filled in for him and did an admirable job. Wish the devils luck the rest of the year.
