Greenup County's run defense is pretty solid. Their pass defense is a work in progress for sure, at times it was awful last night then at times pretty decent on coverage. They had their chance after a great drive in just a couple minutes to end the half that fell just short of a TD and ended up going into the locker room down 6-0. This team has tons more grit than the past two though, it's like night and day. And your also looking a sophomore and junior dominated team especially at the skill positions.

Jeffrey Williams this year is a shell of what he has been with his shoulder issue. He was in for a couple plays and did run the short TD but he is nothing like the player he was. With sophomores Byrd and Hunt developing at rb and qb and juniors Lawson running the ball and TE Cochran having a big diving reception on the scoring drive, they have younger kids developing. They will be fine and will win a couple this year. It's just hard to recover from the depths this program was at.

I think Russell will be fine this year too. They have good size up front and are young also. They will be a lot better as the season progresses. Last night was pretty much an endurance test in the humidity with lots of cramping and there were a lot of gassed kids out there in a grind it out game. Someone posted that this game would be a test of wills and that's exactly what we got.
