The two loses that Russell has had over the last two years has been played in rainey weather. Pikeville last year and Fleming this year. The other loses they just got beat by a better team. Not to say Pikeville wasn't better, but they acted like they didn't want to be there, just like the Fleming game.

Last year, in almost identical conditions, Russell hammered a 6-0, top 5 ranked Mason Co. team on that very same field. No one could have foreseen how badly Russell would handle the wet, rainy conditions against Fleming. I'm choosing to believe that the Fleming loss was like a cold bucket of water being poured on the sleeping Devils and now they're wide awake.
