It looks like this is a much improved Bath County that has a nice running game. Junior Landan Swartz has rushed for over 1,400 yards this year for Bath County. Bath County's defense still looks weak after the loss to Fleming at home 49-20 and they are scoring aprox 30 points a game and giving up 30 points a game. I believe in last 4 or 5 weeks Russell has found some young players in freshman and soph. to take over at Running and also at Receivers. The Defense for Russell lost 3 starters at CB and they seem to be getting better over last 5 games. In the last 5 games except for Fleming Russell has averaged 45ppg. and given up 15ppg. and half of that was in the Fleming County loss. Russell should win this game by 2-3 touchdowns and then a close game with Raceland the following week. It will be interesting to see how well this young Russell team will finish after starting with 4-5 starters that went down with Injuries that played on both sides of the ball.
