There are only 2 more games on Russell’s schedule that they have no shot of winning, Ashland and Raceland. Their district will be tough this year with West Carter and Bath County competing with them, but they still could win it. That’s why I think this week’s Ironton game is a huge one for both programs. Ironton has a new coach looking for his first win and Russell does not need to go 0-3.

If Russell played Raceland next week then I would agree with you 100% but with the game being at the end of the season they could have a shot due to potential injuries injuries throughout the season and the fact that Russell could improve a lot between now and then. That being said, if they are to win that game Russell has to have a lot of things go their way and hope that Raceland isn’t peaking when they play.
