Don't think you'd likely see Raceland on the schedule. Non-district games are about two things, getting a good test and making $$$$$. While Raceland may provide a good game, they will not provide the $$$$$. Even if everyone in Raceland came to the game, that is only 1500 people. They didn't even fill up the visitors side at Putnam. I know Ironton is a possibility, but last I heard, Russell had contacted them and were pretty much sloughed off. I think Lawrence is pretty much a go. I know Wayne, WV is a possibility. I also doubt the games they pick up would be very far trips. If you have away games and have to drive to Paintsville, etc...you lose money because of gas and such. But hey, I could be wrong.

I personally would like to see Russell play:
Wayne, WV
Ironton/Wheelersburg
Prestonsburg/Pikeville

We could always change the Raceland game to SATURDAY due to rain out,,,, then we would gaurantee that the gate would be a MONEY MAKER$$$$$$$$.
Uhhmm sorry for the reference....

Wayne would be a great matchup. That one would be tough for both schools. This would be a first of the year game hopefully when you still are figuring out where kids will play. Would be a great game for both schools... a real test and great talent to play against.

I agree with the travel times for P.Burg aor Paintsville, not cost friendly,,,but Russell probably has the LARGEST travel base support for any school around.
I said Probably people it aint proven....
