I agree. Russell needs to put together a bit tougher schedule. Nothing against any of the other teams in the district but Russell may be a level higher than many.

Russell's biggest problem over the past several years is that the starters have been out before the half. While that gives the younger players some valuable playing time it leads to deconditioning of the starters. Take Belfry in 04. Russell played with them in the first half but after halftime when they needed to play a full game it looked like they were running out of steam. The 05 team was maybe not as good as the 04 team and had to play a bit deeper in the games and it helped them in the long run.

Looks like you and I will get to meet in the fall. Since Lawrence is on Russell's schedule this year.

Yes we do atleast we get you early and before you get a chance to get rolling,.
