Over-all I think Russell looked great considering their level of experience as Varsity Starters. However, I seriously doubt this team as young as it is will face another team with more experience than this years seniors. I mean how many playoff games have they played in over the past 2 seasons. 10!
Boyd County's secondary unit looked great and shut down the RHS passing game. They have lots of skill and experience back there and IMO will eat Lawrence Co and Greenup Co alive. Those of you that know me probably think I'm a little biased on that but you'll have that I guess.

As for being out experienced, BC fired their O line after last week and from tackle to tackle were all Sophmores last night. All of which had never taken a single Varsity snap. Hats off to the BC coaching staff for a well coached game with 1 exception.

The play call at the end of the 2nd QTR inside the Russell 5 yd line. Instead of running sweep they should have went pass w/ 10 seconds to play on 2nd down. If you get 2 incompletes you go for the field goal. If BC makes the right play call they go into the locker room up 2 TDs instead of 1. Same kind of thing happened to Russell at Belfry in 2004(we failed to convert after a fumble inside the 5 and Belfry scored before the half).

Russell pulled it together as a TEAM last night and showed the grit that makes all of us proud. Then they ground it out for the win. Great win for Russell. I think this '07 team matured immensly last night and they make me proud to be a Red Devil! :devilflam

Amen to that. but as for your comment on playoff experience, if you look at the juniors/seniors this year only Jones has played in 10 games, Foster and Harvey started in last years playoff run, but only on the offensive side. Some of the other Juniors, "baily,abrams etc." seen some action, but that was it. But if you count just being a part of that atmosphere from the sideline, then you're right this team has been down the playoff road before. But we've 8 more games to go to see how they develop before we even need to mention playoffs.
