You know what. Call me a fool but I actually feel pretty confident about this game. I do agree that this game reminds me of the Russell/Belfry game in 04. But for different reasons. In that game Belfry had played some tough games and been tested throughout the season. Russell was breezing through that 04 season. They were never really challenged util the semifinals against the Pirates.

The roles seem to be reversed in this one. Russell has played a VERY GOOD Mason Co team twice along with Raceland and Simon Kenton late in the year. They have seen spread teams and they have seen power teams.

Breathitt really hasn't been challenged since LCA and before that by Prestonsburg and Boyd County early in the season.

I'm not being cocky on this one but I do like Russell's chances.

Yeah, this one is going to be a tough one. For both teams. However, its all in the attitude. Who wants it more! Brethitt brings a passing game, and Russell has gotten better to the Passsing defense. But we all know that Russell gets sucked into the middle and plays a little too deep on the zone coverage. The slant kills us. But however adapting to those plays is Russell's greatest strength. I just hope our adapting isn't too late in the GAME!!
