Big words from a team that didn't even get the chance to play Belfry last year. I'm sure Russell has a talented backfield, they always do, but to bring up all that talk about May was pretty much a cheap shot. You never hear anyone from Belfry talk about how Gross was the 3rd best back on the field when his undefeated Russell team came to Vipperman and got smacked in the mouth by Jones and Howard. You don't hear them mention how Doug Howard stiffed armed Russell's all time leading rusher to the ground as he went to the endzone. But thats ok you just keep talking about May. The kid was only first team all state last year and tied for the most overall votes. Where did Gross & Clark end up on the all state ballot? Was it first team?

That stiff arm was on Russell's other cornor that year. He was 155 lbs soaking wet.

But That team wore Russell down and turned a close game into a comfortable victory. They were the best team. Jones was the best player on the field. All three RBs put on a show though. Jones and Gross each had over 200 yards and I believe Howard had over 190.

Yes Gross and Clark were both first team all state.

Fans from Russell and Belfry need to lay off each other. They both have great programs that have produced many very good football players. No need to cheapen either one.
