Climb on up.


The positives from last night.

Russell had more first downs than Mason and won the time of possesionby a long shot. Drew Abrams ran for 128 yards.

The defense held Mason County to 9 first downs and under 200 yards of total offense.

Effort. I thought Russell and Mason both played hard the entire game. It was a hard hitting game by both teams.



The negatives. Russell shot themselves in the foot enough on special teams to give Mason County good field position most of the night.

The passing game was terrible. Held on to the ball way to long looking down field resulting in sacks and giving the defensive backs for Mason enough time to close on open recievers.

Play calling. I understand having to pass at the end but getting away from the run really cost Russell in this one. It was somewhat reminicent of the game with Mercer County a couple of years ago. This is not as much of an issue though had open recievers been hit on time.

Lets get ready for Raceland and the playoffs. Everything that went wrong last night is something that can be easily fixed.
