COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Tough two games for the Dawgs against Belfry and Floyd Central. We are battling the injury bug right now with Kaiden Harris out. It is a great opportunity for some of our guys to step up and I have no doubt they will do exactly that. I hate it for Harris as he is a senior. We will play it safe and make sure he is fully healthy before we rush him back. A little adversity will only make us better down the stretch. We have played a very tough schedule up to this point and I have no doubt that will pay dividends down the stretch. Looking forward to hosting a really good Russell team tomorrow night!”
