District 1A, District 1
- Russellville (5-1) – As predicted, Russellville easily dispatched of 6A, Barren County (2-4) and will win again easily this week versus Fulton County. With a win against Fulton County, RHS will lock up a home playoff game in round 1 or round 2 of the playoffs depending upon the Crittenden vs. Russellville game outcome. With a win against Crittenden, RHS would receive a first round bye and have a home playoff game in round 2. With a loss against Crittenden, RHS would host Fulton County in Round 1 of the playoffs. This assumes Fulton County loses to both RHS and Crittenden.
RHS currently has the second highest RPI (.831) in all classes. 2A, Lexington Christian holds a .968 RPI for the top spot.
Russellville’s 2020 senior class took advantage of the extra year of eligibility rule and seven of the eight seniors have returned for a fifth year. Additionally, four players appear on the RHS roster that were on the Logan County football team in 2020 (two of those being fifth year seniors). However, Russellville had 32 players on its roster in 2020 and in 2021 it only has 30.
Russellville has an open week on its schedule currently on October 8th. CC will play Russellville the following week on October 15th.
- Fulton County (1-5) – Fulton County travels to Russellville this week. Fulton County is averaging 81.2 yards passing and 59.3 yards rushing per game.
