RUSSELL SPRINGS - It was a game only a mother could hate. The Boyle County Rebels liked it just fine, even though they were trying to gain ground on a Russell County field that had the consistency of chocolate pudding.

The Rebels plowed their way to their fourth straight win through goop that turned their white jerseys brown.

RUSSELL SPRINGS - The party's over at Casey County. The Rebels had plenty to feel good about after opening the season with a win, but they were feeling the wrath of coach Andy Stephens after a decidedly different kind of game Friday night. Stephens was frustrated after seeing his team fall flat at rival Russell County, which took advantage of visiting Casey's struggles to post a 30-12 win. The Rebels said a week earlier that their opening win over Grant County could be a catalyst for the rest of their season, but they sputtered for two-thirds of this game.
