Russell Broncos - Weekly Activities Update - (10/14/21)
Welcome to The Bucking Chute!
Friday's Football Game to Decide Playoff Fate
With a win, the Broncos will host a first round game in the KSHSAA 3A State Football playoffs.
Should Russell come up short in Friday, the team's fate will rest in the outcome of the other district games taking place Friday evening. Scott City hosts undefeated Southeast of Saline, who has yet to defeat an opponent by less than 30 points, while Colby travels to Goodland for a rivalry contest. A Russell loss would more than likely send the Broncos on the road to Riley County or Concordia for a playoff contest.
Regardless, there is a definite possibility that Russell will play a meaningful game in Week 9 for the first time in 15 years. That game will take place on Friday, Oct. 29, likely at 7:00 p.m.

B.R.O.N.C.O. OF THE WEEK
Sam Whitten - RHS Cross Country
Coach Dorzweiler on Sam...
Sam is a humble yet confident athlete who is eager to use his talents to their fullest extent. He is always hungry for competition and improvement, is considerate, and works and performs with a “can do” attitude.
What Makes Sam a B.R.O.N.C.O.?
Sam puts forth his best effort as he draws out and supports others in giving their best. He is a very approachable young man, but when the race gun goes off, it is all serious business as he is off to the races without looking back until he crosses the finish line. He journeys through life as in running one joyful stride at a time.

REMINDER - Fan Ejection Policy
Fan Ejections: Any member of a Russell crowd, who is ejected from a game (by an official or an administrator) for unsportsmanlike conduct toward an official, or a participant, will face a one-game suspension. To be clear, they will not be able to attend the next game, whether it's at home or on the road.
Additionally, any member of a Russell crowd, who prompts an "If I hear one more word, that person will need to leave" scenario, from an official or an administrator, will be removed from that contest as a proactive measure. Quite simply, there is no reason for this behavior to reach that point.
A new KSHSAA rule offers a similar consequence.
"Any participant (player, coach, spectator) who is ejected for making contact with an official, or who is ejected for unsporting behavior directed toward an official, shall be subject to a non-appealable suspension from the next contest at that level, and for all contests at any level (in that activity) until the suspension has been served. Local school leadership may levy additional sanctions as they deem appropriate
It's very simple...please let the officials do their jobs, and leave them alone. KSHSAA has lost more than 500 officials across the state in the last year. We need to take care of the officials who work our contests.
