The Panthers take on Class 2A powerhouse Danville on the road tonight after winning their past five contests.
Since the season-opening loss to Franklin-Simpson, Russellville has been on a tear - especially against its Class 3A, District 2 competition.
In district games, the Panthers have outscored their opponents 140-56.
But Danville is traditionally one of the best teams in the state.
So far this year, the Admirals are 5-2 and have won their last three games. Danville's two losses came against cross-town rival Boyle County (one of the top teams in Class) and Class 6A George Rogers Clark.
During Danville's recent win streak, the Admirals have beaten Fort Knox 47-7, Campbellsville 35-20 and Bardstown 40-26.
Last year, Danville came to Russellville and handed the Panthers their worst loss of the season, beating them 54-22.
After that humbling loss, the Panthers rebounded to win their next five games before losing in the Class 3A quarterfinals to eventual state champion Louisville Central.
