Aaron Snyder in Ashland's Daily Independent: "I'm not saying Flatwoods isn't a friendly place, but ..."
ReplyDeleteI've been leaving Flatwoods off the labels on these 3A posts, and I should've known better. I dated a girl who went to Russell High in college, and I knew she was from Flatwoods.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Wikipedia says, "Russell's students are served by Russell Independent Schools, which it shares with its neighbors, Flatwoods and Bellefonte. The main campus, which includes Russell High School, Russell Middle School, Russell Primary School and the Russell Area Technology Center, sit on the Russell/Flatwoods city line (all of the school's mailing addresses are Russell, but they receive primary police and fire protection from Flatwoods). In addition, the district's central office is located in downtown Russell. The Russell High School football field is home to a fire-breathing Red Devil, the school's mascot Rudy, who sits atop the scoreboard. Russell High School was the 1978 Kentucky State 3A football champion, as well as the 2005 Kentucky State 2A football champion."
At some point, @SWHS_Sports ("Hub of all things South Warren sports #SpartanNation #BelieveThisHype") changed the title of its Twitter page to "PaducahTilghmanwho?"
