Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Hezekiah Hunter (23) is closing in on 1,000 yards for the season.

The playoffs are out of the question for Benjamin Russell’s football team, but instead of focusing on that, the Wildcats are trying to look at what’s ahead.

“That’s a tough battle and it’s a battle we’re not in a lot of times around here,” BRHS coach Kevin Smith said. “What we’ve said is we’re fighting right now for a 5-5 record; we don’t want to have a losing season. Even putting that aside, we’re just looking at let’s go 2-0. We gotta forget the rest of it and just go 2-0 the rest of the season.”
