Momentum has a tendency to come in different ways, all of which are appreciated by any team. And for the Benjamin Russell boys team, it’s hoping the dominant win over Elmore County can be the key to getting them through Class 6A Area 5 play. 

“We're getting ready to go and get a crucial part of this season's area play,” BRHS coach Jeremy Freeman said. “And the last thing you need to be doing is not coming off something successful. But here again, we've been battling, battling, battling on the road, and it's just good to be at home.”
