Coach Richie Busby says unbeaten Huskies must overcome injuries, complacency against red-hot Wildcats.
Helena coach Richie Busby, shown disputing an official's call during a game at Husky Stadium in Helena, Ala., on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023, has his team at 8-0 headed into a game on Friday, Oct. 27, at Benjamin Russell. Sixth-ranked Helena is riding high headed to Alexander City on Friday to meet Benjamin Russell in a critical Class 6A, Region 3 showdown. The Huskies are unbeaten after eight games and in first place in region play.
The injury bug has hit Helena hard this season as well. Receiver Torrey Ward has been out with a hand/wrist injury that required surgery, the coach said. Ward had 16 catches for 215 yards with 3 touchdowns when he was forced out. “Friday night may be the first time we’ve started the same five offensive linemen back-to-back all year.”
“Everybody does everything they can to take him away from us,” Benjamin Russell head coach Smitty Grider said. “We’re fortunate that we have a lot of other guys making plays for us. Every week, we have to find new ways to get him touches and that’s a challenge sometimes.” Defensively, Grider said his squad is young with two senior starters. Freshmen – Kalib Spivey and Kendarious Byrd – are handling the defensive end duties. Spivey, 6-3, 240 pounds, has an offer from Auburn. Byrd is 5-10, 225.
Helena is averaging 41.8 points a game and giving up 11.5. Senior Jordan Washington has run for 1,131 yards on 163 carries and with more than 3,500 career yards is Helena’s all-time leading ground-gainer. Washington has scored 16 touchdowns.
