FLATWOODS, Ky. — Coming into a big-time girls soccer matchup, the Wheelersburg Pirates' and Russell Red Devils' girls soccer programs already had high respect levels from their peers that were well-earned, and well-deserved.
But prior to this particular matchup, Russell, who was ranked 59th nationally among all girls soccer programs in the entire United States, had all the pub.
However, the Lady Devils, who entered the match with a 6-0 overall record, weren't the better team on Thursday evening.
Wheelersburg continued to show onlookers and observers why a potential program history making postseason run could certainly be in the cards, as the Lady Pirates knocked the Lady Devils off the perch of the unbeaten in an impressive 3-1 road win at the Russell Soccer Complex in Flatwoods, Ky.
The win elevated Jon Estep's girls team to a perfect 6-0 — and an unblemished 4-0 on the road to begin 2026.

FLATWOODS In stormy seas, the captain takes the helm. In a Backyard Brawl, the captain gets the ball.
With the heated rivalry game deadlocked at 22-22, Russell won the overtime coin flip and chose defense first against Greenup County.
Red Devils coach TJ Maynard said he and his staff predetermined if they managed to stop the Musketeers, they'd go with the Wildcat formation and repeatedly direct-snap to junior Kaiden Benge.
The plan worked. On third down, Benge bolted from the backfield and found the left side of the end zone from 12 yards out to lift Russell to a 28-22 triumph in extra time at Henry R. Evans Stadium Friday.
"It was so magical to see," said junior Spencer Gross. "I was blocking back side, and he just kept going. He was relentless and didn't give up. When he scored, I knew our mission was complete; I was so happy and joyous to see it. … 'Benny' showed us why he's a leader, why he's a captain."

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus are two peas in a country pod.
Hurley, during a recent interview on SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live," said the couple – who have been together nearly a year and a half – are "remarkably similar in strangely different ways."
"We've both been in showbiz our whole lives. We've both lived out of suitcases our entire lives, so that's very normal for us," she said. "You're not reliable for anything because work comes first, so we've both been that person for a very long time, and that really helps. We're both also, again, even though we've always both worked in the cities, we're both country mice at heart."
Hurley, who grew up in a market town in Hampshire, England, and Cyrus, who is from Flatwoods, Kentucky, share a desire for a quiet life, she said.
"We like bird watching. We've got binoculars. We've got long lenses, and we watch 'Birds of Prey' a lot," she continued. "I do the gardening. He sits under a tree and plays his guitar, and we couldn't be happier. May sound odd to some people, but for me, it's bliss."
