Just six months away, the Russell Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship will be played at downtown Rome’s Barron Stadium on Dec. 19, and host committee members are busy making sure this upcoming game runs as smooth as the last one.

Shorter College served as the host school for the 2008 and will again fill that position in 2009.
