That's why I said "recent history"...

 

If you're looking at the entire history of P-burg/Ashland football, Ashland dominated in the 4 games played from 1935 to 1941. Historically, Ashland was a true juggernaut then. As a matter of fact, Prestonsburg didn't even score in those games... :eek:

 

I don't know why you said "prior to the 1984 season"... In reality, there was a span of more than 60 years between the 4th and 5th games of the all-time series !!

 

The only other 4 meetings are the recent series which begun in 2004. I already mentioned those earlier.

I wasn't sure when they were played, That came from a 1984 program "compositite record" my sophmore year. That was my reference point, I just knew we didn't play them in that stretch 84 until 2002.:thumb:

I understand your view oneijoe. Prestonsburg HAS been a competitive game for Ashland. I, however, dont belive that the... "rivalry" for lack of a better word is good for these two programs. We saw a young man get injured last week and could have seen more. The Prestonsburg/Ashland games seem to get a little intense and may need a few years to cool off not only for the players but for the coaches and fans as well.

 

Looking forward to playing Pburg again in the future,

Now THIS, I understand... And you may be right. :thumb:

 

I could be wrong, but I believe the Cats pick Ironton back up next year.

 

Dropping P-burg to re-establish the Ashland/Ironton series would make perfect sense for the Toms (there's a lot of history between the two schools, and Ironton likes its Harbinger cows).

Calling Shively a suburb to Louisville and Ashland a suburb to Huntington is POOR logic OneIJoe.

 

I usually respect you comments, but your off base here. Shively blends into Louisville to the point where you cannot discern a difference between the two.

 

Ashland is 13 (i'm going off old memory) miles from and nearly half the size of Huntington. I don't think its a valid comparison. If you want to gripe, fine. I understand and even encourage it, but the "suburb" comparision is weak IMO.

 

Why not just tell your true opinion of the series (within the limits of the rules of course) and quit trying to reach a level of nuance that isn't fitting?

 

Are you saying a better example might be...Belfry being a suburb of Williamson ??
