Belfry's got a few guys that can lay the wood. Seth Mounts is another one. It's great to see him back from injury and playing out his senior season on the field. He set the tone last week against Bell County.

This will probably be the most competitive game this weekend in my opinion but I’m going with the Tomcats 34-32.

Will there be a live feed for this game? This is one I'd like to watch.

MyTownTv should stream the game on Facebook and YouTube simeltaneously. I, or someone, else will post the links tomorrow once they confirm for sure that they are doing the game. They've streamed Ashland's home games all season.

When Mounts is on the field he is one of the best LB's in Kentucky. PERIOD!

His career has been defined with injuries. I know he has some FCS love and offers, if he can avoid the injury bug he will be an absolute steal for a school.

I am not sure Belfry has had a Punt Return this season stand up LOL. Usually there are multiple de-cleaters, unfortunately it seems they are often illegal ones.

Coleman, Lowe, Chaffin, and Mounts all are thumpers.

Chaffin is a very underrated CB. Excellent size at 6'1 and plays the run leveraging about as good as you will find. As good as Dixon is, those four guys are the key to if Belfry wins the next two weeks.

- Belfry has not played but one game on anything other than turf. Regardless I think that will have an effect to some degree whether the field is dry or wet regardless.

- One mis-conception is Belfry's offense is built for a muddy game. I disagree. The Pirates depend heavily on their linemen getting blocks up and getting to the LB's and with as much ball handling for fakes and reads as well as the cuts needed for what Belfry does, I am not convinced it is an offense best equipped for adverse field conditions.

- With that said, Ashland's game is speed and explosion. No doubt a muddy track would effect that as well. Ashland also maintains good balance and passes good bit. One oft heir advantages this game would be their vertical passing game, but that may be effected.

- Isaac Dixon is a freak. His feet and ability to change direction on a dime are what makes him special. A wet or muddy field is not ideal for his style of running.

Watch these highlights from Friday of Dixon doing what he does and I am not sure all them happen on a muddy track.

It definitely will affect both teams however Ashland plays 90 percent or more of It’s games on grass and played In the mud last week. Advantage Ashland. These Tomcat Seniors remember beating JC a few years back for the District Title when no one gave them a punchers chance and know what they need to do to pull the upset. Last seasons loss to Belfry has haunted them for over a year and I look for Ashland to play inspired Football and pull the upset. 24-21

One of the biggest hits I’ve seen live. That was last season against Knox Central on a punt return. That kid forget his name is the starting middle Linebacker this season. Video isn’t great but at the end of the play that’s the kids helmet not the football rolling backwards.

Not really a little drizzle a couple days Sunday Monday it’s warm and Sunny today. Field should be good at the start. Probably will get a little messy some as the game goes on. I’ll post a picture of the field here in a few.

If Belfry doesn’t turn the ball over, I look for at least a two touchdown victory.  If they give Ashland a short field and too many penalties, it could be a very close game.  Congratulations to the young man that committed to Army.

Not that I agree with it but wouldn't this be considered a blind side hit and a 15 yard penalty?  I'm old school and feel you need to pay attention at all times on the field, but I've seen many flags thrown for this type of hit on the side.
