What does Ashland need to do to improve in 2007? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

Ashland loses the entire starting O-Line so they need alot of help right there. I look for Josh Salisbury, Justin Pennington, Stacey Bester, and a few more to step it up big time. If they can make the holes, then Matt Thomas can make it through them.

I believe Ashland loses 18 out of 22 starters including their kicker. 10 starters leave on defense and 8 on offense.

I have to agree with Tomcat Fan. I would say Ashland will need an O line more than anything. And second I would have to say they will need a defensive player to take Fields Davis' place. They have a playmaker in Thomas, just fill in the blanks.

Ashland is a sleeping giant.....

This senior class was a very good one, and had big numbers which will be hard to replace but IMO they have the people who can fill in. O line will be the big issue, with all 5 starters gone and many backups graduated.

Has anyone seen Ashland's schedule for next year yet?

Looks like a good excuse for me to head out to the Reserve before the game.

Ashland has a good sophomore class coming up. Need to get them strong in the weight room. They had a good jv season but very few of them saw any varsity time. Mahan has got to be able to take better care of the ball. Johnson is a good receiver, although was not passed to much last season, S. Burns probably led jv in receptions and touchdowns from passes. Badly need some of these guys to step up for the o-line.

I believe Ashland might struggle for a bit this year...They have some good athletes, but lacking some positional players, especially linemen.

I too think they will strugle early, but should be fine once the younger guys get some experience.
