How good is Ashland?

The offense is solid this year the defense is still a work in progress. BC pushed them around like a rag doll in the first half and it was the first time this season they trailed at the half and truly had the defense not dug their heels in the red zone and forcing 3 or 4 turnovers on downs the could’ve been in a huge hole. So I know Chad and company were giving those young men props for keeping them in the game at the half. Then the third quarter is a quarter that BC would like to forget. Strader coming in and going off on the BC secondary for 3 TD passes and 237 yards in the third quarter alone. Strader came in because Houston had dislocated a finger on his throwing hand late in the second quarter plus they wanted Strader to come in at some point to get reps in live game to knock off the rust from missing 3 games. The defense after halftime shut down BC. Sorry I rambled a bit but I’m an Ashland grad maybe just a lil biased towards them lol.

Hey, from a Tomcat fan....Are they are a solid football team? Yes. Do they stand a chance of winning 4A?  No. Their last two games of the year against Johnson Central and Simon Kenton should be a challenge and also give us an idea about how much noise they can make in the playoffs.
