When I read that play description, I thought that had to be a typo. Nope, there was a defender hanging onto him for 15 yards.

It was an amazing play by Willie but the defender also made a very good play, one to be proud of.

Looking forward to seeing stats. The Tomcats probably out gained the Colonels by a 100 yards.

Halftime Stats:
Ashland - 182 total yards (94 pass/88 rush)
Cov Cath  - 197 total yards (135 pass/62 rush)

Final Stats:
Ashland - 406 total yards (199 pass/207 rush)
Cov Cath  - 361 total yards (180 pass/181 rush)

Ashland definitely has some talent, but my main thought was their defense gameplay was so bad. I try to stay away from criticizing coaches too much, but if you don’t change up the coverages/looks on Pitzer and EE, it’s going to be a long night. I think we scored TDs on 5 of 7 possessions and the only possession in the game we didn’t score on when we were not running out the clock or trying to get them to burn TOs was when Pitzer missed on a couple throws to Miller. Otherwise he was money all night. 

When you play that much loose man, you put so much pressure on your DBs to tackle guys 1 on 1 in space and at the catch point. A player like Rodriguez at TE is going to go off vs a regular high school player trying to bring him down 1 on 1. A special game by 10. I also thought Leen played a great game at RB and was an impact player running through a bunch of tackles.

Very impressed by Ashland.  They had some big boys!

Hopefully Pitzer injury is nothing to worry about.  I just cringe when our QB runs so much, especially when he is such a good thrower of the ball.  Not complaining of the play he ran on, just in general.  

Leen is a beast! Such a great player. Reeves also had a great game, high energy.

Willie is definitely a man among boys and Pitzer is just so smooth. I hope he’s getting the college looks he deserves.

True, he is a beast. The Tomcats are very young, including the rider, who is a freshman. A grown man and a kid, literally and figuratively. Good luck to Cov Cath, with all the talk centered around Boyle and Corbin, I hope to see the Colonels crash the party. The young Tomcats also played a nice game and have a bright future. Definitely nothing to hang their heads about. 

Props to Harney for chasing down the Ashland runner in the 4th quarter.  Although Ashland ended up scoring, it allowed more time to run off the clock after that play and allowed the Colonels to run the clock out.  Sometimes it is big hustle plays like that which go forgotten, which can save a game.

Oops *Defensive gameplan not gameplay
