After a very well played second half against Russell I think that the Ashland players are gaining more confidence and is up to the challenge of Montgomery Co. I think that Hart needs to keep Thomas in the backfield and after the Russell game he should realize this. Ashland still to tackle better and if they do the fundamental things then they should keep the game close.

I think Thomas is fine where he is. Rashard Carter was the catalyst for Ashland rebounding last week. The kid is tough and is really going to be something special IMO. Thomas had the one long run but Carter is your every down back.

MC wins by 14.

I have to go with Montgomery Co. Ashland is improving, but that line is still the problem IMO.

I will say Montgomery Co. by 6 and hope that I am wrong. GO Tomcats!

I know very little about Montgomery Co. - except that they are improving.

 

I expect a close game. Ashland is strill struggling (but improving) - I think that they will get their first win.

 

I still believe,

You can always throw out the records in the Ashland/Russell game, I wouldn't take too much from that game because it's always a close game no matter if one team is more talented than the other.

If Thomas is at his best Ashland wins. If not MC by 14. Ashland needs to throw the ball more. But Matt can't do it all. Coach Hart should let #3 show his stuff. They are going to need him next year. Hart loves to mix it up, but Ashland needs to see what this player can do with his arm and not put Thomas back at QB everytime they need to pass. This should be a good game, but don't over look MC. They can play!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're just starting to learn about Montgomery Co. - they are a new opponent for us. The team watched game film of them last night. I heard that they are very good. Coach said that they are the best team we have faced yet this year.

 

The Tomcats will need to play good football Friday night. I think they can do it.

Love the avatar! :ylsuper:

 

Appreciate it redevil...Yours is pretty nice too...Payton was awesome:banana:

Too close to call for me. Mason County scrimmaged both of these teams, and Montgomery County looked better against the Royals than Ashland did. However, it's hard to make a pick based strictly on pre-season scrimmages, and Ashland must have improved some to hang with Russell.

 

Should be a very good game.

I think the young Tomcats gained a some confidence last week and it carries over into this weeks game.

Ashland wins.

No one comes close in my book. Great athlete. Even greater human being. He left way too soon.

Well after watching practice a can say that Ashland appears not to be ready for the game in my eyes which doesnt mean much. To much goofing off and the players seemed to be having way to much for a team that is winless. I am going to change my prediction

Ashland is still searching for their 1st win, game is being played at the holy grail, use to Ashland would have a 2 td advantage before you could get off the bus, but I have seen Ashland play, Montgomery Co. is 3-1 and is having some success, I like M. Co. by 10.
