Wow Painter, that is what you call a GOOD memory! Kudos to you

The year was 2003, Halloween night to be exact, when Boyd Co upset Ashland 34 – 14 in the regular season finale played at Boyd. I remember how surprised I was seeing the BC students climb the goal posts. No one saw that one coming but it’s worth noting that BC Coach Dane Damron was heard saying after that game, he would see us (Ashland) in two weeks at Putnam Stadium. That following week, Boyd went into the unfriendly territory of Log Mountain…home of the powerful Bell Co Bobcats…for an opening round playoff game. Bell had only tasted defeat once that season and had been blasting nearly every opponent by double digit margins...but the Lions won 31 – 20. That was an upset of large proportions.

 

When the Bell / Boyd score was announced at Ashland’s first round game, the crowd erupted knowing that the Tomcats would a shot at redemption against the Lions. That second round contest was one of the more exciting games I remember between these two schools. Ashland won that game 24 – 15.

Geez Painter, ya got it all down except how buttery the popcorn was that night. :thumb:

Painter’s son was a senior on that 2003 team. I think these 2 games are permanently etched on his memory. :thumb:

 

That second game was great. It’s not often that you get a second chance against a district foe in football.
