I believe I have already established my opinion that Ashland is in a rebuilding process and will have a tough time for a couple of years. I applaud them for going with the young men they have and I support them win or lose. I don't know that snide comments are warranted.

 

It's a bit late in the season to be rescheduling games. However, I don't make the AD decisions. Personally I would have liked the T-Cats to have had the opportunity to play one of the best.

 

Just did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:taz:

Teams undergo good years and rebuilding years, that's just the nature of middle school and high school basketball. But having the opportunity for teams to play others that are at least perceived to be loaded only assists teams in advancing up the learning curve. I have to disagree with your comment that it's too late in the season to reschedule games, because every game played can be a learning opportunity for both teams. Elliott utilized the open date to schedule a game with another top team in the state to prepare them for the intensity and talent they will hopefully encounter in the coming month.

Truth with no spin.

And more of the same truth.

Haha to all! It would appear that being an Ashland fan even though tough times is unpopular on here.

Yes, the Clark Co. game was a good one.

Many of the Ashland posters before you, TruBlu, have seemed to exhibit a superiority complex by always tooting about "the tradition" and saying such things as "everyone else wants to be Ashland" with references that only apply to a bygone era when the school was at a different location and went by a different name. Such attitudes don't engender a lot of support from other modern day area posters.

 

You, unlike many of your earlier cohorts, continue to post for your team- even during these extended times when Ashland is, at best, mediocre. You are to be commended so don't be offended. On the other hand, don't look for any sympathy, either.:thumb:

Congrats to GRC on the win.

Hatton finished with 27 points and took advantage of his scoring opportunities. Clark raced out to a 7-0 lead and never trailed, but couldn’t get into an offensive flow because of foul trouble. Zollo completed a double-double with 10 rebounds.
