Ashland Tomcat 1959

Morgan by 8

Other posters can make comments about Rose Hill but how dare a Tomcat Alumni? For your information I have commented about other teams as well. I am not against nor am I bashing any kids or the program that Ovinton J'Anthony helped to build. Keep up the great hustle Royals! Can't wait til January 15th! Hush, Hush Sweet Child. Silence is coming.

All of the above is a form of a cop out. Even within the confines of a team atmosphere there is nothing wrong with individual attention, if so then many on here should never mention how great certain players are only their teams. Since no one is listing any players I'll go first...here goes 1. Kyle Umberger 2. Mark Surgalski These two guys were outstanding in this region and did it in a team structure.

How have I bashed any kid? For what it is worth, Rose Hill has a program.

True!!!! Just curious how others (generations) view what makes a MVP and why.

Who do you think is the MVP of the 16th Region over the last 25 years? Can be current or old school. Have at it.

Agreeable Post. I was not hacking on him as a person or a player. Just presenting some facts of interest. Todd May is who comes to my mind when discussing this situation. Best of luck to the Royals except against the Traditionally Rich All Time Winningest Program in the State...The Ashland Tomcats!

No I'm not making fun of any kid and I never will. My response is not critical, or sarcastic but it is realistic and by the way who is 15? There have been many great high schoolers find themselves transferring from big colleges after their freshman year. Both of Rose Hill's prospects may be better off at a smaller school. Let me give you an example of one of my own. Mark Surgaski, in my opinion was a great player in this region. He ended up at Georgetown, where he played really well. I am not saying anything bad about any kid, so quit adding words to my post. You didnt argue with my post so maybe deep down, you agree.

Good Win for the Tomcats!

If these stats are correct, then enough said! May want to consider Berea or Transy.

I have to go watch the Tomcats. Chat with you all tomorrow. Great win Devils.

You should be easy to find because your cervical vertebrae tends to reveal a certain pliancy suggesting that your conscientiousness is neither West Bound nor East Bound (RTE 60) but somewhere in the middle. Perhaps, not suggesting but just perhaps caught in the middle at let's say Western Hills or the Marathon Station. You should make up your mind but it is nice to know that you still care about Ashland and it's rich tradition.:thumb:

If you were slamming someone you would have used more educated words to hide behind. Good job Lil Devils! Keep working hard and you will improve.

Last night at that game, please help me with this..."Kilts"?

Not surprising. Any Stats?

In the 16th Regional it is Ashland's Student section...hands down the best kids in the area to cheer and support their teams.

What does the Good Word have to do with Ashland and their superiority over the rest of the region? By the way, can't believe that BC would still allow the Bible to be read.

Outside of Rocky Adkins (one of the Finest Point Guards ever to play in this region) and this year's team...well, you tell me? Elliot has tradition? Luck of waiting, their 30 years of wins and losses speaks for itself.

I may bleed maroon but I give credit where credit is due and Elliot is a tough bunch of kids...just goes to show you if you wait and coach long enough eventually you will get some decent kids.

I am still trying to figure you out. Are you a TRUE Tomcat or not? Do you still support the Tomcats or another school. It's my post? When I played you didnt buddy up with opponents off the court or off the field. Maybe times has changed, where kids from different schools horses around together, but during Ashland's great teams, other schools feared to play us, that my friend is what earned respect and thank goodness Biggs is bringing that back. Do you honestly think I want my Tomcats not to be feared? You have a lot to learn. I am glad you and your co-horts decided to seed the district last year, you want Ashland in your metal can so bad...guess what? We are coming and will win. Our kids are getting hard nosed and are beginning to understand what it means to wear the Ashland uniforms with a right kind of pride. Bonner will do a number on the region this year especially against marshmellow nosed players.

Buddy will prevail. It will be tougher than last night but tonight we will be hitting our shots. Should have beaten Boyd by 15. Tonight, I'll say the Tomcats by 7.

I like Russell, I live in Russell, as a matter of fact in the late 50's Russell Teams were the only ones to really challenge us along with Olive Hill. I just dont understand, nevermind...I feel you are baiting me, so I will keep my thoughts to the PM/ May I PM you?

Hot and Cold

You need to realize who you are conversing with young man. Our tradition is alive and growing as we demonstrated last night against our nemesis. Outside of Elliot (A Flash in the Pan, along with another Ashland City Team) We are the best team in the region with, whom I say without hesitation has one of the brightest up and coming coaches in Buddy Biggs. Biggs may not stay long at Ashland becuse he will make a great college coach one day. .

I would never knock a kid down. I was knocking the program itself. Please don't put words of your own in my posts. If you support Coach Dodd then that is great. I personally think he is just average like many AAU coaches. It is easier to coach college and AAU when you have the talents but real High School coaches spend their off time developing younger players not waiting until they have to. As for the Skaggs kid, I assume he is either Steve's son or some relation. He will probably be a dandy.
