From Ashland, just in case people forgot...

Tylor Broughton, Ashland - Morehead State Jay Layne, Ashland - UPike Haven't seen these yet.

Went back to Spring Valley. He's been having some issues. Hopefully, he will take care of who he needs to take care of.

Brown leaving hurts a lot. Replacing the entire o line and d line hurts a lot. Losing a massive amount of talent to college and graduation hurts a lot. I believe Ashland will take their lumps this season until they start to gel and buy in to what the coaches are selling. QB situation will definitely be a big question. I've heard already from reliably sources, stating that Dowdy will be at receiver, and Ratliff will be calling the plays. I wonder if there will be a qb battle at all or is it already settled?

We just need to get over the Boyd Co hump.

I truly was skeptical about this game. After the AIT, I thought (unfortunately) that we would probably lose by 20+, as well, after last night's debacle. I'm so glad my Tomcats pulled this out. The first half was horrible. We tried to play fast with them and Elliot started pulling away. Elliot went on an 11-2 run in the 2nd qtr. We slowed it down in the 2nd half and started clawing our way back. Tremendous win for the CATS! Congrats. Chase was money from the line when it counted. Sophomore had ice in his veins.

Based on record, common opponents, and watching both teams a number of times. I think Ashland has a better supporting cast. I know Anderson does the majority scoring, just think Ashland has the edge. JMO. Again, I feel Boyd will win, I just don't want them to. Prove me wrong, Ashland.

IMO Ashland should win. But as much as I hate to say it, I think Boyd will end up pulling it out. For some reason, Ashland doesn't play well against Boyd, it may be a head thing. Not taking away from Boyd's defense, I just think it a mental thing.

Thoughts/Predictions? 1st place seed up for grabs in this one.

Congrats to the young man. Great accomplishment, and best of luck.

Actually, it's not creepy at all. Isn't it all about the kids anyway? Why is it wrong to help someone if you know the ins and outs of getting kids seen at the next level? Keep it up, uk#1fan.

How could the middle school athletic director be in charge of high school operations?

I was told tonight that some of the names on the list were mentioned by mistake, they weren't changing.

I wasn't necessarily talking about being in the same district. Just stating that they would have to go through them in the playoffs.

With all due respect, there is a big difference from middle school and high school football. Has no weight in this discussion. Anyone who thinks so is foolish.

Not sure what this is referring to.

Understood, but I wouldn't say that it is "bad news" for Ashland, only the drive. I will say that for us to compete, we need to restructure our defense and have the ability to spread the ball around more on offence. Just because it's on the agenda, does it mean that it's a done deal?

Interesting, Ashland would have to compete with Belfry in 3A instead of Johnson Central, which would move from 4A to 5A

Score, how's Baker and Broughton doing?

That's great, thanks.

Honest questions: How do you come up with the QBR? I've looked on the internet, can't make heads nor tells of it... Thanks.

I love to see local boys representing well. Keep it up.

Great game by the Cats. Defense was great. Clark co had a couple guys that were monsters. Our guys did a great job on their playmakers. I knew we were shooting free throws well, but dicky said we were perfect from the line. Something like 14/14.

Saw this on Facebook, what happened?

Should it have been that close? I didn't think Lewis was that good...
