Tomcats7

Mahan and Thomas had another outstanding night, congrats to Drew McDavid.

AND THE WINNER IS.......Dickie Martin

I could be wrong, but I believe the Cats pick Ironton back up next year.

True...:thumb:

Ashland-35 Prestonsburg-14 :ylsuper:

Darrell Mahan....Thats all i got to say.

Great Win For The Tomcats!!

Darrell Mahan was a big factor in this game, If Ashland would of started Darrell insted of Drew Mcdavid in the Raceland game I believe Ashland would be 2-0.

Ashland-27

Russell-21

First, How is the kid that got hurt last week?

 

Now, if Ashland doesn't make adjustments and improvements they very well could be 2-3 or 1-4 after Prestonburg. But with that tough schedule that should get them ready for another District title run.

3 - 2

Josh Alber- Ashland

Drew Mcdavid for Ashland, when he is playing wide out he can really bring the ball in and produce some numbers.

Why even compare the two?

Wow its getting really near.....

Coach Love is a great coach - the boys really respond to him. If he wants the job, I hope that he gets it. However, this would be a huge loss to Ashland. Tony is our defensive coordinator, strength coach, and also coaches our wrestling program.

If he does get the job i know he will lose alot of respect from the Ashland community.

:laugh: I can understand your wishes graybeard and I hope that the Tomcats go 14 and 1, win the state 3A championship losing only their season opener :thumb:

Wow you are really funny!:laugh:

He is listed #1 only because his name is first alphabetically. Green is still their #1.

Thanks for the update!!

Isn't Beach currently with the Packers right now?

Yes Beach is curently in the active roster. He is actually #1 in the Depth chart.

If Beach is so good then why dont with him and David Jones rule the d1 level of college play. Look at the numbers the three put up in High school. If Blume had the size of Arliss and David then there would not ever be a contest .So with Blume being A whole lot smaller I think that he is Better than Beach.

I stirred up a "hornets nest":laugh: last year when I critiqued Blumes performance in the Ashland game.

 

Its so hard to differentiate; best HS back, potential for college, explosiveness, catching the ball, inside/outside, style of offense, # of carries, # of years starting, etc.

 

Personally I like a more physical back so I would lean to Beach.

My ONLY 1 game opinion of Blume was that he reminded me of a track man in pads.

By every account he is a really hard working, first class young man. I even heard coach Hart make some very nice post-game personal compliments of Blume - beyond just his performance on the field.

 

Hope he gets the opportunity to play college - but there IS more to life than football :thumb:

I know that Matt Tomas and Luke Bonner do their own speed and agility workout. Drew McDavid his little bro Daniel, Blake McLeod, and Fields Davis also do an agility workout with Rodney Clark with jumpsoles.

Recently Ashland has maxed out again. Any one have any results? Ive heard their are big numbers being put up by freshman an upperclassmen too.

Personally I feel Blume was the best RB that I have seen in Eastern Ky in the past 10 yrs. But I only saw him play in 2 games.

 

I also remember everyone laughing at the fact of Arliss Beach getting a chance to play DI also. He had a great DI career barring injuries and will now have a chance with the Green Bay Packers.

 

In my eyes from what I saw, Blume was better than Beach, but his size might have hurt him.

Plus, just think what might have happen to Blume, if given the same chance as Beach....Sometimes all it takes is a Chance!

I hope that was a joke? Blume will never be as good a Beach.

Im going to say that a BIG reason that there is a low number of students coming out, is the coaching staff, ive heard Coach Sammons wasnt the coach everyone expected them too see in GC. IMO, the job should have went to Coach Krebs, i think they would have made a different.IMO
