Congrats to the Eagles!! No doubt that JC is the real deal! They shouldn't have any trouble as I have said before on here until they get deep into the playoffs. Good game by the Tomcats, but they just aren't as good this year as JC.

Didn't see it being that big. Congrats JC.

I expected that sort of score from JC, but was surprised that Ashland couldn't get more offense going. I would think that when considering that Ashland has scored many points on teams such as Russell and Belfry, that anyone would have to admit that the JC defense is as real as the JC offense.

He always does! But if you try to stop him, then there are other weapons that they have. So then he gets freed up again. JC's offense is awesome!!

I agree, that did set the tone for the entire game. I wanted to see the kick off so that I could see how the Ashland D opened up. And it didn't. I knew then that it would be hard for the Tomcats to hang in there. They did pull out a few stops in the first half, but couldn't get any offense going at all. You have to give credit to the JC DEFENSE. They played a big role tonight as well.

I expected a blowout on JC's part

Old School

10-20-2006, 11:11 PM

JC played great on both sides of the ball. The atmosphere at that game was about the best it has ever been. JC did have 1 TD called back due to a block in the back penalty which was a good call IMO. Coach Matney and his staff had a great game plan laid out for Ashland tonight. I heard on the radio that Grimm had 288 yards rushing Does anyone have any other stats?

There is going to be a lot of crow buffets in Ashland tonight.:) I said that Ashland had better bring some other jerseys with them cause they would be awful dirty from being on their backs all night. Did anyone see Mahans and Thomas jerseys, so dirty on the back you could barely read them. Tomcat72, how does all that crow taste?:thumpsup:

JC played with tons of emotion tonight! They hit and hit and hit Ashland like never before! Ole #45 hit anything that was moving tonight as did the rest of the Golden Eagels D. I never thought the would game would turn out like it did. And for all thoughs JC fans.......After tonight, I guess JC still hasn't played a tough game all yr.

No, Ashland is loaded with talent, they are the best team JCHS has faced all yr.

I never felt like that Ashland was in the game any time throughout.
JC Dominated

Grimm had 207 yards in the first half 288 total
Ashland had 6 first downs
160 some total yards

JC played an amazing game and deserved the W. Ashland just couldn't stop the big play by JC. Both teams have trouble sustaining a long drive. Ashland mainly getting totally stopped, and JC getting a big play before they had to sustain one. The Ashland defense ran a risky gameplan and lost. They were either going to make the tackle at the line of scrimmage or give up 50 yards. Both teams had a few turnovers they need to control if there is a rematch. The officiating was very spotty for the 1st half, giving beneficial calls to each team, especially on spots. There was even once that an official singled first down for JC after a 4th down run before the Ashland crowd and sideline and erupted and they decided to measure. After the measurement, it was a turnover and first down Ashland.

The atmosphere was great and facilities were nice, but I didn't like the fact that there was a cloud of smoke above and on the field the entire game from the grill, but I'll admit, it looked like some great food.

The only real complaint about the game came from the PA and sound system. While Ashland was in the offensive huddle, music would play until they came up to the line of scrimmage, at which time the announcer would then start talking. Constant artificial noise being pumped in while Ashland was on offense. While JC was on offense, less than half of that type of artificial noise was used, and never was used while JC was in their huddle. The announcer would also be making calls and talking while the ball was being snapped, and in play while Ashland was on offense, but never while JC was.

Anyways, enough complaining. I hope Ashland and JC match up again in the playoffs. JC could and probably would come out with the W, but I believe it could be a much closer game now that Ashland has seen what they're up against, especially if they could limit the big plays.

I was happy to see much of the sportsmanship that I could see from the stands by both teams. May be the first game I've seen all season without a personal foul being called. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't recall one.

Im not taking anything away from Ashland, they are a quality team, but if JC hadn't turned the ball over 3 or 4 times and prevented stupid penalties (e.g. block in the back) the score couldv'e been worse but overall a good game from both sides of the ball for JC. Ashland just couldn't get it clicking on offense.

From what I saw last week against LC, I thought Ashland didnt have much of a offense. Matt Thomas shys away from contact and last night was pretty much nonexistent against the Eagles defense with just 18 yds on 11 carries. The passing game at times was somewhat successful but the O-line couldnt give Mahan time to find his recievers. McDavid was finished after than huge hit by Tommy Taylor and dropped alot of passes. You come out and hit the Tomcats and they dont want anymore.

OK2NV

10-21-2006, 03:17 PM

Ashland is a good football team their is no doubt about it. I was really impressed that JC ran the ball so well considering Ashland had all 11 guys 5 yards off the line. The Grim kid put on a show and man when he gets past the line backers you can put it on the board. One tough kid.

You come out and hit the Tomcats and they dont want anymore.I agree with you except for the part about Ashland's O-line. Mahan had way to much time. I think it was by design because Johnson and Tackett for the most part dropped back into that 6-12 yard range. Our defensive backs played extremley well last night.Some one said that Matney said in the pre-game show, one of his biggest concerns was Mahan running out of the pocket. It didn't look like JC was to scared of his arm, only sending four people to rush the QB. With Johnson and Tackett playing watch dogs on pass plays, quick slant across the middle could get someone KILLED.

I think mahan should have scrambled more because he picked up good yardage when he did but he probably didn't try because the mudd.

On a serious note I really didn't think Thomas would get up after Tacket hit him early in the 1st half. Thats one tough cat. Thomas is a player and when JCHS face's him again he will be ready that I am sure of.

EKY Sportster

10-21-2006, 11:43 PM

No doubt that Ashland has a very good team, but they just aren't on the same level as JC this year. For that matter, who has been?? I don't think that JC will have a close game until around the 3rd round of the playoffs if then (unless they suffer a key injury or just beat themselves). JC is a great team with both a great D and O. Grimm is beyond words. He is fast and tough. One thing I will point out is that JC's D deserves more recognition that it gets. With a great O, many people don't look too much to the D. But when you look at the points Ashland has scored against the opponents they have scored them against, you begin to see what JC's D can do.

Hats off to the Eagles and good luck. Don't forget to take it one game at a time and keep doing what you have been doing. It obviously works!!

Shawn Grimm has to be one of the best running backs to come out of this area in a long time. He's extremely tough to tackle. He's very fast and strong. Anyone know of any colleges talking to Shawn?

Shawn is just a junior. He's got the rest of this season and next to impress all the college scouts.

That's the scary part about it. JC may be even better next year....:yikes:

AshlandTcat06

10-22-2006, 12:32 AM

First off, I would like to personally congratulate the Johnson Central players on the victory. I knew they would come out on their homecoming and senior night full of energy, and they did just that. The Eagles wanted this win more than we did. Also I liked the great sportsmanship shown by both teams. These players have a great amount of respect for each other! :thumpsup:

Second, I will back up Tomcat68 on the PA and sound system. I didn't like hearing all the loud music and such playing when Ashland was in the huddle or about to run their offensive plays. That didn't go on when JC was about to run their plays. But, I will stop it at that, because (somehow) I don't think I even remember us getting more than one false start or offsides on offense, and the fact that JC played such an awesome game.

Third, I think Johnson Central is a top 10, top 5, maybe even a top 3 team in 3A. I haven't seen any of the others play so I can't judge which team goes where, but I honestly think that JC is at least a top 5 team.

Now as for the game, I'll start with the fact that Grimm looked impressive. He had around 300 yards, and I should also add that he is much improved from last year. Most of his yards in the game came from long runs. From what I remember, he had a 63, 75, and two 40+ yard runs in the game. I believe that 300 puts him at around 1700 yards, which is around what Ron Blume had last year. If he cracks 2,000 or more (with the way he's playing, I believe he will), that will be a feat.

I didn't pay too much attention to our defense the whole game, but I thought we played decent as a unit. The thing that REALLY hurt us was the fact that we allowed the long runs. Johnson Central played outstanding, but the one thing I noticed was that the Eagles didn't really get a consistent drive going on us. It seemed like they would either go 3 and out or get a long run.

Our offense looked terrible. I credit the JC defense for playing an outstanding game, but I also feel that in the first half our offensive line didn't block well. We played better in the second half and got a nice, clock-consuming drive going, but being down 21-0 already, it was too little, too late. I wonder even more about our passing game tonight. I believe we had 4-5 dropped passes, and what concerned me more was that we weren't able to get much time to throw the ball, despite the fact that a lot of the times we passed JC sent only four rushers. Matt Thomas has to learn that when he goes against a defense that played as well as JC did, he can't dance around like he did and expect to get yards. He has to hit the hole and get as many yards as he can, and I'm hoping he will take this game as a learning experience. Fields Davis and Josh Cordle didn't get a lot of carries, but I thought they hit the hole and ran the ball well.

That's about all I have to say about the game. As the score shows, we have some things we need to work on. Congrats again to Johnson Central and I wish you all the best of luck against Mason County. I hope we meet again in the 2nd round of the playoffs!

EKY Sportster

10-22-2006, 12:47 AM

I didn't have a favorite in this game. But, I don't believe the PA system had any effect on the game whatsoever! I thought that it was what I would expect from a home field advantage. If you want to complain about a PA system, talk about Prestonsburg's. They provide public announcements throughout the game. Very irritating and distracting (probably even for the home team). But these things you can expect when you play on the road.

10-22-2006, 12:49 AM

Very impressive!! Since no one seems to be able to stop him this year, it isn't likely to change next year either. The kid should get a full ride somewhere!

My goodness enough is enough about the awesome PA and music at the NEST! What some do not understand is that JCHS does this each and every home game. Ashland was no exception. The only thing new was the loud HORN! Listen, there is no better atmosphere (that I have seen) better than the atmosphere at JCHS on football friday night! How can the Tomcat fans get on here and be mad at JCHS for the same things they do at Putnum! They have fireworks, cannon, and a loud horn! If they had the music and quotes they would use them as well. Get over it! There is no one present at the nest friday, who can say that the atmosphere at the nest wasn't electric!

I do not think that Ashland believed that Central could hit as hard as some say. They came out aggressive, but after a few hits were more timid. The play that really comes to mind was a pass play where everyone was covered and the QB scrambled toward the Central sideline. I cannot remember if it was Tackett or Johnson that was closing in to make the tackle but the QB stepped out of bounds 7-8 yards before he got to the Central linebacker. Excellent decision young man. I have been watching high school football since 1973 and they are two of the best linebackers that I have seen play in this area.

Hats off to JC in this one. This appeared to me to be the same Ashland team that showed up in Prestonsburg several weeks back (that was supposed to be much more improved). Grimm played one heck of a game....again. The Eagle defense dominated from start to finish...again. I look for Region 3 to be coming to Paintsville in the 4th week of the playoffs to see who goes to the Pizza Box. As for the PA system, there were several times I about jumped out of my shoes from the sounds of that horn/Eagle...or whatever else it could be...lol. The announce is good, he shows enthusiasm from the home team...as comparing it to Pburg....well the Cats by far have the worst announcer in the area...but he's young and a student (I think just from the looks of him) so he will learn with time. Congrats Eagles on a job well done.

10-22-2006, 08:52 PM

I personally cannot complani about the PA cause we unplugged the speaker in our corner of the stands but no i dont think that gave Ashland any problems i think it was more of a anticipation of the hits and the upcoming play they just didnt ever seem to get relaxed or feel comfortable and that is all to do with the JC defense Not the PA Congratulations eagles see you in the regional final

10-22-2006, 11:39 PM

Jim Matney is earing that huge salary he gets, and rightfully so IMO.

Any team in EK that competes with Johnson Central is doing ok. I know it sucks for Ashland fans to realize there season is over come week 2 of the playoffs, but sometimes that is just the way it goes. JC is destined to take on the NK big boys of Highlands or CC. I will say this to JC. Take that smashmouth/ball control to Northern KY and make them stop the hardnosed mountain football. They probably will be up to the challenge, but the only way JC beat Highland/CC is to understand who they are, play intense football, and make them be tougher.

Ashland, get ready to pull out every trick in the book and do the best you can do. Come in with a good gameplan, commit to Thomas, and fight like ****!

Good job JC

I said earlier Kasey Clark could be Mr.Football and he still is a great back however now Shaun Grimm Gets my vote as the best Back i've seen this year he is quick determined and is more versatile than clark i would wonder what would happen if JC used him as a split receiver more often and just had him all over the field he would cause mass chaos for any defense this is a very good athlete and hope the best for him in the future:thumpsup:

I just wanted to say thank you for all the nice things you've said about Shawn Grim. He is amazing to watch, isn't he? He's an even better person than player.
I will pass along your compliments to him.

Who knows maybe we will be seeing you again in a few weeks.

I said earlier Kasey Clark could be Mr.Football and he still is a great back however now Shaun Grimm Gets my vote as the best Back i've seen this year he is quick determined and is more versatile than clark i would wonder what would happen if JC used him as a split receiver more often and just had him all over the field he would cause mass chaos for any defense this is a very good athlete and hope the best for him in the future:thumpsup:
grimm is good but if juan thomas can't win it I don't think he can either.

Or Arliss Beach for that matter. Grimm was just simply amazing. Ran extremely hard, and found the right seams to the endzone. Granted that was the only full game I've seen of Grimm as the feature back, even still, he's the best highschool running back I've seen since Arliss. Not too shabby to be in the talks with an NFL player.

I do Not think Grimm will win the award his named wasnt mentioned enough as a preseason canidate however could the Ashland Game and the playoffs be a foundation for his 2007 Campaign kinda like kasey clark in the state title game last year

Maybe you will know who won the award during Arliss's Senior Season

Grim is definately a great back, but Clark is all around better. Grim's having a great season for sure, but his line and blockers do not get enough credit. They are better than they've ever been!

Im going to agree with you if you are saying that this is the best this line has been all season. They have progressed nicely as unit throughout the season and dont get the credit they deserve. But if you are implying that this is the best line that JC has ever had then I will have to disagree. Back in 1999, JC's offensive and defensive lines were huge and extremely strong. The O-line consisted of 6'4" Chris Chandler at Center, 6' Jeremy Murray and 6' Bennett Rouse at the gaurds, and 6'6" Jessee Peck and 6'2" Adam Collins. On the defensive side you had 6' Derrick Sublett at Nose and Peck and 6'5" Paul Webb at the D-Tackle positions. IMO, that may have been the most talented group of players that JC ever had but never could play together as a team until the playoffs that year when they were defeated 63-55 in overtime by Madison Central while losing 3 starting offensive lineman in that game alone.
