Johnson Central 67 - Ashland 33

[GOREDDEVILS]

Final

[Jeepman]

Tough season for the Tomcats. It's refreshing to know that the bleeding is over.

[MR.PERFECT]

Montgomery really did well holding JC to 28 points.

[Midee1]

I hear that Dicky Martin called Matney a jerk over the radio for running up the score.

Kind of makes you wish that Matney would have put up 100 on them. If Dickie had any sense at all , the idiot might realize that half of Ashland's retaliatory problems could be traced directly back to his own big mouth. Kudos to Coach Matney.

In other words: Pot meet kettle.

[russelldevils54]

congrats jc

[Redneck]

Congrats JC. The real test is next week, we'll getta see what you and Belfry are really made of.

[Pupaw]

Wow, can't say that I'm surprised at this score. Both teams seemed to have good nights on the offensive side of the ball. Shawn Grim had 361 yds on the ground, and 6 TD's. Richardson had around 110 if I remember correctly. Congrats to JC on the win.

That's prolly why Dicky Martin is so ****ed. Playoffs two weeks away, gotta go to Belfry next week for the finale, why would you leave your star player in that long with that big of a lead. Was he just tryin to makin up for Grimms low stats last week???

[Pupaw]

I heard on the radio show after the game about a controversy. What exactly happened there?

Don't really know Pup. I was in Virginia all day and decided not to go to any games tonight, didn't even listen to any, stayed here and watched Friday Night Lights (the TV show).

[Pupaw]

You really missed out on the Paintsville game though. Great atmosphere. Can't believe you couldn't make it.

Ah, long night lastnight, long day today, just didn't feel up to drivin back up that way after bein on the road for 11 hours. I won't be attendin any games next week either. Gotta go see my boy Tim Wilson at the MAC.

[Pupaw]

Understandable.

[Ring'Em Up]

I heard on the radio show after the game about a controversy. What exactly happened there?
Its not sumthin that happened in the game tonite. I heard BJ and Kevin talkin bout it for a sec on their show, not sure what they mentioned, tho. Its nuthin major, jus a small off-the-field issue. Dont worry, tho, i sure some other people will entertain us with anything they can come up with about it on here soon enuff. :)
By the way, Redneck, spell MAC backwards, and thats where ya should be next week.

[Sarrr]

Either way, we'll have our work cut out for us next week. I can't wait to see us matched up against them!

[OffTheHook]

Well, you just started it by sayin what you just said.

I know it man, but how many chances do ya get to see Tim Wilson and Bob Zany here in EKY. To be honest, I bought the tickets thinkin that it was gonna be the first week of the playoffs and I really wouldn't miss anything special.

[OK2NV]

This was a great game! Ashland played like a 7-2 team. Thomas was impressive but his stats were over shadowed by Grim. Grim looked as good as ever and hopefully this is a sign of things to come in the next few weeks. JC could make another run if they can get that defense together.

[red_devils_rule]

Looks like JC ran thescore up to me?keeping grim in teh whole game, thats crazy but thats me

[Pirates~R~Us]

Well, you just started it by sayin what you just said.

it was on the radio during the game...

[OffTheHook]

I didn't listen to the game. So I don't know.

[BurntTires]

Congrats Johnson Central

[PLAYBOY5]

VERY, VERY, VERY shocked at this score. J.C. gave up 33 to Ashland, if they play this way next week, BELFRY WILL Lay one on them! And yes, you heard it here! Sure the Eagles won by 34, but giving up 33 isnt going to get you a win if you play that way next week at the CAM and I am sure any Golden Eagles fan will agree!! Anyways, as I always preach......A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN! Congrats J.C.!

[kyrifle]

Central gives up 33 points to Ashland. Their defense dosen't seem to be up to par right now. This could be an indication of what is to come with Belfry and Woodford Co. Playing Belfry in the last game of the season will be tough. Both teams might be a little banged up going into the playoff's.
Good luck to both teams. Should be a really good match up. Hope both teams come out of it without injuries.

[FOX SPORTS]

Did Grimm really play the entire game???

That is true, but look at what the defense did to Louisville Central and Wheelersburg. That was pretty impessive on the other end of the spectrum as well.

[Mr.Kimball]

Just as Matt Thomas and everyone else for Ashland played the entire game.

I find it odd that nobody has even mentioned that Ashland tried to score a touchdown with a couple of seconds left on the clock by Matt Thomas. This is the same type of mentality that Bryan Station had when they played earlier in the year. If you dont want someone to rub it in, then reciprocate by putting in your own subs when the game is technically over. I will give the coach from Bryan Staion credit though. He admitted he got what was coming to him.

[TidesHoss32]

Congrats JC...Im getting ready for next week...should be a fun week on BGR..

[Benchwarmer]

Congrats to Jc. Ashland has been known to run ths score up themselves.

[Pirates~R~Us]

I didn't listen to the game. So I don't know.

I was just letting you, well everybody know...sarrr didnt start a rumor. It was on the radio. Hold on I'll pm you.

[Pirates~R~Us]

lol your pm just popped up.

[Redneck]

PM me too then, I wanna hear this...

[PLAYBOY5]

Would love to get a pm knowing all about it as well if someone would..Thanks!

[Pirates~R~Us]

I don't want to start any rumors thats why Im not posting...but it was on the radio.

Are you really serious? What did Ashland and Matt Thomas have to lose? I mean it was the last game of his career and the last game of the season for Ashland. There is no book of understood coaching laws, but I think in this situation and in Bryan Station's defense that they would keep their starters in to keep it respectable.

Why the defensive reply??? I was just asking because I had heard he did, scoring his last TD with the game already decided.

I only ask because Central has aspirations of going deep into the playoffs.
Why risk injury to your star running back with the game already in the books???

What would happen to JC playoff hopes if Grimm had gotten injured trying to get meaningless yardage late in the game???

BTW...I didn't bring up Ashland because how the other team responds has nothing to do with it, IMO

[OffTheHook]

I sent ya one Redneck

[Ring'Em Up]

:please:

Well let me in on what they're saying as well. I got a break between horse races, I need some entertainment.

[Panther Thunder]

Well seeing as it was the last game for Ashland and the last game of the senior's careers, why not let them get every second they can out of it? But by the time the day is over, everyone will know what the big contoversy is about so I don't see why not just telling everyone lol.

[Sarrr]

Because apparently said rumor's source is the radio guy from Ashland that everyone loves and adores so much. He must be the owner, because with as much bad rep as someone like that has brought to the Ashland program, I think I would have fired him.

I didn't know this when I made my original post. Sorry.

Anyway... See y'all at CAM next week

[BHS78]

Congrats JC

[eastkyhunter]

i dont see why ashland was a 2-8 ball team this year...maybe the thoughts of playing johnson central boosted them or something because they didnt play like a team that was struggling. I am a johnson central fan all the way and i give ashland a lot credit on offense. At times in the game they could march the football w/ ease...matt thomas ran the ball well. I guess there downfall was on defense, wasnt too hard for JC to get into the endzone. J K was on the money with his passes, I was impressed!

[Mr.Kimball]

There is no book of understood coaching laws, but I think in this situation and in Bryan Station's defense that they would keep their starters in to keep it respectable.
Matney quoted after the Bryan Station game that he tried to put his younger kids in the game and they were just over whelmed by the much bigger and stronger kids of Bryan Station and were getting hurt so he had no option but to reinsert the starters. Bryan Station's coach in turn quoted in the Lex. Herald that it was his fault that the score ended up being a blow out.

As far as the Ashland game, IDK what the philosopy was, but when you have morons like Dickie Martin running their mouths on and off the air, you can't help but think that a message was being sent. There has been some very bad blood between Ashland and JC since the infamous missed FG deal and I would not be surprised that the spanking is just another item of continuation in the series. Lets just face it, Ashland hates JC and JC hates Ashland.

Didn't mean to be defensive. IDK what the reason was, other than the pride issue that goes with the game. You just have to understand the history of Matney vs. Ashland, I guess. The bad blood does not begin with his tenure at JC. It goes all the way back to his days at Sheldon Clark. Most of you all don't know Dickie Martin, other than to hear him on the radio. I personally do know him and he is one of the most obnoxious individuals God ever put on this earth. All I can say is I can understand where anyone would be coming from in wanting to shut him up and the troops he rallies up behind him. Just my opinion.

[cooter]

Dickie Martin is up front and honest with his opinion. He speaks his mind on and off the air. No different than any of us speaking our minds on this message board. At least you know where he stands!!! Mr. Kimball, I've seen you come on here and blast Starns all last season. What's the difference in you speaking your mind on here and Dickie doing it on the radio???

I dont mean to sound rude, but it is little concern to me what you think of my position on either party. I have my reasons.

Please forgive my bluntness, as I have never had any issues with you previously. As I said, I have my reasons.

As you said about Dickie, at least I am honest and you know where I stand. I am certainly not a honey dripper.

[Elwayfan]

Why does everyone get so bent out of shape when a team wins by 40 or more? It's up to the other team to stop you. This late in the season is when a coach needs to be sure his team is doing what needs to be done to be ready for the playoffs. Coach Matney was probabely working on his teams offense and treating it like a practice. If your star gets injured he gets injured, but he still needs to work on things just like everyone else.

[BlueOval97]

Just as i expected. Now its time for the Tomcats to lick there wounds and prepare for a more successful season next year.

Please, can we stay on topic and discuss the Ashland/Johnson Central "game" and not the opinions of the announcers of the game from the radio. It's bad enough that professional radio people feel the need to express their arrogance over the airwaves, but myself, along with others on this forum are sick and tired of "know it all members" expressing theirs. Please, let your opinion be heard, but let's cut the rudeness and arrogance and get along.

[Redneck]

Personally, I think Matney was just tryin to get some players' stats up from the pervious week.

[red_devils_rule]

i don't care if you are playing the kentucky school of the Blind, You don't run up the score on any team when you know that you have them beat,you just don't do it,You take your starts out and be done with it,

[Elwayfan]

Again, I think it depends on the time of year as to what you are trying to accomplish. Some teams will contend for a state title and need to be in top form at the end of the regular season.
I also think that weaker teams need to control the ball more when they know they are outmatched. Just an opinion.

[Codeman]

Congrats JC!

[Blackcat Flash]

That is the pot calling the kettle black. Two years ago, Ashland ran the score up on P'burg so high that it was a disgrace for the Tomcats. Not to mention the poor sportsmanship that the team, fans & coach displayed. I don't think anyone for Ashland should speak of anyone in that way just because they got what they deserved.

[Blackcat Flash]

I hear that Dicky Martin called Matney a jerk over the radio for running up the score.

Ashland ran the score up on P'burg a couple of years ago, so that would be the pot calling the kettle black. I witnessed the poorest sportsmanship in Ashland that I have ever seen at any ball game. Remarks like this, when it is done by the one making the remark, just extends the sportsmanship that I have grown to expect from the Tomcats.

[Tomcat68]

First off, I listened to the game on the radio and wouldn't say in the least bit that JC ran up the score. It's a good rivalry and both teams kept in their starters. 34 points is nowhere close to running up the score.

In reference to P-burg, I wouldn't refer to that as running up the score either. The final was 55-9. The Ashland starters played the entire first half, but didn't take one snap in the 2nd half at all. For a team to be running up the score in my mind, you have to keep in your starters and keep putting a lot of points on the board AFTER you've reached the differential to start a continuous clock which happened in neither of these cases.
