If the Colonels have a very good rushing game, then they should have employed it against Rowan County in the first half. Both Ashland and Johnson Central put away RC early in the first half. I have been telling people all year that Ashland is much better than the credit most folks in NKY are giving them and the quality of their competition has also been much better than you seem to believe.

I know that Covington Catholic has improved since last season but if they mount the same kind of effort in Ashland next week in the first half as they did against Rowan County, they may find themselves too far behind to come back against the Tomcats.

Maybe CCH should have come out running the ball more instead of passing? Maybe Rowan is a better pass D than running D? But the thing is, CCH decided to pass in first half and did not have much success. They are a good, balanced offensive team with a good coaching staff. They made adjustments at half, and came out and easily proved they were the better team. Yes the game was 7-7 at the half, but that does not mean CCH was not clearly the better team.
