[Harry Rex Vonner]

I think it is admirable that some of you Ashland supporters are backing your team. However, the little pointed digs, less than subtle hints, and obnoxious innuendos are quickly turning into blowing smoke. Such an approach is exactly what has given Ashland a negative, somewhat amusing reputation around the Commonwealth. Your posts are ignorant at best and one would hope that there is enough "smarts" somewhere down in your area to caution you.

FTH has earned its title as one of the two great tradition laden football programs in Commonwealth high school football. The other, of course, is Louisville Trinity. Beechwood has done well. So have Boyle County, Louisville St. Xavier, Mayfield, and a few others. That certainly does not include Ashland in any remote way.

So, to you Ashland partisans, let me recommend that you accomplish something before you brag. You were and are the second best team in a weak district. Nothing more.

Loyalty is fine. Realism is better.
