[Friday Night]

Big win for Ashland tonight at Home vs. JC. I don't understand these teams that don't play for the old fashion 1 point extra point kick. Paintsville did the same thing tonight at home vs. Raceland and made 1 out of 5 2-point conversion winning 32-18. Johnson Central did the same thing and if they go for the kick extra point the game is tied 21-21 if they make the 3 extra points. Then when they drove down to 15 at end of game JC could have went for a game winning 30-32 yard FG. Whose to say that JC makes all 3 extra points and also game ending 30 yard FG but still could have went to OT if making the 3 extra points. I just don't understand these teams like JC and Paintsville that score 40 or more points per game and continue to go for 2-point conversions instead of extra point kick. I don't know maybe JC and Paintsville both have horrible kickers and the Head Coach feels more comfortable going for the 2-point conversions but it in the end it can hurt a team and especially a team that is undefeated at 8-0 and had no business losing this game tonight. That is not taking anything away from Ashland tonight because they did play a great game. I just feel teams should go for the old fashion extra point kick.

I watched a JV game a couple of weeks ago where the opposing team would not even punt the ball, when they “punt” refs would just back it up 30 yards like in JFL. Their coach said they don’t practice special teams. Wait a minute...what?? How can you not practice special teams. It’s a big part of the game.
And just so I’m clear, the team I’m talking about is neither Ashland nor JC.
