As for Ashland, the loss of Junior Jones hurt them badly on their defensive line last night. They really need to get him and Isaac Caines back before their key district games against Greenup and Johnson Central in October.

Another thing that possibly hurt the Tomcats was the way they cruised by Harlan County last week. Raceland reminded them really quick what physical football is like. Ashland played the 2nd half with more emotion, but they looked like they were expecting the Rams to roll over because of the A on their helmets in the 1st half.
