Never once did Ashland upset a Johnson Central team that had an edge in athletic talent.

Not entirely true:

Ashland 21
Johnson Central 18

You are correct, though, that Ashland was beaten soundly by Johnson Central during the time they were in the same class. For whatever reason, Ashland could never seem to find the monsters that Johnson Central could find on their lines. That was the entire difference in the rivalry. I guess they just grow them big down there in Johnson County. In any case, it would be nice if Johnson Central could establish a state-wide reputation by winning some championships rather than continuing to have their biggest accomplishment being that they managed to grow or find bigger line players than Ashland for a number of years.
