[Hoot Gibson]

Ashland 17-2 all time against Belfry. Let that sink in. A lot of posters on here putting the cart before the horse wondering where Belfry will play after they dismantle Ashland and keep telling yourself Ashland is small! Tomcat's 28-20!!!

That all time record will be no factor in the game. Paintsville has a huge all time edge over Johnson Central but they found their series record was no help once the Matney era arrived.

Ashland has a history of dodging strong Eastern Kentucky teams. The Tomcats deleted JC from their schedule and will face a below average Pirates team (by Belfry's recent very high standard). If Ashland can't get into the state semifinals this season, they may be in for another very long dry spell in their new class. Belfry has the edge in playoff experience, coaching, and they have home field advantage.

Go Bucs!
