Lose at Highlands or home what is the difference? Shorter bus ride.

Much shorter bus ride and that's a big difference. Who wants to drive 3 hours to get beat?

What has happened is Ashland won a game handily that noone(myself included) thought they would win and the trolls took notice. Take it as a complement but don't waste your breath on arguing with them. Eventually someone from our area will beat them. I actually like ashland and JC right now over cov Cath unless the colonels get healthy. And I think JC could give ashland all they want. There district isn't superior just highlands and one of these days they will lose as well. And it will be to either JC or Ashland.
I had to check the KHSAA scoreboard to be sure. But, I assume you are referring to your big win ("handily") at home over a mediocre Ironton team. Honestly, I doubt anyone outside of your area noticed.
It does reveal a lot when you say you just might be able to beat CovCath as long as they are not healthy. That really says a lot.
If we at Fort Thomas are "trolls" we are surely "trolls" with lots of championship trophies. And, if we stump out toes sometime, CovCath will most likely take care of bringing the next trophy back to our area. It is much different to have an established tradition for recent excellence (academically as well as athletically) and quite another to pine for the tradition of the 1930s.

Leaping Lee appears to be much more of a realist than I suspected. Good for him.

The tough start continues for the Vikings. Ashland shouldn't have trouble putting up a lot of points in this one.

I never mentioned ashlands tradition. No one gave them a chance against ironton that is a fact. And the fact that cov Cath is the walking wounded right now is also true. Now if they get healthy and gel before playoff time that changes everything. I said right now with there injuries I would like ashland. And if they get healthy I would still say JC is the second best team in the region this year. They were very impressive against a good week coached Harlan county team.

That's because he's got so much of that BADCAT blood in him. You could almost swear it's the same guy!!!!

If Ashland beats Johnson Central, a real possibility since the game is at Ashland, it will lose to Covington Catholic in the playoffs. If Ashland loses to Johnson Central, it will lose big to Fort Thomas in the playoffs.
Some situations never change. They are repeated year after year. The only exception is that a third team from the north may beat Ashland on occasion and keep Ashland from playing either of the two perennial best in the region.
