I see no way Ashland can ever stop Johnson Central. Ashland is simply too small and weak on the defensive line and at the linebacker positions. The Ashland offense needs to score every time they have the ball and that won't happen because the Ashland offensive line is small and weak as well and will have Ratliff running for his life.
Basically, Ashland matches up at all the skill positions. You could swap Ratliff, Hester, Pittman, and Brandt with Preece, Johnson, and Jackson and it would make no difference. The difference here is on the lines. It's Johnson Central's men against Ashland's boys. Same old story every time these teams have played for the past decade.
Credit what you will. I've heard that Johnson Central's wrestling program is better, that their weight program is better, that their linemen come from other schools, that they live rougher lives that make them tougher, or maybe they just come from better DNA down in the mountains. Whatever the case, though, the bigger, badder, stronger, and better lines will be the tale of the series between these two teams as it comes to a close.
Bob Seger will be hard to deal with on here for the next week, though.

I think Ashland will make some adjustments from the first game and slow down our run game a little more than last time. But as always the big key for a JC offense is can we hold on to the football. If you have a couple of turnovers deep in your territory or deep in their territory it totally changes the game. If we can have one fumble or less and limit the penalties it should be a two score win for Jc.

Sorry....but JCâs skilled personnel outmans the kitty Kats. JC definitely has the advantage on front lines. Câmon, tomcats fans were talking about putting 60+ on Harrison. Well.....that didnât happen.
JC, IMO will control this game from 2nd qtr on.

Based on the intelligence that he shows on here , I would say he gave $10 for the shirts and is selling them for $5.

JC moves along easily on their road to 2nd state title. 49-14

You mean to tell me that you have the best ASH-land team in the last 50 years, and all you have is a chance? Didn't you hear the news, "The ship has been righted" ?
You hearing this blasphemy O' Prideful One?

More often than not, in this series if one game has been lopsided the other has been an absolute war.

This is the best I cam come up with right now "97.. This is a secret restoration photo of the actual Tomcat ship that was intercepted after the official Tomcat carrier pigeon was captured after it flew into one of beams of the new under construction Dickey Dome and knocked it's self unconscious while on flight to the ASH-land Daily.

Of course, no renovation project is successful without a qualified project manager. I think it only fitting to give a great big Tomcat kudos to legendary ASH-land Tomcat great, NotsoBADCAT, who is ramrodding the enormous effort to right the Tomcat ship....I think it also worth mentioning that NotsoBADCAT was a freshman on the last ASH-land State Championship team in 1921...Once a Tomcat, always a Tomcat.

After receiving literally thousands of comments and messages from fellow BGRers that mentioned that there is an uncanny resemblance between the Paul G. Blazer mascot and the legendary NotsoBADCAT, I decided to do a little research...After contacting ASH-lands notoriously famous Athletic Director, Mark Swift, he has indeed confirmed that in 1936 there was a unanimous decision to model our mascot after the one single individual that has defined ASH-land athletics more than other individual in our schools history. "After a thoroughly search and examination of our distinguished alumni of cheaters, er I mean athletic warriors, we all came to the conclusion that there is no single individual that represents the true definition of what Tomcats athletics are all about more than NotsoBADCAT". Swift added, "We also wanted to find an agency that could recreate the image of our distinguished selectee, and we would spare no expense in finding that agency that could do our boy justice. We sent our board committee to scour this whole country to find that one single entity, and after months of careful discrimination we discovered that the perfect organization lied right under our feet this whole time. It was unanimously determined that there was no one more qualified than Rose Hill Elementary's second period kindergarten art class to design our image.. We are pleased with their rendition and it has received the highest accolades from our Alumni Association. We even received the "ASH-land Optimist Club's Seal of Approval"....In closing Swift commented, " This Friday we embark on a new journey in our quest to bring back that State Championship trophy to ASH-land as we travel south to dismantle that "soft" bunch of Eagles in Plantsville, or whatever the name of that place is".
After thinking about it for a minute, hey, could Mark Swift actually be that rumored illegitimate son of NotsoBADCAT? Could (gasp) Tomcat Pride really be that guy? Shew, mindboggling isn't it? But that's all the subject for another story.
So, there it is fellow BGRers, the real story of how the ASH-land Tomcat's mascot came to be and the inspiration behind it. I also want to thank Sports Illustrated for their assistance in researching this phenomenal revelation.
