Congrats Ashland!! Always good to see any Kentucky High School team beat any out of state team. Way to represent.

Good thing they have Baker. They'd be 0-4 without him.

Tigers just don't have the athletes they used to and apparently people stopped transferring in too

Baker is the difference maker and makes a pretty good Ashland team a contender, imo. But, if not for him, they dont beat Raceland. Brown managed around 50 or so yards on & or so carries that night and Dowdy had a long run for a TD, outside of that its the Q show.
Having said that, Baker is one of thise atheletes that, even in "big school football" can win you alot of games. But all you Ashland fans, keep in mind that he ran for over 200 yds against Highlands last year and Ashland still left the Birds nest with a pretty lopsided "L". If I am anyone watching film on Q and Co, Im loading the box and blitzing every gap until Ashland shows they can consistently throw the football. If I were the Tomcats, that is something I would work on from now until JC night bc obviously, you can always hand the ball to Baker and let him dig you out of a hole. South Warren and Johnson Central's defense has enough speed to atleast make Baker work. Ashland is in definite Title talk if you ask me though.
Idk if he is the best HS back I have ever seen, but I do know his spin move and ability to seemingly stop with an instant set of 500lb weights on his ankles and then take off again is something incredible to see. That short TD run against GW was something else. The kid is special, but Ashland better have an answer prepared when he isnt enough.
