what to expect.

**BlackcatAlum** · 07-09-2006, 07:50 PM

They're not good enough to win state but maybe there good enough to win Region ! Them and Johnson Central will be a Classic this year ! I'd say they'll lose maybe 4 or 5 games !

t-cat50 · 07-09-2006, 08:33 PM

we comeback to p-burg this year

**BlackcatAlum** · 07-09-2006, 09:44 PM

Yep and where looking for some pay back !

**BelfryJustice** · 07-10-2006, 01:43 AM

Ashland will be fine. They have a very good schedule that may cause a few problems for them.

RayRay · 07-11-2006, 12:10 PM

I don't see 4 or 5 losses on the schedule.

t-cat50 · 07-11-2006, 12:42 PM

:coach: practice starts monday.

BurntTires · 07-11-2006, 06:02 PM

Ashland will have a solid team this season.

**Old School** · 07-11-2006, 07:42 PM

I think Ashland will field another excellent team and will be the favorites to win the district they always seem to have talented players.

**BelfryPride** · 07-11-2006, 08:00 PM

An old rivalry will be renewed when Belfry and the Pond Creek Nation invade Putnam Stadium this fall.....

**Old School** · 07-11-2006, 09:35 PM

The Belfry/Ashland game should be a dandy. What's the date of the game?

t-cat50 · 07-11-2006, 10:25 PM

It's going to be a great game. it's aug.25th if I'am not mistaken.

RayRay · 07-15-2006, 01:49 PM

Should be the game of the year.

t-cat50 · 07-15-2006, 02:41 PM

we have some position changes that include Matt Thomas playing monster. Andrew Dillon playing DT. Michael Walters Playing OT. Andrew Dillon moved to gaurd.

t-cat50 · 07-16-2006, 08:07 PM

we have a new o-line coach. not sure of his first name but his last name is Hale. he was the center on the 1990 state o-line.

t-cat50 · 07-21-2006, 04:20 PM

the team is coming together good after a week in practice.

t-cat50 · 08-04-2006, 08:24 PM

just got back from camp. the team is pulling together great. Drew is playing Qb.

tomcatnation · 08-04-2006, 09:58 PM

I expect and I also know that the tomcats are gonna have alot of sr's this year like a yr before. I expect the running game to be a factor this year. As well as the pass but lets take it one game at a time.

tomcatnation · 08-04-2006, 09:59 PM

And my boy drew is qb this year can we say mini vick he can scramble which was a disadvantage for us last year.

t-cat50 · 08-05-2006, 11:00 PM

he looked a little jumpy in the pocket tonight in the scrimmage but cambell co was a really good team.

t-cat50 · 08-06-2006, 06:19 PM

we got a new Qb from ironton. he's a sophmore. and a kid from russell

tomcatnation · 08-06-2006, 07:10 PM

state team??????????? guess we have to find out.

t-cat50 · 08-07-2006, 08:01 PM

another kid from Ironton came today. looks like a Lb.

**Tomcat68** · 08-13-2006, 02:11 AM

Ashland is looking very vulnerable early this season. They've scrimmaged a solid Cambell Co team and a tradition driven Ironton team. Both games seem to have been a 28-14 range loss if they were played during the regular season. This team has great potential but still has a lot of room to grow to capture that potential.

I look for Ashland to lose to the eventual 2A state champs, whether it be Russell or Belfry. I also look for Ashland to lose their first district matchup in 3 seasons and allowing the district championship slide to Johnson Central at the Eagle's Nest this season. I see two struggles with Portsmouth West and Prestonsburg on the road as well as both teams will be looking for some serious revenge after last season's games left a bittersweet taste in their mouths.

As for a prediction as of tonight, I see Ashland finishing either 8-4 or 7-5 with losses to Russell, Belfry, P West or Prestonsburg, and Johnson Central.

I dont think that Ashland is going to be hardly that bad but i guess we'll see. Season starts Friday and i cant wait.

I dont see a record this bad either. P West and Prestonsburg were both games that the Starters were out after half time. Unless huge changes were made in these clubs I dont see them being loses for the Tomcats. Everyone plays their top game for the Cats, but I really dont know why people are saying there that bad. Two scrimmages against two very good football teams and both games were close. If I remember right neither scrimmage from last year were real pretty. Ashland will be Ashland, and although they may not be the District favorite, I believe in the end they will be right there fighting for it.

tomcatnation · 08-14-2006, 03:14 PM

true true but they did loose alot to graduation so this well be a test as well.

The reason the thought for a loss to either P West or Prestonsburg in my mind isn't based off solely the fact of how Ashland has scrimmaged so far or because I think we're not as good as last year or the other team's are that improved.

My reasons for thinking that we may drop one of those two games is for a combination of reasons.
1. Those are the first 2 games this season Ashland will be playing on the road (including scrimmages)
2. Both of those teams are looking for serious respect after last years' contests
3. I worry about us being emotional and physically drained after playing the season opener against a respected Raceland team, rival and defending 2A state champ Russell, and 03 and 04 2A state champs Belfry

I could just very easily see Ashland get snakebit during one of those road games.
