tough schedule maybe 5-5 and coould also be a little better.

Wishful thinking? Ashland returns allmost all their skill players and by far the most of them will be seniors and 3 year starters. QB is a four year starter, and should be even more accurate next year, hopefully.

Defensively 8 seniors return and at least 6 started last year for the whole year and the rest started some of the time. Returning juniors are no slouches either with one all area player and another starter.

You might be right tho. What I like about it is Johnson Central and Ironton play at Putnam next year, you gotta like Ashland's chances to win at least one of those two barring injuries. Rowan loses Cross this year too, not to say that they'll be weak but that's a big loss.

Things don't look that dismal to me, what are the five teams you see beating Ashland?
