Ashland is a 5-A powerhouse school with a great past. Russell is a 2-A playing up in 3-A this year. Ashland by all accounts should beat Russell most of the time. A 5-A school like Ashland should not even be talking about beating a 2-A school. Thats nothing to be proud of. Beat Ironton then Ashland will have accomplished something.

You are right although Ashland did beat Russell in every aspect of the game last year as they should.

That is so freaking funny! Guess you guys have come full circle, few years ago you never heard talk about class size between Ashland an Russell? When it was a competitive game most every year, usually decided by less than 2 scores by either side! 2 years was the most won in a row by either team for 20yrs. I always looked forward to that game because of the competitiveness. But now seems like everybody's given up fans an players talking about playing up to bigger school ASHLAND! (even looked like it these past three yrs!). Here is a tissue for those big ole alligator tears!! BTW we are 4A. U r 3

When your down fans by nature will use any excuse they can to justify the losses. Russell's been down a few years. Ashland has been playing good ball. But to call them a powerhouse is a streach. Our little 1A school has beaten Russell 2 of the 3 years we have played. We have won the last two in a row.This 1A school a few years back also beat the mighty Tomcats three years in a row. Shouldn't Russell beat us most of the time. Guess I don't look at it the same as Jeepman. Anytime our team steps on the field we expect to win. Doesn't matter the class. Russell is a better team this year and the devils should give the cats a better fight. But lose the excuses. If the devils were winning 50% of the games the 2/3A vs 4/5 A wouldn't be in this thread. In time Russell will get wins vs. Ashland. Just not now. I just hope we can stay on the field with both teams this year! When we get beat by the cats or devils I don't try and look at it as we should lose every time because they are so much bigger. I just assume they were just a little better that year. Or just lucky. I love playing both schools because of just the chance of beating two of the better schools in our area. Good luck to the devils and cats this year.
