Very, very even matchup and hard hitting game. Both offenses had more success than the scoreboard would indicate as each team turns it over twice with most of those coming in the other team's zones. Both defenses come up with big 4th Down holds. Pirates got the ball with around 4:00 to go and wouldn't give it up riding Willis down the middle.

Game looked like a throwback to the 70's. Ashland's D wouldn't allow anything outside to the Pirates, Belfry stymies the Tomcat rushing game save two plays.
