would you say their D is built on speed or size? And have you seen them go up against a top notch passing team or a balance Offense? Cov Cath has a lot of size and Highlands has speed and great passing game, so looking for how both teams would match up with Ashland.

I didn't see them play this season. All I know is that Ashland held JJ Jude under 80 yards rushing, something that neither Covington Catholic nor Highlands could do last season. I have been told that Ashland has very good team speed but the Tomcats must have some good size and strength to have contained both Belfry's and Johnson Central's running games this late in the season. Nobody will really know how Ashland stacks up to Highlands until they meet Covington Catholic. I don't think that the Colonels will be able to run on the Tomcats very well.
