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.

Last season Jude had a lot more supporting staff! How is Ashlands pass D, because Cov Cath has a good passing game to go along with big O line and good RB. This will not allow Ashland to crowd the box or they will be picked apart by the pass.
