[football 105]

All true, football 105. But of what real benefit is the game to Ashland? I would not argue that it is good for Raceland financially and in preparing them for the playoffs. However, Ashland can't prepare to compete with the northern Kentuckly powers by playing Raceland or Fairview.

I'll add that the Rams have won more of those Ashland games than one would have expected. Good for them. Good program.

If we are competitive with them. It can't hurt. Plus, by them playing Ironton and the West Virginia team I believe George Washington high. One of the best teams in WV. They should be prepared. Plus Johnson Central and Belfry certainly can't hurt.
Plus I will say the next four or five years the tomcats might not want to play us so early in the season. They have already moved us from first game to about third game.
The tomcats are always going to have it rough as long as they have to compete against Highlands and others in the north. So glad we don't have to go through the Beechwoods anymore.
