If Ashland drops Lawrence County, as it should, why would they even consider adding Fairview? Ashland needs a tougher schedule- not a weaker schedule. Fairview adds nothing. Fairview is fine as a small school with no realistic statewide aspirations. Ashland needs more than that if it wants to compete with the better schools in its region.

I don't think adding fairview would be the right move at all. But they would provide better competition than Lawrence co. It's like in your neck of the woods where beechwood is a better program than Dixie heights. Bigger program doesn't always mean better team.
