Is this a game Thread? ...Who did JJ break the rushing record on? How many yards did he have playing hhs in the playoff?

None of my questions have anything to do with this game and neither does any of the above nonsense.

One thing that does matter, who is JC playing this week? Will it be much of the same as last week? I'm pretty sure there were more than enough teams up north that would have played them. Even across the river as well. REally a team from cA nA dA.

Ashland is young at least they are upping the schedule early on.

Back too it...
Good luck to the home team... Keep the W(in) Ky

Name one. Just one.

Johnson Central has shown in recent years that when it has a good team, it is willing to schedule accordingly. The Golden Eagles have played teams like Bell County, Knox Central, and Boyle County in early season games during years in which those schools fielded some of their best teams. Ashland has historically included much smaller Class A and AA on its schedule and has often lost those games.

As a fan of a large 4A school that scheduled only two schools larger than 2A in the non-district portion of its schedule, you may not be the best spokesman to criticize JC's schedule. One of those two schools, Sheldon Clark, made the cowardly decision to cancel its game with Johnson Central just prior to the season, which resulted in JC scheduling the nation's #1 home school team as a replacement. It is very possible that the Noblesville Lions will be as good or better than Sheldon Clark, which has not yet chickened out of its commitment to play Ashland.

It is good to see Ashland upgrade its early season schedule, but the Tomcats still struggled against a good Class A Raceland team. I don't think that Johnson Central's early season schedule will provide much comfort to Tomcat fans when Ashland meets JC late in the season to decide the district title.
