I realize the scores aren't what everyone thinks they should be. I cant believe that people dont realize that this Ashland coaching staff has made a commitment to playing more kids and platooning when and if possible. Baker plays offense only and very little special teams and he isnt the only kid that could probably play both ways and provide a lift. I read that everyone thought Mueller was crazy at Highlands when he wanted to platoon. How people said it will never work. Looks like he was on to something. It will take a little time to get where the coaches want it to be. It may not work in Ashland who knows. Either way I compliment them on the effort to try and raise the bar for the school. I will not be discouraged when the score isnt a blowout. I will not call them underachievers and I will not criticize the coaches for their plan. I may not agree with every decision but I will support the team year in year out. I say let the haters hate and dare to be different.

Don't get me wrong I knew the defense would struggle with the platooning. But the offense should be clicking alot better. 14 points in almost 4 quarters against boyd is just unacceptable. I do think when it's all said and done though coach love will be successful as a head coach. This is still a learning experience for him as much as it is the new players. But the man can flat coach. The improvements the defense has made since the raceland and NCC games show that much.
