Boy, old Harry got the juices flowing in a few of you.

First, let me say that the question about JC beating CovCath away from Paintsville was obviously a trick question. Fort Thomas always wins its district with CovCath second. Therefore, the number two team always goes on the road. With the way the brackets are set up, I doubt that JC, or Ashland for that matter, have played CovCath at Covington in the playoffs.

On the other hand, it is possible that Fort Thomas has played one of these two on the road for the regional championship. That could happen if Fort Thomas is playing against one of them who was also a district champion. And, of course, Fort Thomas wins.

As for the meth lab remark, I actually thought it was pretty much on target so no explanation is needed.

My Question Two was apparently misinterpreted by Bob Seger. I was actually asking if Ashland had ever beaten CovCath in the playoffs at any location other than Putnam Stadium. I should have been clearer and I doubt it has ever happened.

Johnson Central has developed a good football program. I usually root for them. I will certainly root for them a week from Friday. However, if JC fans really want others to pay much attention to them they need to win a region and move on. As for Ashland, they are still wrapped in their long ago past.

I was unaware that, in order to be knowledgeable and credible, one must praise, but not be a realist, in regard to JC and/or Ashland. I missed that rule of life somewhere along the way. I wish no harm to either of them. However, I don't believe they are on a par with CovCath in most years and certainly no where near Fort Thomas. But, in reality, only Trinity sits on the top shelf with the Bluebirds.

And, in answer to FBfan4life, I don't think the fans of these two teams can be stirred up too much more. In the end, this is, most likely, the "championship final" for both of them.

I may be mistaken, and I can't research it right now, but I think they did win Class 3A, Region 4 in 2006 when they defeated Rockcastle County. They lost to Cov Cath in the semifinals. JCHS was 13-1 that season.
