I dont think you can gauge Ashland until weeks 3 or 4. For example, if you compare them to one of their most common early season oponents, Raceland, In the last 10 years, Ashland holds a 7-3 advantage over Raceland. If I am not mistaken, and someone correct me if I am wrong, they have only won the district 1 of those years. Their season always ends the same way and its generally the same ending for Johnson Central, either CC or FTH thumps them. I hope this year is different. If things are as they seem, Ashland should be a 3-4 TD favorite over Raceland. Regaurdless of the outcome Raceland needs to play against the speed Ashland has to help prepare them for Nov. With that said, win or lose to Raceland, win or lose to NCC, its a good game for all involved, but it wont have mch outcome on what happens by seasons end, excluding injuries.
