Agreed. NCC owes Ashland nothing. Why would NCC ever be afraid of Ashland? Ashland hasn't accomplished anything in the last two plus decades and this year will be no different. Although putrid, the cancellation does somehow give Ashland something to crow about, I suppose. One who has accomplished so little needs to grasp at anything to crow. It is better, I suppose, than getting beat and making excuses.

One fact is certain. NCC doesn't need Ashland. Its goals are much loftier. Ashland, on the other hand, can wait for its annual game at home with little Class 1A Raceland. And maybe "Q", as well as "R", "S", "T", and "U", will also be fired up for the little Rams.

Remember,T-CATS. NCC owes your people nothing. Its goals are much more significant than rearranging its schedule to pacify a mediocre Class 4A team.

If you where in the same region as Highlands and Covington Catholic your success would be limited as well for NCC. I could make strong argument that NCC would not own any state titles in the last two decades in that kind of region. When a team refuses to play, then it is called a forfeit. Ashland deservers better, after all they did all they could to make this game happen on Saturday.
