Seriously ?!?...you credit Johnson Central's rise to a single Ashland game-winning field goal ??


:please:



I believe I'm more apt to credit Jim Matney for Central dominating its district over the past years. Heck, I'd be more inclined to credit Central's rise to getting fed up with its poor history against the Paintsville Tigers (if forced to credit another school for Johnson Central's improvement).


:Thumbs:

actually it was missed Johnson central field goal to tie the game on the final play if I remember it right Ashland led 13-3 with about 5 minutes left and had held blume to about 30 yards rushing. Then the last five minutes he had two big runs one a long td and the other to set up the field goal attempt. And this I can speak on personal facts before the game coach matney had sent the officials into the Ashland locker room saying Ashland was using illegal spikes on the cleats. Also the amount of rain had ruined the field and the rumor was started the AFD watered down the field all week. The hype before the game and intensity of it as well the belief that Ashland somehow cheated created a determination and anger that I saw in the jc players and coaches years later. So yes I do believe that game played a huge role.
