C'mon, sstack, you can do better than that. Look at Ashland's schedule. Baker had more rushing yardage against Highlands than any team that he played against all season with the exception of Sheldon Clark.

Johnson Central, Greenup Co., and Ironton gave up 188 yards to Baker combined. Baker ran for 239 yards against Highlands in a single game.

Baker is a big play running back. You can pick out any game where he ran for more than 100 yards and argue that the opposing team did a good job containing him except for two or three big plays. Highlands did not do a good job of defending Baker.

160 yards on 2 plays, 80 yards rest of game. Did a great job defending him except for those 2 plays. He had 2 long TD runs for 160 yards and nothing to hurt Highlands rest of game. I will take holding big play running team to 15 points every game when your offense averages 40 PPG. HHS always runs a bend but don't break D and is willing to give up yardage, make other team run a lot of plays to score and let them make mistakes. They are told all the time to keep play in front of them and not let offense get behind them. You can get 5-8 yard passes all game long and then it gets tough in the red zone. The 2 long TD passes in Cov Cath game are the first I can remember in ages, they gear their D to not give up big play and make the offense earn it. I still am telling you despite what you think after this game, HHS weakness on D is pass defense. Ashland could not move the ball in the game against HHS except for the 2 breakaways Baker had.
