[Truth]

Ashland played well and with great effort, Boyd is the better team. Its that simple. To me Ashland loses this matchup due to a lack of team physicality, they play several kids who are just not very strong. Every rebound that was contested and every loose ball that was contested ended up with the Boyd player. As for the foul discrepency, you will have to subtract every free throw in the last three minutes to get a true picture of free throws shot. Quite frankly, I have never understood why people believe the fouls should be even or close to even.

Excellent post. Ashland is playing better and that should be the focus of comment rather than excuses for losing. As I posted earlier, I believe Ashland could make it to the region championship and then who knows? It would be neat for a team with 26 losses to make it to Rupp Arena.

I still look for Ashland to draw into the bracket opposite Rowan County. Of course, Boyd County must be in the other bracket. If my "supposing" is correct, Ashland would need to defeat Raceland and probably Morgan County to reach the finals. That is possible. We shall see.
