[washed up]

Realistically, Ashland is not a regional contender. Should they make the region they will be a scary draw. Congratulations to Coach Howell and the improvements the team has made. I feel like most are shocked. I do believe that if Baker and OBryan had not graduated early and had decided to play basketball the Ashland would have the two best defenders in the region and would have been a threat to win the region. Nevertheless they have been competitive without the aid of transfers like some believed were necessary.
