Agreed 99%. I think with Ashland having not been able to practice for the last 13 days plays into Loves decision not too throw 4 new  O-Line starters and a new QB against JC. Ashland returns 9 starters on D and would be great preparation for Belfry. As a fan I’d love too play the game though. Ashland’s schedule outside of Raceland and Russell is a joke. Spring Valley game probably won’t happen and no Wheelersburg, Ironton, George Washington games stings too.

Johnson Central has two new starters on the offensive line and they're breaking in a new starter at quarterback as well. JC is also replacing their entire offensive backfield. Johnson Central returns 4 starters on offense and 6 on defense. I'm kind of shocked that this game isn't being played especially since Ashland had to cancel their week one game. Why would Coach Love be comfortable with playing Spring Valley this week but not Johnson Central? There's not much difference between Spring Valley and Johnson Central in my opinion. This would be a an awesome game to see for both fan bases.

I understand your frustration. Don’t know what I’d have to look forward to if no football on Log Mountain. But rest assured Johnson Central is not a team you want to take on with essentially no preparation before hand. I just seen our boys work their tails off for 8 weeks preparing for those guys and it did not go in our favor. I knew our offense would struggle after losing several great athletes and 3 outstanding lineman. But our D returned 8 starters from last year and it was everything we could do to keep them out of the end zone. Not sure where you get your info but our staff had JC returning 8 starters on defense as well. They returned their star offensive tackle, who is every bit as advertised, a great tight end, and Preston in the backfield who was last years state finals MVP. Johnson Central is not someone you can downplay in the slightest. Anyways hope your Cats get to play soon those kids deserve it.
