Ashland isn’t a mountain school.  Sits right on the River.  Little Ohio

Northeastern Kentucky is as mountain as it gets. The river has nothing to do with it. There’s more and higher mountains in Ashland/Boyd County than there are in Laurel County, which is considered mountain in this thread. 
16th region has Boyd County schools, Greenup, Lewis, Rowan, Bath, Elliott, Morgan, Carter, Menifee…..all which have mountainous terrains. Take a drive through Sandy Hook, Grayson, Morehead or Ashland and you will soon discover you are in the mountains, and pretty big ones at that. Being in the mountains isn’t determined by 13th, 14th or 15th region boundary lines.

^^^ But I’m just kidding with you for the most part, lol. I know that it’s long been a standard that the 13th, 14th and 15th regions are considered the “mountain schools”  of the state. The 16th, although geologically considered highland terrain too, is not referred to as mountain schools when discussing high school sports in Kentucky.
