Jason Mays was a victim of the deep seeded, generations long hatred of Ashland that has been fostered at both Boyd County and Russell over the decades as Lions and Red Devils more often than not lost to the always prideful Tomcats.

Someone should have warned him.  You don’t talk to your rivals on the phone.  I guess the Ashland principal didn’t recognize this either, though, as he actually tried to win an election from constituents living largely in the Russell school district.  They both severely underestimated the hatred that exists between these schools and programs.

Sure, members, administrators, parents, and alumni of all these schools will look each other in the face and point out they all eat at the same restaurants, shop at the same stores, and worship at the same churches, but don’t be surprised to see knives sticking out of each others backs when they walk away.

Now we’re left to see if the KHSAA agrees that the sacrifice of Jason Mays is enough.  If not, Ashland’s boys basketball players could be sitting in the stands at the district and region tournaments this season.  If that’s the case, Boyd County and Russell will surely welcome any talented Ashland athletes with open arms.  We shall see.

So you are saying he is an innocent victim?  You know there is a recording, right?
