As I stated "This is just my opinion" so you have your opinion and I have mine. I have no dog in the Boyd/Ashland rival so my opinion is based off what I see. To say "That is a ridiculous statement" is an indictment on you not me. I said "Ashland Athletics" .... I did not say Ashland Basketball. Once again somebody wanting to paint their own narrative instead of reading the facts. They win state championships in football, are solid in girls basketball, volleyball, etc. That is a culture of excellence not just one sport.

Yes ... the prior coach was unethical and cheated. That is my opinion based on the audio recording "I" listened to. And Yes .... Ashland is still benefitting from the players that transferred in. You would think they were recruited as well but we will never know. So I will say the past three years' success can be contributed to the players that transferred in. But that doesn't explain the success of other sports, other extra-curriculars, academics, etc. That doesn't explain why Ashland is the winningest boys basketball program in state of Kentucky. They were the winningest program prior to the transfers so they must of had some type of winning culture prior to the previous coach.

With all that said if I had kids that were a skilled athletes and high functioning academically, I would want them to attend Ashland. It is a great school district. But again ..... that is just my opinion.
