First, concerning the thread topic;, I think this game will be closer than expected. This is Boyd County's "Super Bowl" while Ashland is hoping for bigger fish to fry. Boyd will hang around for a while.
Second, concerning the possibility of Strader coming back; after the first couple weeks without Strader Ashland did get stronger by having the ball in Houston's hands every play...but....I believe they can peak with Strader at QB if they find a way to get Houston more touches. He has to become a threat to run or catch the ball every play. If you move him back to a wideout and target him three or four times per game then you are not maximizing your potential and will become weaker offensively.
