I dont see a record this bad either. P West and Prestonsburg were both games that the Starters were out after half time. Unless huge changes were made in these clubs I dont see them being loses for the Tomcats. Everyone plays their top game for the Cats, but I really dont know why people are saying there that bad. Two scrimmages against two very good football teams and both games were close. If I remember right neither scrimmage from last year were real pretty. Ashland will be Ashland, and although they may not be the District favorite, I believe in the end they will be right there fighting for it.

The reason the thought for a loss to either P West or Prestonsburg in my mind isn't based off solely the fact of how Ashland has scrimmaged so far or because I think we're not as good as last year or the other team's are that improved.

My reasons for thinking that we may drop one of those two games is for a combination of reasons.
1. Those are the first 2 games this season Ashland will be playing on the road (including scrimmages)
2. Both of those teams are looking for serious respect after last years' contests
3. I worry about us being emotional and physically drained after playing the season opener against a respected Raceland team, rival and defending 2A state champ Russell, and 03 and 04 2A state champs Belfry

I could just very easily see Ashland get snakebit during one of those road games.
