[Hoot Gibson]

Johnson Central wins another district title. If the game was played on a neutral field, then I would predict a 14 point margin, but strange things happen when JC plays at Putnam Stadium. Ashland will not slow down JC's running game without penalty flags flying all night long or JC committing a large number of unforced fumbles. If JC leads or the game is close at halftime, then I really like JC's chances of winning. 

Johnson Central's top two kickers are injured, so Ashland will probably get the benefit of good field position most of the night. If the Tomcats hold McCoart below 200 yards rushing, then they will have a chance.
