Final from the Ed Stepp Classic at Woodford Co. Zander Carter led scorers with 21 points. 

Ashland has played a TOUGH schedule no doubt, but has not faired well against top 25 teams outside of Anderson Gym.

That may be true but lets look at the games. The Tomcats have played 4 games against teams ranked in the media's top 25 as of this week. They opened the season with the first 2 games on the current  #2 and #8 ranked teams being Great Crossing and Hazard. They lost by 6 to Great Crossing in OT. They then lost at Hazard by 7 points. The defeated #14 ranked Danville Christian by 11 and they lost today by 6 to the #17 ranked team.

Now lets look at Boyd Co. they have only played 3 teams currently ranked in the top 25. They have played #15 ranked Ashland and defeated them by 6 last night on the Tomcats floor but they lost by 28 to the same Ashland team on their home floor and they were beat by 21 points on a neutral court to #5 ranked Bryan Station.

Not sure what Boyd Co has to do with the conversation
