You couldn't be further from the truth about last year's game. Coach Hart didn't run the score up on Prestonsburg. Ashland won 55-9 and didn't play their starters in the 2nd half and only scored 2 TDs in the second half.

Your only possible argument for running up the score was the fact that Ashland was trying to pass at the end of the first half. Which I agree is on the edge, but the reason for the passing was that there was very little time left in the half and Ashland was trying to build a large enough lead to create a continuous running clock for the 2nd half bringing a quicker end to the game.

As for clapping when a Blake Meade got crushed by Adam Cannoy, I'm sure he did. He was congratulating Adam on a great peel back block when the play broke down and the QB had to run. He wasn't clapping because the player was injured. Do you not immediately clap or cheer when one of your players execute a great clean block springing a big run?

If you want to talk about class, how about Coach Derossett sprinting across the field and challenging the Ashland staff to a fight after a clean block where a player happened to get injured?

It's ridiculous to hear a team talk about getting the score ran up them when they only lose 55-9 against a top 10 team in the state who plays their 2nd and 3rd string the entire 2nd half when they beat Magoffin County 83-12 and won't say they were in wrong.

he wasn't injured he just got his clock cleaned.
