Ashland improved to 6-1.

Mason County is no where near as down as people have thought. Their team speed kept them in the game. They were very, very fast, and it gave the Ashland offense fits. Also, Mason County came out full of emotion and Ashland was pretty flat until a missed call brought the flat crowd to life. Ashland's fans nearly outnumbered the Mason fans and when they finally got loud, it threw a wrench into Mason's no huddle offense. The QB was having trouble getting the play in from the sideline, and the receivers and line couldn't hear the calls from the QB.

Mahan struggled passing, and didn't throw enough good balls, and took too many sacks, but he did well scrambling and picking up yards on the ground.

Thomas struggled for anything in the first half but averaged 5 yards a carry in the 2nd half.

Drew McDavid has a great game RUNNING the ball on reverses that were open all night.

The Ashland defense became extremely stingy in the 2nd half pitching a shutout.

There were a few Mason County players, #60 with a head injury, and #20 with some kind of an injury that he was having trouble breathing that I hope are ok.
