No doubt. Certainly one of the contributing factors to the fact that we've never met. Another is that we've almost always been in the same classification and most coaches don't like playing teams in their class outside of district and playoffs because of the rematch factor. Somewhere in Ashland's history we've met with the majority of the big school contenders in the state and BG is just one we've never had the pleasure of taking the field with.

I would like to see B.G. and Ashland play myself. It would be a long trip either way but would sure be fun to watch. Ashlands little league team came over here to B.G. this summer to play in the state championships. My son played on the B.G. East team and we met some very nice people from over there. They had a very good team and their parents were First Class. They sure represented Ashland proudly.
