Comparing scores does have its place if you take into account how hard a team had to work and matched up against the same opponent. Russell struggled through this game and Boyd was clearly not out-matched, but against Breahitt, they were simply never in the game. Just because I may have a different opinion and way of looking at things does not mean I am wrong, or right.. I hear about "class' and such in regards to Breathitt and have even heard "bush-league," but I say it is "bush-league" to quit and take your starters out when you are only down by 3-4 scores.

I never said comparing scores had no place. I said sometimes it can be misleading. Different attitudes and styles of play can skew things a bit.

Russell's offense did not struggle in that game against Boyd. In fact they scored at will and even more so at will than Breathitt's offense did against Boyd County.

Now it is true that they had a big let down on defense in that game. You could see the relax happen after the first score. Next thing you know Wilson broke one off for about 70 yards and a TD. If the defense plays with that same effort as that night, than you are right. Ashland will probably win. I certainly hope the players don't take this Ashland team lightly and I don't believe they will.

We have been discussing this situation of scoring late for a week now. Obviously we disagree. Don't take it personally. I still don't agree with running up a score but I don't hate anybody for it.
