Agreed on all accounts..except for the Ashland/SK statement. Excluding Belfry completely, I would like Lou. Central's chances with each. If the Yellowjackets can beat Male and play St. X and Manual tough, I would expect few to ahve a problem listing them as a favorite against either a flawed Ashland team who has a blowout loss and a loss to a 1A team on thei record. And a SK team who have been a Jekyll and Hyde act.

Ashland is flawed. They have very good quickness on defense but there weakness would be against a straight ahead power runnning team. Hence Johnson Central was a matchup nightmare for them. As was that 1A team that IMO is the second best 1A team in the state.

SK is a good 6A team that would be a great 3A team with one of the best RBs in the state. Look at their schedule and you can understand the Jeckyll and Hyde act.

Ashland's win over Russell is a huge rivalry game that the Tomcats came in really fired up for. I honestly don't think that result would be repeated if they were to play again.

All of that said, none of those teams are in the ballpark with Johnson Central. How Belfry stacks up we will find out. I wish them luck.
