I'll Take The Rock In This One, Ashland Has Not Been Tested.

Ash 14

I see that you haven't seen Ashland's schedule. They have played 2A #4 Russell (lost 21-13 with the ball on the goal line to tie the game as time expired), one of the top rushers in the state of Ohio in Jared Pendleton of Portsmouth West (won 42-8), #1 seeded Ironton (OH) (lost 27-26 as Ashland missed a field goal as time expired), and 3A #10 Johnson Central (won 13-10 as Johnson Central missed a game tying field goal as time expired).

Rock has played 1A #2 Danville (lost 0-34), beat a highly regarded but continuously struggling Harrison County (32-14), lost to 3A #9 Bell County (29-33), and beat a good Madison Southern team (35-7).

The only common opponent this season has been Mason County. Ashland won 26-13. Rock won 20-19 as Mason had a field goal blocked that would have won the game from 45 yards away.

To say that either of these is not battle tested are the words of someone who has not been properly informed.
