Stats are all fine and dandy but it doesn't even begin to show the importance of those devastating blocks that NotsoBADCAT laid on those no good for nuthin, dirty bunch of Vikings that lead this Tomcat team on to victory. Let's not fail to honor the real hero of this game. alute:

Linemen never get the credit they are due. But backs go no where without holes.

Poor little bib. You will get over badcat completely owning your life someday but you do have a few titles that no one can take away from you. State champion at hide and seek and long time reigning coward of the county.

[Tomcat Pride]

Was very impressed with Dowdy last night although I still believe that Ratlifff is the better option at quarterback for the future. How about the play of Noah Roberts last night! The future is very bright for the Tomcats!

[AshlandDad]

I've not been very impressed with Ratliff personally, especially in extended time with JV. Lousy decisions. He is playing as a freshman though, so that could improve with reps.

I'd like to see Roberts get a real shot at QB, don't think that'll happen anytime soon though.

I haven't been too impressed with Ratliff at qb either. Jv and varsity time he looks inconsistent. I'll give it to the kid, he can run. Roberts imo should stay in the backfield and complement Baker. Dowdy is the man at qb for the time being.
