I donât follow the basketball at Ashland all that much except hearing a score hear or there.As I recall, the only explanations in the middle school football forum came from Belfry parents and fans. It would be best if the Ashland decision makers explained what happened or somebody who was closer to the situation than I was. I do have some sympathy for the boys who were forced to live with that decision for the past four years.

Thatâs crazy! Because when I seen Pikeville play at Belfry they were absolute monsters. So Iâd hate to see Ashland.

Correct. Iâve seen 9 game films on the Tomcats .....and theyâre definitely bigger than Belfry. Probably more so when it comes to height. I think from a weight perspective itâs a little closer. Ashland is a stout team.
I think their offensive philosophy, while itâs rooted in the run game, is different than Belfryâs. They will put it in the air some....and Gregg appears to be a competent passer, with only 1 INT on the season. To me, their run game is slightly more finesse driven, with the off tackle, cross counter and edges being their bread and butter. Belfryâs defense will be tested royally in maintaining gap integrity and not over pursing into he backfield like Russell did. The Belfry DEâs and LBâs will have to contain, flow and tackle well or itâs gonna be a tough night for the Pirates.
Ashlandâs defense is hard charging, so the Belfry OLine will have to play their best game to date to establish the run game Belfry craves. Iâm sure Ashland will show anywhere between 8-10 in the box....which is no different than Belfry has seen the past several years from everyone. The O-Line has to bring it for Belfry to be successful.
Gonna be a wet, cold night. Interested to see which team brings the most heat.

This is going to be a great game. Me and my oldest son will likely venture over to Pond Creek to check this one out.
IMO, this game can go a lot of different ways... I lean toward Belfry, but in a really close game.

With that being said, if the boys over on Pond Creek are all healthy, then I don't see Ashland stopping them. I look for a competitive game in the beginning, but ultimately Belfry and those running backs are too much.
Belfry 35
Ashland 14
When it comes to ASH-land do you think those pre civil war days are still relevant? I mean come on, they didn't even wear helmets back when ASH-land was in it's hey day period.

I want to send a big welcome out to the Tomcats and their staff and fans who will head to Belfry tomorrow. It looks as if it will rain early Friday but should be good throughout the game. CAM stadium has plenty of parking behind the home bleachers and in front of the gym. No umbrellas, sunflower seeds, or smoking is allowed at the stadium. You can smoke outside the gates. Concessions and bathrooms are on the home side with some of the best chili dogs and nachos around. If anyone is a radio headset wearer and wants some of the Belfry perspective you can tune in to 93.1 WDHR radio. Good Luck and safe travels. Also with the rain earlier in the day it’s good to bring some paper towels or garbage bags to have dry seating on aluminum bleachers.

Ashland is a very good football team, but man, is it difficult to win at Belfry. I think the loss to Johnson Central left a "bad taste" in the Pirates mouths and they are looking for redemption. This isn't a vintage Belfry team, but they are still pretty darn good. I think the difference is Belfry controlling the clock and wearing down Ashland in the end. Belfry wins 35-21.

Want to wish the Belfry Pirates and especially #55 good luck tonight. Keep your mind on the game son and leave it all on the field.
Want to say good luck to those young men from Ashland as well. They've fought hard all season long to get to this point and deserve all the respect in the world.
We kinda get caught up in the moment as fans and tend to forget these are just teenagers putting in the work and are the ones feeling the emotions of a win or lose.
Whoever wins this game tonight is who I'll be cheering for to win the championship. I can't imagine the heart break one of these teams will feel tonight. But just remember, this is just a game. Give it all you got and in the end, no matter what the final score is, you are all winners. You seniors have the rest of your lives to plan for and live. Good luck to the players and coaches, on both sides, and God Bless.

I donât know if Ashland is bigger or not but I can guarantee we ha e played against bigger and stronger than Belfry. We looked like boys against men at Spring Valley. But I also think itâs the best thing we could have done playing them. Because Russell and Belfry play a similar style but not nearly the size and strength. I think itâs going to pay off against Belfry.

Same can be said for the Pirates, we have played a tough schedule as well. I don't think either team will be unprepared.

I agree. It will definitely be a good game.
11-22-2019, 08:09 PM
This is unfortunate that both teams are good enough to make it too Kroger field and play for a state title. If Ashland plays as well this week as last I like our chances but if they were too lose playing there best football they lost too the better team. Good Luck to both teams and GO TOMCATS!!!
11-22-2019, 08:44 PM
Canât believe Iâm saying this but I agree with T-cats. These teams are both good enough to play each other at Kroger field. I do believe whoever comes out on top tonight will represent in Lexington. It will be a good one tonight. Ashland needs to hit some big plays, and Belfry needs to stay ahead of the chains and control the clock. Comes down to who executes and plays the most disciplined. Good luck to both teams and safe travels for the Ashland faithful.
