Ashland Blazer 19, Lawrence County 14
Game analysis
1. Both teams played extremely hard. The depth of Ashland eventually showed itself in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Lawrence played extremely hard with a lot less guys on both sides of the ball.
2. Ashland made the big plays when they needed to and Lawrence did not. There were two big pass plays, both had great individual efforts by Ashland receivers. Credit to Hughes and I believe it was either Strader or McCoy with the catch down the middle of the field.
3. Lawrence ran the ball very well. They did it against a much bigger and deeper Ashland front and backers so that tells me this team’s identity is just that and I expect a lot of it moving forward. I think the more depth they can create on both sides will allow those guys who play both ways to be more fresh. Our offensive line is doing a good job making holes and they work well as a unit.
