Ashland had little interest in allowing their guests to enjoy the view of the new turf at Putnam Stadium.

Ashland scored four touchdowns in the opening frame and added two more before the half.
Cam Davis opened the scoring with a 57-yard hookup with LaBryant Strader on the senior quarterbacks first of four passing touchdowns on the night. Braxton Jennings added his first of two touchdowns with a 6-yard run three minutes later. Maverick Ashby plunged into the endzone with a 2-yard score and Jennings ended the frame with a 10-yard strike from Strader.
