Ashland Arrows Football Coach - Scott Valentine on his team, Week 10 OCC Championship Game vs Lexington

Author: WMAN AM & FM (WMAN-AM) October 21, 2025 Duration: 13:17
Ashland Arrows head football coach, Scott Valentine, sat down this week with WMAN's Aaron Hines to discuss the Arrows season so far, which has been perfect at 9-0. 

Ashland is averaging over 41 points per game, the defense is only giving up 10 points game and they have held 7 of 9 opponents to a single touchdown.  Coach Valentine, who has been the head coach at Ashland for a total of 20 years, and overall has been a coach for 30 years, gave his thoughts on Lexington (8-1, 5-0), who the Arrows (9-0, 5-0) play for the outright Ohio Cardinal Conference Championship on Friday at 7 pm in Lexington. 

You can hear the game live on WMAN and iHeart Radio.

Aaron Hines has a simple belief: the most compelling stories aren't found on a global stage, but right outside your front door. In Local Talk with Aaron Hines, he turns that belief into conversation, exploring the unique texture of community life that often goes unnoticed. This isn't about headlines or viral moments; it's about the people, traditions, and quiet dramas that define a place. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a familiar diner or lingering on a park bench, where the discussion flows from the challenges facing a neighborhood bookstore to the history behind a beloved annual festival, or the unexpected ways a city's character shifts from one block to the next. You'll hear from longtime residents, local artists, small business owners, and civic volunteers-voices that collectively map the soul of a community. The podcast thrives on genuine curiosity, offering a slow, thoughtful listen that complicates our idea of "local" and celebrates the specific details that make somewhere feel like home. It’s for anyone who wants to listen more closely to the world immediately around them, discovering the extraordinary narratives woven into the ordinary fabric of daily life.
