I watched Jackson last night and tonight. They scored two early runs VS Burg, and made some solid contact against a really good senior pitcher. Burg's play was subpar by their standards. They woke up and ended up winning something like 8-2. Jackson did not look too bad. They threw a couple of leftie...

Burg has been outside quite a bit. The offense will be strong, probably as strong as last year. The pitching is every bit as good with more experience and depth. Still looking for the right combination defensively. The pieces are there. They won't be as strong as last year. That team was special def...

Wheelersburg is good.

The early verbal is sadly becoming a necessary evil. It almost never benefits the student athlete.

I'm not saying anyone needs to go, but respect and culture begins and ends with the head coach. The buck stops there. Let's not throw all of the assistants under the bus and take all of the blame off of the head coach. Players aren't permitted to join the team after conditioning, or dictate when an...

He's a very good athlete and it wouldn't surprise me if he is the starter next season. I just don't see Ironton changing their offense to accommodate what he can do. That's a valid point. Sometimes kids are expected to conform to a school's offensive scheme. It has to be the other way around. You h...

Another thing to keep in mind is that you never know when a coach is watching. My daughter was playing in Pennsbury, Pennsylvania and I would have laid you a thousand to one odds that there was not a college coach anywhere watching her game that morning. It was an early game, and the weather wasn't ...

Yes, a QB from Burg that will be a sophomore. And yes they moved into the district. Should be good to go.

QB from The Burg will be a sophomore next year.

I'm with Dan. Not playing school ball should be a last resort, and if you don't play have a really good answer as to why you are not. Getting recruited is about a lot of things. The ability to play the game is only one of them. The ability to be a good teammate, and a leader are others. If there is ...

I'm hearing that a pretty talented athlete has just moved into the school district. Could be an option at QB.

I just went through the process, and I can tell you that no college coach has ever attended a high school game or contacted my daughter's high school coach. All of her recruiting has been the result of travel ball, and attending camps. Getting hooked up with a good travel organization is far more im...

I am not saying the coaching is lazy. I know some of the coaches, and they are as dedicated as they come.

As far as attitudes go, they will be better. Simple addition by subtraction. They need to move the needle with the culture and expectations. It is not okay to miss "voluntary" workouts, not if you want to have any shot at playing time next year. The FAST program at Tri State Rehab should s...

I dont think so unless Howard in the circle gets injured , then their # 2 is really good. Faith is dominant for this area , great movement , great change , throw its about 60 . Shes the real deal , one of the best , maybe the best pitcher this area ( scioto co ) has ever seen . I cant think of anyo...

Anyone that was hurt going to play? Who they missing now that played at beginning of the year?

The Klaiber kid is back to practicing, and should be back at center, but could possibly move over to guard depending on the defensive look.

Ironton VS Hamilton Badin at Dublin 1989. Coldest I have ever been, and it isn't close.

This could be a big win for the Fighting Tigers program in my opinion this Friday. For the last two seasons Ironton has shown that they wouldn't give up after getting beat early in the season. Last year starting out the year 0-4 while this season starting out the season 1-3. Both seasons the Tigers...
