I'm a young guy. 21. So I don't remember much. But the 1999 team was special at GA.

The early-mid 2000s were the best teams, that I remember. 03 and 06 stand out, in particular

06 GA, I believe, beat Ironton at the Tank, breaking a long losing streak there for the Blue

Sorry about the fat finger typing in last post. Lol. The 1986 Meigs team only “gave” up 28 all year.

Those were very good teams for Meigs

1967 was a hell of a team as well. Went 9-1 to win their only SEOAL title. Perry Kennedy won SEOAL MVP as a lineman and Coach Chancey was coach of the year.

Meigs 20 Wahama 0
Meigs 36 Fairfield 0
Meigs 12 Athens 8
Meigs 8 Gallia 6
Meigs 14 Logan 8
Meigs 14 Wellston 6
Meigs 0 Ironton 8
Meigs 50 Jackson 14
Meigs 28 NY 0
Meigs 36 Parkersburg South 0

Remember back in 1981, Eastern not only was 10-0
But averaged like 5 turnovers each game and
Was still 10-0, you never hear of that and
They had talent all over the place too they had
Nick Lenard who was 2nd team all state and they
Had Dave Gaul and Dave went on to play at OU
and If I remember right Dave played against north
Galia with a broken collarbone, that team was
Loaded with butt-kickers.

Oak Hill - 2009 and 2010. They were 10-0 and went to the second round of the playoffs where they lost to Ridgewood 20-12. In 2010 they played a stronger schedule, but still finished 9-1 with the starting QB out in the one lose. They lost to Frederictown in the regional final 28-21.

That was a good year for NY too. They won the state title in D4. Brian Mays went on to start at ILB at OU. So him and Gaul were teammates I guess. :mrgreen:

I had not noticed this topic before now. but as far as the ironton fighting tigers. it would be hard to argue that the 79 and 89 teams were not the best as they both won the state. 99 was a state runner up year, and the ironton tigers made a 1st down on 4th that would have won the game. and we got hosed by the refs. it was awful. then in the state game with wausseon there was the field goal to win the game that was not good. you cain't make this stuff up. the 1978 team may have been the best ever. they steamrolled everybody by huge margins. but were not able to play a game because of a school district being on strike. seems like meigs or logan. and cost the tigers a playoff appearance. then the following year won their 1st in 1979. lutz had said on numerous occasions that he felt that was his best team ever. hard to say about the years prior to 1972 as the playoffs had not started yet. but they played monster schedules then, teams like Columbus east, Watterson, and the like.

I was in attendance during those 89 and 99 games BAIT. I agree with you on the 99 game. We were sitting where we could see the LOS and he clearly got across the line to gain. Both of those Ironton teams were tough. I was also there for the Wauseon game. What a heart breaker. But that Ironton team was fortunate to get out of Portsmouth with a win against VC in the second round, so I guess the Tigers were both blessed and cursed that year.

ironton has been to the state I think 8 times or 9 maybe. they have lost several state games by extremely small margins. the only real blowout I can remember off the top of my head was the game against mentor lake catholic when the had joe juravicious.

The only way the 2017 team competes with the 81 - 82 team or the 82- 83 to team would be playing the game in 2017 vs 50 yr olds.🤣

They were above average.

Chesapeake 1999 team went 11-1, with an undefeated regular season. They eventually lost to Amanda, who would win the state title. The 2000 team went 8-2 with both of their losses coming by a combined 3 points (Wayne state runner up, and Minford D4 playoffs).

2002 team went to the regional finals, again before falling to Amanda.

I think it's hard to say the best team (s) ever in your school. Different offenses and defenses have changed, the rules have changed, equipment, and etc... I think it should go by decade, 70's, 80's, 90's and such...

Best team Chesapeake every had was the Sonny Stowers led 1960 teams. Second best was '75 team led by Kevin Rice and Randy Bone. If the state took as many teams as they take nowadays the '75 teams would have went easily. They lost 2 games late then bounced back against CG to finish 8-2 and received votes in the final Class A writers poll after getting as high as 6th in the state.
