2018 Ironton Fighting Tigers The Pendleton Era

[ELChapo]

They hung a State Championship sign in Tiger Alley reading 2???.

As a former player and alumnus, this is really embarrassing.

Now that’s confidence. Lol. But with the 3 ??? on there means they are hoping to win a state title in the next 82 years or longer.

That banner has been there for the last couple of years. There’s nothing wrong with the banner either. It’s just stating who’s going to be NEXT. Your a TROLL and everything that WAS wrong with Ironton Sports program. It’s finally back on path from sounds of things.

I would think a lot of teams would like to have 2

[Obdtf]

Wow, sounds like Ironton fans are really pumped up over the new coach! good for them! Beep Beep! here comes a Sider!

[wobycat]

Let’s say all come back aside from the boy at burg. I’m trying to find out where production comes from. QB is talented but he can’t carry the entire team, plus he will have to play defense. They have a few other strong kids but no outside threats that I can remember, plus their line is thin. I think this team is a 7-3 type team if Pendleton plays conservative. I think they are suited this year in a pro type style offense. They will be stronger this year but won’t have enough depth to go complete four quarters against deeper teams.

OMG give this coach a few years to turn around this sinking ship! Remember he is not the second coming of JC!

[DMUP]

Nobody get their shorts in a wad but I have a question .. what’s the number on kids who’ve left ? I know the one who went to wheelersburg left there because of the new change where he couldn’t play the second half of the season , did any of the lineman come back and I guess then QB stayed which I have mixed feelings about

4th , did he come back to ironton. I heard there were 4, but I have no idea.

A friend of mine from wheelersburg assured me he’s not there anymore , he said they lost 4 kids do to the new rule, a couple of them from Portsmouth

I believe the rule went into effect 5/15 or close to that. If a player moved schools prior to that he/she is grandfathered . But even if they move schools now and have a legit move of residence they will not sit. I believe the young man went to burg prior to 5/15 and moved as well. Correct me if I’m wrong Ibtt

Yes the rule did not go into effect until 05/15/18.

Interesting.

Well Ironton won't have the opportunity to play Burg in the playoffs if they make it, but they could have to travel really far north now.

Huh? Both are d5 this year. Right?

Never mind just saw.

[TOUGH]

Just saw on fan page where they ordered 67 new uniforms. Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t that be one of the bigger Ironton teams ever???

[noreply66]

They might have not been for just the varsity. It even could have been home and away uniforms.

[ELChapo]

I've been attacked for not agreeing with the crazy narrative we are going to the playoffs.

I want these kids to win. Coached a good amount of them in youth leagues. I just know changes take time, and it would be a miracle if they win a State title, which is somehow now expected with this new coach.

Everything I have heard about him makes me like him, so I'm of the opinion of giving him time to build.

I don't want to sound mean, but Ironton isn't winning the OVC this year. Fairland, Coal Grove, Gallia, and Rock Hill are going to be pretty good and have more pure talent than the Tigers.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

bottom line with me is. coach Pendleton has seen more drama here than needed. I pray he doesn't take it personal from some posters who probably took other people's lunch money in school, and made fun of handicapped kids. ironton is chalked full of wonderful, fun loving, honest, hard working folks who'd give you the shirt off their own backs. anyone would want to take over a program as steeped as ironton's in tradition. I told ya'll before God already knew how this would work out, and what man he wanted at the helm to do it. and he has assembled a staff stuffed with coaching experience including coach triplett who has coached all over the country. there is not a true fan or poster on this site that will not be satisfied seeing a change for the positive come out of those hallowed locker room doors. a team with fight n desire, n a new outlook on life. everything else will fall into place. it could be anything from a disaster to a playoff run. who knows. I put my confidence in the men running the show. and know you won't see any quit in these kids. it really doesn't matter who stays or goes, or comes back. THOSE THAT STAY AND THOSE TO FOLLOW WILL BE WINNERS.

[ELChapo]

Way to take shots at anyone that disagrees with you, Bait. Great stuff.

[Getting Older]

Could someone tell me who Trevons assistants are

[Raider6309]

What does Ironton bring back from last year?
