2018 Ironton Fighting Tigers The Pendleton Era

If you want to talk negatively, please use the other thread. I didn't start this thread for negativity, it's time to get behind the new Coach, his Staff and the kids that are going to be the Ironton Fighting Tigers. You can either support them on this thread or go to the other thread and complain all you want.

Thank you!!!

GO TIGERS.........

MY FONTS BIGGER THAN YOURS!!!!!

Considering they play in the OVC, they could easily finish 7-3 and make the playoffs. Not sure why you think that is such a humorous statement.
4-6 last year could easily turn into 7-3 with the right coaching staff and attitude.

Congrats to Trevon. I am sure he will make improvements in the next few seasons that Ironton desperately needs.

And you wonder why people dont like the mouthers from Burg.......

You rip the burg fan while undermining every team in the OVC, including Coal Grove who just finished a deep playoff run. The OVC has a few teams that can play. I have no idea what they will do but with the coach just being hired, and kids leaving, I would also find it hard to believe they can make the playoffs next year.

He was being an @sshat and I dont care where he is from. Why grown @ss adults think its entertaining to come onto a high school sports forum and downgrade players and a coach that is just getting his feet wet is beyond me. Probably people who never even played sports in high school and beyond to top it off.

And that wasnt a ripping snowflake lol. I asked him what was humorous going from 4-6 to 7-3, especially in the OVC.

If you want to bring up the OVC, they have factually been much less of competition than the SOC II in the past 10 years. That goes for head to head match ups, playoff wins and playoff appearances. Sure they have some teams that can play and have good years. But overall they are weaker than the SOC and thats the facts jack.

2017-

CG 9-1 regular season
SP 2-8
GA 5-5
Portsmouth 5-5
Fairland 6-4
Rock Hill 4-6
Chesapeake 4-6

Fairland 0-3 vs SOC II
RH was 1-2 vs SOC I and II (Only beat NW)
Portsmouth 1-1 (beat a very sub par Valley team)

Id say Trevon has a very good path to make the playoffs this season through playing in the OVC.

Anymore comments about this Wobycat? I would love to hear your non factual based comments some more.

Huh? Ironton was third in the conference last year dumbo. With people leaving, and a new implementation of offense and defense, way late in the game, you’re statement is weak and holds no merit, but you pulled a pot shot at the burg poster who simply laughed at the notion. I like the hire but I’m not going to bet he’s simply going to make the playoffs because he’s knowledgeable of the game and is enthusiastic. Most every staff in high school has coaches that played in college.

Resorting to name calling now eh? Classy. Pot shot? Laughable.

Met with the kids this afternoon and took them to the weight room and they got after it. Kids were told this is the first day of your season. Very positive impression of Coach Pendleton according to many kids.

This hire has a good feel.

[trojandave]

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Coach Pendleton as a short timer at Ironton. I would also add that I don't think he took the job knowing absolutely nothing about Ironton's tradition and expectations. He is a well educated individual who played Big Ten football and had a very good career doing so. His experiences at West and Michigan State have given him an inside look at how two winning programs are built on and off the field.

If he can build the Fighting Tigers back into a football power, he just may be there longer than some think, regardless of whatever other jobs including West open up. Sure, the expectations of the Ironton community are high, but he has played for two programs with similar expectations.

I'm an outsider looking in, but I can't help but think this is a great hire for Ironton football. Time will tell, but his personal experiences certainly will have a positive effect on the program given time.

[BigBlueNation]

I like and respect Trevon. I do believe that one day soon he will be a great head coach. However I hate this for him. Whoever he has advising him did him a great injustice. Ironton is an absolute mess. This is no place for a first year HC. Ultimately a HC can only be as good as his administration allows. Bad situation here all the way around. I wish he would have stayed at West with Rumors every year of Johnson leaving. Hope I'm wrong. Good Luck young man!

I agree with this post 100%. Trevon needs to keep eyes in the back of his head, so he can see the knives before they stab him in the back.

I could be wrong but I thought the OHSSAC only permitted that kind of thing during certain months etc etc?

So what you’re saying is, BG6 can’t laugh at a comical statement, because that is down grading kids? But you can come on here right after and down grade an entire conference of kids? You are quite the conundrum.

Just to clear the air with your, average at best, attempt to bash BG6. He did in fact play. So, I assume now that you’re an @sshat.
One who likes to play the victim. But in actuality is the villain snowflake who gets offended because someone doesn’t agree with you. Then you try your best to bash.

"Met with and took" indicates it was organized as opposed to voluntary, yes? Interesting.

[79Tiger]

I hate to throw a big "IF" into this celebration but this could be a Scioto County conspiracy. Pendleton accepts the position to Tank the Tigers. He will maintain the status quo with 5-5 or 4-6 seasons biding his time for his trimphant to West as a head coach. By then the Ironton program will be in shambles, the Burg will surpass Ironton in head to head wins, and there will be no power programs in Lawrence County to speak of except the possibility of Coal Grove rising to the top for an extended period of time. Sound crazy? It may be, but then what IF?

It was "Voluntary" lol
Kids are allowed to do organized lifting now regardless.
