I can see Ironton going 8-2
Nothing to be ashamed of Ironton you played hard and will grow from this game.

[KY.BUCKEYE]

Not bad but oh the penalties and fumbles!!

[Valenth]

Ironton gave Ashland some fits with their defense and affected Ashland's Offense which was not that good tonight. Difficulty converting 3 and 4th downs

However Ashland's Defense ramped up and Ironton had issues with coughing up the Football.

Ironton will get the ball control issue under wraps they will be fine in coming weeks! They're a good team!

[RACELAND]

Went to this one. Tiger defense is not bad. Offense though is anemic at best. Also got to get Carrico some help. That dude ain’t going to make thru the whole season with the beating he takes. Tomcats looked sluggish all night. Tigers missed a huge opportunity tonight. I’ve never seen an ironton team get so many penalties.....especially at home.

[FANOSPORTS]

Good showing Ironton , keep improving.

[Tigers_89]

A young Ironton team is improving every snap! This team is gonna be fun to watch! Block, Tackle, Take care of the football and everything else will fall into place! GO TIGERS!

Good game for the Tigers. We need to make some adjustments to the offense. But when you turn the ball over that much it makes it hard on the play calling.

[Tjhtygeverve]

Was a gut punch game to listen to. Ironton seems to have a great D. & can hang with these stronger programs . But, the penalties against both squads, which were not explainable by broadcast, and combined it with Ihs 7 turnovers,
I think that speaks for the tenacity of the young tigers. THE TOMCATS were averaging 40 points a game!
The Ashland QB getting div 1 offers & he was stymied most of the game.

The stats were barely in Ashland’s favor offensively. Ihs has younger backs to use with good speed and size. They should start implementing them to alleviate exposure of backs continually running Ball now. They could really mix it up more with a varied attack, which was missing last night. They tried that with QB following blockers thru, but it got picked up by second half and was less effective. I like coach P though!!! Great preparation!

Evidentially ref crew was all from WV and several of the mysterious calls were from back judge, 30 yards from play, where he felt actions leaned toward endangering a player, giving an “unknown” double fist pump” when explaining penalty!

Tigers must Live and learn. Pendleton needs to get tigers penalties under control. Keep the FB and head into OVC PLAY healthy!
Good luck tigers!

Good luck Ashland in KY !

I hope Ihs can get raceland on schedule too. That would be a great matchup with Ironton!

What a difference a year and a new coach makes. Ironton's Tanks Memorial Stadium was hopping last night with a capacity crowd. I think it is the best stadium in the area to watch a game. When the Fighting Tigers crowd roars under the covered home section, it can really create some noise.

Ironton made a LOT of mistakes in the game. Fumbles and penalties were key in determining the outcome. Ironton has a lot of guys playing both ways including all the key members of the offensive backfield. Ashland platooned for the most part. Even with all that going against Ironton, though, they fought the entire 48 minutes. Fosson and Carrico are beasts. Are they both underclassmen? Real warriors out on the field.

I came away impressed with the Tigers, the program, the community support, and the new coach. It is obvious he has breathed new life into this program and they will return to the Ironton of old very very soon. Ashland was lucky to get out of there with a win.
