Jackson 47
Miami Trace 4

Final

[Ironman92]

Jackson 34
Chillicothe 27

They had great length with 6’3 kid...guessing 6’7 wingspan. Strong 6’2 kid. Another 6’1 kid starting. PG as quick as anyone...then kid came off bench making big shots.

It was a battle. Great team man to man defense by the Ironmen and Drew Bragg carries the way offensively in the 2nd half.

Play each of them 2x...both have very good players that work well together. South Webster has two of the top players around and are undefeated having just beat Minford @Minford...Minford of course beat Waverly.

sounds as though the young ironmen better come to play

Tough game as expected. Jackson prevailed 49-41.

VC led a lot in the game. Evan Spires a great player and VC has long bigs and good guards to go with him. They are tenacious on rebounds and are well coached. I believe they were undefeated coming in.

Jackson had great play by Drew Bragg and Tristen Prater played a huge huge role as well on both side of the hall. Holden Blankenship was nails late on crucial free throws and solid all game never coming off the court. Logan Miller played strong in the 4th quarter and Grant Mastin used his size and strength to gather many big rebounds late in the game. Chris Hughes chipped in with some good active defense and some strong rebounds in the first half.

Tough game, we’ll see them again for final game of season.

great win. after reading the blog it seems there maybe signs of character getting built for this team tested early and comin out on top! needs to carry through the next two months....

[countywide35]

big game for these kids tonight....traveling south to face the undefeated south Webster jeeps.........

[Proud_Pirate63]

Zimmerman and Blizzard for SW are tough to defend. Take away their driving to the basket and you should come out with a victory.

Way to go Ironmen!!

[Ironman92]

South Webster came out hitting and the Ironmen came out clanking. Blizzard scored 5 quick and then picked up 2 quick fouls. Zimmerman did his thing and the kid that came in for Blizzard chipped in 7 points in the half. Tristan Prater kept the Ironmen close with a big half and the Ironmen trailed 24-19 at half.

Starting the 3rd quarter Drew Bragg made everyone quickly forget his tough first half. Bragg had 14 points in the first 8 min of the 2nd half. Jackson defense was incredible in the 2nd half. And pulled away late for a 47-36 win. Prater led the way with 18 pts, Bragg hit 15, Blankenship played the entire game and was big on the defensive side and knocked in 7 points. Chris Hughes chipped in 4 points but had 10 big rebounds and was everywhere with great hustle breaking up a lot of plays.

Zimmerman...a premier scorer in 8th grade for entire area went for 14 and I think Blizzard had 10

Refs did a pretty nice job I thought.

Rematch in Jackson isn’t too far away.

[countywide35]

great run down Ironman92.......it most definitely was a court full of talent from the jeeps and ironmen.......as for the refs doing a nice a job.....the first half they let the kids play which is great and how it should be ...........but the 2nd half they did not stay consentient with their style of referring from the 1st half.......my argument is to stay consistent and fair for the athletes the entire game........if they let them play like they did the 1st half then the 2nd half should be the same.......but for goodness sakes I am not on here writing complaining about referees at a jr. high basketball game......great game and fun atmosphere all the way around.....keep on keeping on RED!

Game 1

Jackson 51
McClain 39

Jackson fought the rim all night. Missed a lot of close up shots they simply just rarely do. MCLain really made some great shots and they weren’t lucky makes. They had a couple really good shooters/scorers. I see them winning a good number of games. We may see them 3 times this year.

Tristan Prater got the Ironmen going early on with a bunch of points. Drew Bragg did his thing and carried the Ironmen late. Logan Miller and Trey Miller each came off the bench when they were called and sparked Jackson. Nate Woodard used his length and good hand to cause a lot of trouble on defense. Holden Blankenship with some crazy tough buckets at the basket and defensive pressure.

Good win in the end...I’ll wager that will be our lowest shooting % of the season.

Looks like Greenfield hasn’t lost since we beat them by 12. They are 8-1.
