3/8- Ironton 69 Zane Trace 45 (District Championship)

[86Tiger]

[quote="maniac66"]I think Ironton played a schedule help make them ready for a deep run in this tournament that and these young men playing together for so long.
I know a lot of people will say a schedule isn't a big difference maker but to go to Florida and play much larger teams and to play several different teams around the state and nation can only help.
They play against teams with bigger players and learned their own strengths from that.
I do agree one bad night can spell doom for any team but I will also admit I like Ironton's chances to get to the final 4 and maybe win it all.
Ironton had games this season where they sat both Carter and Fletcher at times this season and the team stepped up and never missed a beat that says a lot for this Ironton team.
Good Luck Ironton and keep focused and confident and you will be ok.[/quote]

My point exactly!!! Thanks old friend! I don't want people thinking that I am saying that they are unbeatable because I know that no one is.

A game that comes to mind would be Akron Butchel???? Trevor along with "the role players" were in the game at half with carter and fletcher both sitting for an extended period of time in the first half. We all know everyone is beatable but feel like it would be a major upset if it were to happen! Not cocky, but confident in our kids!

Did they change the games to 5:00,7:00,9:00? Thats what the trivalleyconference.com/TVCNews.html has. OHSAA still has 6:00,7:45,9:30. Which is right?

This Ironton team reminds me of the Burg team of 2007 that rolled through the Districts and the regional on the way to the Schott. Good size, speed and a great defensive team.


Ironton wins this regional about as easily as Burg did that year and they have a great shot of winning it all.

HAVE A GREAT GAME FIGHTING TIGERS , STAY FOCUSED 1 GAME AT A TIME.

Crazy late time for a game. Good luck Ironton, like to see them win it all.

Why wouldn't Carter be on the court much?

Foul trouble/sickness/random injury....just saying

The random injury thing really influenced the 1st game of the night.

[Redstreakin]

Ironton leads after 1 17-14

[WIFAN-22]

That's closer than I thought it would be after 1. What's going on? Is ZT playing well, or is Ironton struggling?

[TigerTownKid]

Zane Trace is living by the 3. If they start missing it could get ugly.

[TigerTownKid]

Lead is already up to 13. 30-17 with 4+ to go in the second quarter.
Fletcher already has 16.

[Redstreakin]

Starting to get ugly. 32-17 w/ 3:25 left 2nd qtr.

[Redstreakin]

32-17 sorry

[TigerTownKid]

32-22 Ironton at the half.

[Redstreakin]

32-22 half

[TigerTownKid]

It's unreal. You slow Zac down to 8 points in the first half and trey has 16. It's pick your poison when it comes to this team. And I love it.

[Ironman92]

Not bad....Ironton stepped on them but didn't squish them.

Still a game.

Very smart by ZT to pack it in and let Ironton hold it to end the half. Went in with some momentum and now are still in it with a chance to regroup at the half. Also, was able to keep Mowery from getting his 3rd foul too.

But, if Ironton can keep the pressure on, they should pull away. ZT must be super efficient the rest of the ball game.
