Middletown Madison hung on to beat Africentric last week and went into 2 OT to beat a very good Versailles team.
They have a player that will probably be going to UCONN to play for Geno year after next. It will be a good battle but the height of Madison will be the deciding factor and they will prevail by 10. JMO

Good luck to the Ironton Lady Tigers vs. Middletown Madison in the State Tournament !!!

BRING IT ON!!!! I realize the lady fighting are so sick of hearing #2 or# 3 ranked in the state!!!! What a free antoginizer to get the lady tigers pumped up in an atmosphere they hungrily want to advance in, since in their two previous showings they were eliminated here! To West Lafayette Ridgewood when the incredible BETH ANN RIST LED THEM THERE AMONG OTHERS!!!! Then in 2005 the huge hurdle of South Euclid Regina, their dominating force of all- stars from every where was a HUGE CHALLENGE IN WHICH THE LADY TIGERS, were never ever part of that ridiculous challenge mentally!!
SO WITH REGINA OUT, this is a legitimate state championship!!!
If the lady tigers can come back & hand un-defeated OAK HILL A TOURNEY LOSS, why not MIDDLETON MADISON? HERE IS Y IT CAN BE DONE IN EZ TO GRASP FACTS!!!!
1. IRONTON HAS PROVED THEY CAN PLAY WELL IN A PRESSURE ATMOSPHERE!!!
2. IT IS MIDDLETON MADISONS TO LOSE STANDING TALL & undefeated!!!!
3. IRONTON IS PLAYING AS A TEAM ON FIRE & with aggression! That negates 7 feet
Tall girls!!!
4. Middleton got chased to the wire by AFFICENTRIC & had to go to O. T. to take out
Versailles!!!!
5. While giving all props to MID/MAD, AFFICENTRIC, & VERSAILLES, HERE COME
THE IRONTON FIGHTING LADY TIGERS, READY TO SHOW THE STATE A LIL
SUM/SOMETHING ABOUT ...... WHEN U BELIEVE...
U..... ACHIEVE!!!! Win or lose, achievement has been attained, now we pray
For two winning games! BELIEVE=ACHIEVE!!!

Why would you root against a "Team" of Girls and a Coaching Staff that have played and Coached their "Butts" off to get to where they are??? Because of some Fans postings??? UNBELIEVABLE...............

GO LADY TIGERS..........Stay Focused, one Game at a time.
