I have nothing but love for our kids playing this honorable game. same with the fans, everyone I have met are good people. we all want our team to excel. and as I age I realize how important football and sports in general to these kids. sports helps mold these kids. many from broken homes. strengths they will draw on the rest of their lives. the point is keeping them active, out of trouble and in good shape. of course sports is about wins n losses. but you get like me closer to 60 than 50. and you just pray for the young'uns safety. glad to see friends from both sides,glad to get out of the house, watch something exciting, and wish everybody a safe trip home. so good luck to all the young'uns from the team to the band, to cheerleaders.maiorettes,coaches and all the people behind the scenes that are too countless to mention. god be with you and have fun n be safe.YTB.

You, my friend, are first class all the way...very well stated and the best of luck to 2 great football teams!

Ironton QB and senior RB carrico from what I saw

Burgs defense is really good. One of their best units I've seen in pre season. Of course, Holden is a natural threat. Hard to play him one on one.

thank you falcon, you are too kind.

Nice post Tiger Bait, when you play the game or when your kids played the game you take it pretty serious, as you get older or your son(s) graduate, it gets a little less competitive or personal with you. You still want your team to win, but it is more about the experience and seeing a good game and the community aspect to a Friday night under the lights for all the kids.

exactly, glad my young'uns got through it safely. and my kids were surrounded by good people/coaches at rock hill, then at ironton from junior high on. with coach bob lutz and Merrill triplett his lone year there. and they got to compete in the seoal as we did as kids.

I think reality set in here in Ironton. The previous years they still had high hopes going into this game. Now its like they have become numb to the beatings.

What do I know.....Ironton may show up and make a close game out of it.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

it is gonna get done Saturday night one way er tother.

38-13 Wheeleraburg for the win. One win closer to evening the all-time record.

[Tjhtygeverve]

Good luck fighting tigers. May both have a great game and stay healthy. I've not read about either team. I just logged on to check score and realized it's a Saturday game. Busy summer at the mouse house!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]
