The battle in the trenches this game could end up being quite the show!

Would love to see West get the W, but my gut is telling me 21-14 Ironton. Game will likely be played at Portsmouth.

You guys mention college and professional playoffs, and I honestly don't know why.. This is HS, these are kids, there's more to life than just winning (don't take that comment so serious) I feel like you are viewing it soley from a competitive standpoint, and pushing for quality games and trust me I...

7 and 8 seeds with losing records is an interesting stat when it comes to the debate on expanded playoffs.

Defensive and special teams TDs have came up big for Portsmouth a few times this season, feel like they're gonna need another one to have a chance against Ironton. No matter how well Trojans play offensively, Ironton's defense will only allow so much.

This game likely comes down to how well West can defend the pass, and if CA can handle Sissel.. whichever gives more will determine the outcome.

2 seed took a loss, 3 seed took a loss, and quite a few 4 seeds took a loss.

These numbers show that the format isn't a waste of time, at least 43 teams proved the haters wrong. If someone thinks avoiding blowouts for a week is more important than giving teams like these a shot, then you are no true sports fan in my eyes.

They use brackets.

What makes you think this? Portsmouth has gotten so much better in 1 week and Ironton has lost their way? Lost their way? That's extreme lol but just look at last season.. week 10 Ironton wins 36-9 then week 12 they only win 17-6. It's not a crazy thing to assume the score will be closer, and I def...

Spectrum reports 32-28 Union Local?

Not sure why, but the final score was 28-26 Portsmouth.

Much closer than last week is all I know.

Ironton is definitely the clear favorite, but I have a hunch the score won't be like it was last week.

Trojans move on!!

Trojans move on!!
Portsmouth 28
Union Local 26

Portsmouth travels to Ironton for a rematch next week.
