Re: Heath @ Ironton

Lutz had a losing record vs NEO also. They've always had Irontons number. Big difference from then to now: 1. Lutz rarely got blown out. Only exception was the loaded MLC team. Pendleton hasn’t seen a team like that, including Moeller. 2. Lutz had talented teams but often played against teams with ...

Didn't someone else from a Portsmouth HS have a pretty good career at UT? wink-wink

Re: 2022 Ohio State Football Off-Season Thread.

I'm curious what people think Reid Carrico's chances are of getting some non mop-up playing time this year.

Re: D5 R19 Finals - Ridgewood (9-0) @ Ironton (9-0)

From what I understand, they weren’t without him the whole game. As far as beating my beloved Hornets go, he was non existent last year. What did he have? Little over 30 yards. No knock on Ironton. It’s what we do. And beating prep without him is sure a possibility You keep saying that but what imp...

IMHO turnovers will decide who wins.

Re: IRONTON/BURG : SEO's POST SEASON STANDARD BEARER'S

One could add add another appearance for Ironton or at least an asterix. Most people forget that the state made (and admitted to) a calculation error in 72/73 which was both the first year of the playoffs and Lutz' first year. As I recall, this let Uniontown Lake into the playoffs when it should hav...

Re: The OVC in 2020-2021

Here are my very early predictions on how the Ohio Valley Conference will turn out in 2020-2021, with each school's last 5 year OVC record: 1. Fairland (68-2)......the Dragons once again are the prohibitive favorite, with only 1 senior on their entire roster. FHS has won the OVC 5 years in a row, a...

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Kirtland was in the weight room Sunday according to an article I read. They have a full time paid strength/conditioning coach that has the weight room open every morning and the whole team is there working out. This is a very big reason for their success. The Tigers lost that work ethic for a few y...

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Big congratulations to Ironton on an epic season that we old farts followed closely from near and far. I played on the ’73 runner-up team so I feel your pain but just as that was the beginning of bigger things to come, so was this. I have to fess up that I predicted the Ironton passing game would be...

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

This Ironton team is just different .. this game will not be to big for them , everyone says it started with the Ashland loss I think it started at the Gallia academy game yes they was over rated but the team didn’t know that they absolutely dominated that game from the whistle and I know they hear...

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

First post. Most posters seem to think this game will be strictly power vs power and nobody is talking about Ironton's passing offense (and defense) which may very well be the difference in the outcome. Kirtland seems like the old Ironton that had a great very disciplined running attack but somewhat...
