Re: Region 19
Ironton is much scarier with a healthy quarterback and is capable of winning the region. I don't know if their secondary has been tested against a really good qb in a throw first offense this year though. Did you watch the Moeller game. Moeller has 3 FBS offer pass catchers. #3 Brandon White who is...
Re: Region 19
I think Ironton is the best team. They have played the entire season hampered and everyone just loaded up to stop the run cause they were playing with a backup QB. Now that Carpenter is back, I think they will be very difficult to defend. Other than Moeller no one has been able to really move the ba...

Re: Week 6: Gallia Academy (2-1) @ Fairland (3-1)
What is going on at Gallia? Heard all kinds of rumors at Ironton game. Gallia had a few players there with one really big kid. Rumor going around the stands was the big kid was wanting to move to Ironton next year. How can a school that size with the recent success they’ve had struggle to even field...

Re: WK6 Ironton v Peake
[media][/media] After 4 tough weeks for ironton it’s nice to have 2 weeks of rest for kids. Ironton big 4 weeks? Ironton scrimmaged Waverly and Cabell Midland. Waverly is a very good D4 team who at that time was completely healthy and Midland is arguably the best team in WV. They’ve had 6 straight w...

Re: Ironton would defeat Burg convincingly a 2nd time also
Mind you one of those TOs was after Ironton forced a punt and it hit the guy blocking in the leg and they got the ball at the 6 yard line. After watching the replay of the game. Other than 2 long pass plays on a busted coverage by a young player seeing his first varsity minutes. Wheelersburg couldn...

Re: Best Team Ever In Southeastern Ohio
Ironton also is home to “MEAT” Boykin. Many of the old timers say was the greatest football player they’ve ever seen. Only guy I recall in history to go straight from HS ball to the NFL. Many say he was Jim Brown way before Jim Brown.

Re: Best Team Ever In Southeastern Ohio
Ironton in 1943 had George and Wes McCafee. George is one of the top 50 greatest players of all time. Pro Football Hall of famer. Played at Duke. Wes also played on the team and followed his brother to Duke and onto the NFL.

Re: Best team ever in Southeastern Ohio
1981 Ironton is the best team ever from SEO. All 4 in the backfield went D1. The team went undefeated and destroyed everyone they played. They didn’t make the playoffs because of the strike in Logan. That was the best team in Ironton history and I’ve seen them all.

No problem. Ironton. Got their QB and RB back this week. They could have scored literally every offensive play.

Ironton was up 36-0 with 9:30 left in 2nd qtr.LetsBeReal wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 1:12 am Not to many people really believe that. Ironton isn’t progressing or blowing the doors off bad teams. Wheelersburg was their highest point total so far. Needed a better showing against south point. The doubters will continue to grow.

Re: Irontons offense will be their achilles heel in playoffs
Pendleton has as many state championship appearances as Wheelersburg’s entire program since it started. He also has more appearances than all the other schools in Southern Ohio and he did it in 3 years with a program that was down and out when he got there. FACTS.

Re: Irontons offense will be their achilles heel in playoffs
Qb not in top 10 in area in passing No top 10 rushers in area Offense can barely score against a d6 ovc team. The offense will cost Ironton an early round playoff departure.

Re: Ironton vs. Waverly
It would be the most exciting game in the area this season with possibly a sell out crowd! But it would be a bad match up for Ironton. Waverly had a noticeable speed advantage in the scrimmage, and too many waverly receivers running open in the secondary. Ironton needs a game like this to prepare f...

I was told it will be a lot like Logan’s facility. Love the idea of the Hall of fame. The town will love that. Heard this facility will also have indoor hitting areas for baseball/softball. A 10,000 square foot weight room possibly used as a community wellness center as well. The facility will also ...
