From the film I've seen on Gallia, I'd say Ashland, Russell, and Wheelersburg are the best teams Ironton have faced this year, in that order. Gallia will come in at #4. Gallia is well coached and has a couple of really good athletes but they won't be enough.

Russell is better than many believe and I hope our youngsters don't take them lightly. That said, I'll take the Fighting Tigers in this one...28-10.

I just realized, no-1 is mentioning Reid Carrico, The highly recruited Junior from Ironton. He was getting a lot of forum chatter prior to this scrimmage. Junior Jones, kinda emerged as the Fighting Tiger folks brought up. Reid didn’t see the field in the OVC jamboree. How Did he play in the scrimm...

No offers that I know of yet but if he keeps it up they will come.

Junior Jones is #2

Ironton needs to find about 2 more receivers who will catch the football. Way too many great throws dropped tonight and it’s not getting any better. Other than the bad drops, the Tigers looked for real. Junior Jones was a man amongst young men tonight. Good luck blocking that front 3 this year.

That’s a good looking bunch, Carpenter scored the TD in the OVC previews didn’t he? He had some good throws too that should have been caught. Yes, Carpenter scored the TD on a QB sneak. He had several dropped balls last night and had a great throw where a WR ran the wrong route and interfered with ...

Yes, same group. Burg scored with about 2 minutes to go to beat Ironton 12-8. Both schools had very talented, hard nosed kids who play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. Valley’s 8th grade was good as well but I wouldn’t put them on Burg or Ironton’s level.

Carpenter #44, Carter #28, Barnes #30, and Wilson #24 all have bright futures from Ironton's 2023 class. That’s a good looking bunch, Carpenter scored the TD in the OVC previews didn’t he?

I believe that a full house backfield would consist of Carrico, Fosson, and Jones with Deere giving Carrico a breather when needed.

We’re hoping, thanks!

Good luck next week!

I agree with your ole pal. Your 8th next year will certainly be a team to be reckoned with.

Ironton. Your 8th grade next year will be nasty, your 7th just couldn’t play with our 8th. It was a big difference in speed.

Ironton 8th 20
Gallia 8th 0

Ironton 8th 20 Gallia 8th 0 Gallia had 1 first down until our 7th graders came in with 2:00 to go in the game. Ironton had numerous penalties and 2 turnovers which should’ve kept Gallia in the game but they couldn’t move the ball. Ironton’s defense was just much faster than anyone Gallia had. I’ve h...

This game won't be close. Again, I watched Gallia play Peake and Rock Hill. Ironton is on a completely different level from Gallia. This one will be over in a hurry.
