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

I wonder if Coach Mark Dantonio is allowed by recruiting rules to come to the game Saturday for physical support to one of his old players (coach Pendleton)??

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

We went to the HOF the day of the '73 state championship game vs Cleveland Benedictine. DIck Gallagher (former Tiger coach and Ironton Resident) was the HOF Director back then. He had a mannequin wearing a TANKS jersey as tribute. It would have been a great trip if the Tigers had won. Too bad so few...

Re: WK 11: Wellston (7-3) @ Ironton (9-1)

Does OHSAA take over all media for games or will the Ironton streaming system still carry the 1230 radio broadcast?

Re: Turf causing the injuries?

Oh, I forgot, the real reason injuries are higher today is speed. Back in my day of the late 60's early 70's, Offensive linemen were 155-205 pounds. they ran 40's in about 5.0 seconds Today O-Line runs 200-275 and run the 40 in sub 5.0 times Force is Mass times Velocity squared. so the force in a ta...
