For what it's worth, here are the results through 2004 (I'd consider this to be unofficial). If anyone wants to bring this forward to the present, Joe Eitel http://www.joeeitel.com/hsfoot/ has archives back to 2000 Ironton leads series 39-28-3 Years Winner Score 1919 Ashland (A) 28 3 1920 Ironton (H...

I second that emotion.

I think that's true. And now a lot of Ironton fans are thinking a Fighting Tiger win over Ashland is a given. The Tomcats are way better than their record indicates.

After reading 9+ pages of mostly nonsense, I suppose it's time for me to comment... :122245

I don't think I have ever predicted Ironton to lose, and I won't now.

However, regardless of how good this Burg team is, vs. last year, Ironton will need to be VASTLY improved in order to get a win.

Based upon what my illustrious sources have told me, Ironton should be good for a winning season and a return to the playoffs. I hope I'm wrong, but if there is a major stumbling block this season, it will be the coaching.

Tigertown.com (the official Ironton City Schools web site) has alumni info for each graduating class. I don't know where they got it, but I think it should be fairly accurate. I haven't checked every class to see which were the biggest, but I know 1968 was at least 206 and there were bigger ones tha...

Regarding Ironton's enrollment, I think it has been noted elsewhere on SEOP that Ironton is now graduating about ONE THIRD as many students as was the case when Bob Lutz started as head coach back in the early 70s. Does that make a difference? I say yes.

the high schools colors were always orange and black-----------it was the junior high that used to be maroon/grey.and the junior high team way back when was the warriors. I figured gray fighting tiger would be all over this question. and as always paladin, you're funnier than a kidney stone. and I'...

still think tiger eye like LSU would be better then tiger head. Or maybe a paw print. I don't particularly object to having a tiger head, but I don't like that tiger head. I've been told it will look better on the field than it does in the artist's rendering. I hope so. I posted this a while back.....

Highly unlikely in my view.

Here's an image I like


You're in the eye of the TIGER

I have a brochure / contribution form for the turf - conley center - sports endowment funds. The tiger head depicted on that is, in my opinion, a poor choice. But I guess it's an official image since it also appears on the home page of Tigertown.com (near the top).

Div. III Semifinal #2: Lima Central Catholic 63, Roger Bacon 44

According to the roster which appeared in the official game program... Ironton vs. Wheelersburg Seniors 20 Blake Taylor 28 Derik Berry 30 Trevor Easterling 46 Nick Ratliff 60 Justin Robinson 61 Josh Delawder 71 Adam Webb 77 Tyler Taylor 87 Bingham Dillow That's 9 seniors.

... Tracy Edwards, one of the longest-serving assistant coaches ever in the area, hopes to have a decision in front of him. He spent 27 seasons as part of the staff with McGlone. “I live and breathe Russell football and, if the opportunity arose, I would certainly be thrilled and for sure conside...

From what I have seen on the internet in years past.... Ironton's first game was in 1902. The first several seasons consisted of no more than 2 games each. 9 of the first 10 games were vs. Portsmouth. Ironton's first "real" season appears to be 1909, when the team under coach J. Boyd Davis...

Ditto that... thanks, TD.

I think it can be argued that some of Ironton's other teams since 2003 could beat Ironton's 2003 team.

according to ky site these 2 teams have only played 2 times 1950,1966 with ironton winning both 18-0, 24-18!!! they are expecting there biggest crowd ever for this game. week 10 is irontons SUPER BOWL, if there is a week 11 we will be huge underdogs. I hope everyone comes out to support these tiger...

Not sure of the math, but realistically speaking Ironton must win this game to have any chance of playing in week 11. Fighting Tiger trivia. . . . Ironton must win at least one more game to avoid suffering the fewest wins in a season since, I think, 1968 (1 - 7 - 2). I could be wrong, but I also thi...
