Ironton will face Flora MacDonald Academy out of Red Springs, NC at 7:30pm on February 1. The game will be played at Spring Valley High School as part of the Huntington Prep Tri-State Hoops Classic. MacDonald is the defending 1A state champ for the NCISAA, although the school was declared ineligible...

It will be interesting to see if this group of Tigers can throw off the hoodoo voodoo that has hexed them when it comes to Portsmouth games. From the upset loss in Portsmouth of the SEOAL champ Tigers in 2010, to the embarassing beatdown the vet Trojans inflicted at Ironton in 2011, to last year's e...

Centennial brings a seasoned, senior-laden team to Ironton Saturday night, featuring 4 double figure scorers: Boo Osborne (17ppg), CJ Stephens (11ppg), Gyai Gyamerah (10ppg), and Christian Cumberlander (13ppg). Osborne is the most heralded of the bunch, having been rated the 8th best shooting guard ...

54-46 Ironton.

Should be an interesting night of basketball. Ironton has the horses to win this road test, but if the Tigers show up bored, look out. The Indians would love to avenge getting Malcolm Mortonized in overtime a few years ago at the Convo.

Anyone who thinks this game will be an Ironton blowout doesn't remember last year's game at Valley. Valley had the Tigers on the ropes for much of the second half, before faltering late. You may also recall that Valley, not Ironton, gave Portsmouth it biggest Southeast District/Region scare before l...

This Ironton team was vastly overscheduled. The Tigers don't have the number of bodies to stand up to playing much bigger schools week-in and week-out. For example, Johnson Central is bigger than any school in southeastern Ohio except Lancaster, Logan, and Marietta. The parochial schools in Columbus...

Above schedule has been updated. Thanks, ft45.

Yes, it is disappointing that Coach Ryan Davis' Chesapeake Panthers would not schedule Ironton this year, especially after all of the great matchups between these teams over the past decade. It is an exciting 2012-2013 slate, punctuated by what appears to be an out-of-state post-Christmas tourney. I...

The bottom line is that the Tigers are playing hard, it just becomes a numbers game at some point. My view is that Ironton has enough good players to compete with teams in our area quite well. But when you step up into the class of some of the big city parochial schools, or even some of the larger p...

The 2012 Trojans were a very fine team, Dave. They did not have a superstar, but they meshed very well together and played with good chemistry. Plus, they were willing to guard people.I think that in a head-to-head matchup, the 2012 Trojans would beat the 2009 Oak Hill squad. I just felt that I had ...

Some good observations,Dave. The 2005 Ironton team featured a couple of kids that played in Division I (Waginger at W. Carolina and Gagai at WVU before he transferred to Northern Kentucky, a D-II program). It also had a D-I football player in Marcus Williams at Ohio State, and a very talented big ma...

In the game at Ashland in 2011, the penalty yards were: Ashland 5-30 Ironton 6-52 My point here is not to say that Ironton lost in 2011 because of penalties; turnovers were the story in that game. The point is this: there is not that much difference in how the game is being called on either side of ...

Ashland was flagged 7 times for 69 yards, and Ironton was flagged 6 times for 55 yards. That hardly constitutes the Rape of Nanking. I was at the game and did not catch the play-by-play broadcast on 97.1, but I did listen to Coach Hart on the postgame show. Overall I was favorably impressed by his c...

Ironton can score, but can they stop anybody? Turnovers were the difference in the Burg contest. If Russell does not put it on the ground and starts stringing together first downs, then it could be a tough night for the Fighting Tigers in the Bluegrass State. Bet the over.

Carlito- Ironton has created some ill will by leaving the SEOAL a second time, and it will take an expert diplomatic effort to get back into the good graces of some of those old line schools. That is just a fact. But it is also a fact that Ironton needs to be in a conference in today's high school s...

There are no college football games on the weekend of August 24-25.

The Lutz offense was an institution that served Ironton well over all or parts of five decades. Obviously, Lutz's coaching record speaks for itself, and that offense was an integral part of of his ultra-successful tenure. It can still be used as the core of a very successful high school program IMO....

What will be different for Jayllen Carter this year is that defenses will be geared more toward stopping him. He will no longer be the third or fourth option on a very good team. How he adjusts his game to become the "main guy" will determine if he is a Top 5 player in SEO. That's not to s...
