martin's ferry's only loss was to unbeaten st. clairsville. but martin's ferry has only beaten 2 teams with winning records this year. so hard to figure , they did not get to 9-1 by accident. but I think the fighting tigers are more battle tested to this point.
I would think the fighting tigers should be a favorite at home.

I think this will be a lot closer game than most think it will. MF will be coming to play. Want to see those Tigers win, hoping they will get to play the Burg again.

[wobycat]

This is a winnable game for martins ferry, but I think Palladino will have a good game. 35-28 tigers.

[Trojan_Pride]

if ironton comes to play this game will not be close!!!

TIGERS 35-14

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Ferry shocks this site and post a 13 point win.

[79Tiger]

Ironton has a history with Martins Ferry. Coach Bob Bruney is from Martins Ferry. He coached the I Tigers from the mid 60's until the 1971 season when they went 9-1 with players like of Hal Spears, Rick Boykin, Bobby Smith, Jim Payne, Dick Fisher, Davis Malone and Mike Albrink. He returned to his alma mater as head coach and later as athletic director. The 1978 Tigers traveled to Martins Ferry for a scrimmage game that included a cookout etc. They came to Ironton in 1979 and we returned the favor. When two historic river towns meet, anything goes. I like the Tigers in this one primarily because of the home field advantage.

[athens78]

MF as Ironton fails again in the playoffs

[Tigercannon71]

Tigers take this one. It'll be close, but Tigers are to much for Martins Ferry.

[siderman57]

if ironton comes to play this game will not be close!!!

TIGERS 35-14

IF Ironton comes to play and I hope they do... It will be a close game...

[fbnut]

Stclsville usually plays pretty good ball and they beat ferry 21-14. As long as that wasn't a 21-0 score until a couple garbage time tds late then I am guessing ferry is pretty tough. Advantage Ironton though being at home, highschool kids usually don't do well when they travel that far.

[maniac66]

Ironton comes out strong and in control and wears MF down and wins 27-13 close game till half and Ironton pulls away wearing them down.

[Ironman92]

Good luck to Ironton.

[piratepride86]

Congrats on the season Good luck Ironton.

27-13 FIGHTING TIGERS !! That 4 hour bus ride takes a little zip outta MF.
Has MF played a pound the ball team? If so, how'd they do?
What's their MO? Running,passing or a mix?
GO TIGERS!!

GO TIGERS!!

Already been on a couple of those extended bus journeys so not an issue!!! Most teams up here are pound the ball teams so that's not an issue!!!! We are a mixed "big play" offense but out of the basic 3 or 4 run sets!!! Scoring can come quickly or we can drive it down the field and use up some clock!!! Arjay Burris RB has a little over 1700 yds rushing so he's a decent threat !!!! But the defense is the real deal here rock solid!!! After spotting St. Clairsville 14 in like 58 seconds we proceeded to just stonewall them for the rest of the game!!!! If Ironton is their usual tough bunch this will be a close and interesting game!!!!
