Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

Ironton played one of the best schedules this year bar none for a reason. I don’t care if Burg was 100 percent they were as going to lose that game maybe not by 55 points maybe by 41 regardless they was going to get beat. Burg played a tough schedule and they was there at the end with Jackson and P...

Ironton and Prep were legit

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

Agreed...but JP not leaving Ironton unless it for the right head coaching position. He already turned down Portsmouth ND job a couple of years back. And conflicting accounts as to whether he was interested in the Minford opening last offseason.* I don’t think he was interested in Minford. I guess o...

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

Oh sure, Pendleton made Terry the athlete that he is. Had nothing to do with the fact that Terry came from the same bloodline as OJ Mayo. 🤦‍♂️ Put this into perspective: take every state title team that Kirtland and ML have produced. All of those teams combined have less D1 talent than this year’s ...

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

You seem to have forgotten that the current Burg coaching staff has won a state title and a number of regional titles without a single D1 player. When has Pendleton taken IHS to a regional title and state title without D1 talent? There has been plenty of Pirates the last 5-6 years who should’ve pla...

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

That’s a fair opinion for a comment but my point was Pendleton is working with a loaded deck. He’s got the Ferrari this year. All he has to do is keep it tuned up. I mean how many coaches would love to have Terry on their team? Schreck? Johnson? A senior d and o line? I mean I’m sure coach is glad ...

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

No one is not giving him credit. The results are obvious. But saying other coaches don’t work their kids to be the best athletes they can be is insulting. Heck burg brings the national guard in every year for a boot camp week. RBH23 is right. Pendleton couldn't walk into northwest and get the same ...

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

Oh good grief you have no idea what you are talking about. Swap rosters, and Pendleton’s team gets thumped regardless of how many hours he puts in. Ironton has D1 talent that no D5 school in Ohio has ever possessed. That’s why they are winning. That and an OC who knows how to plan and run an offens...

This is ridiculous: First, you have zero idea if that’s true. You cannot honestly say how hard other coaches work.

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

I’m sure Pendleton works hard. All the local coaches do but let’s be honest, he’s sitting on a gold mine this year. This Ironton offense is one of the best I’ve seen if not the best. So many weapons and then they have a superstar. It’s been pretty much unstoppable. That means the coaches can be sup...

Re: Logan HC Out

Okay. We’re getting somewhere now! I agree with the fact that they are very close in proximity to those teams. NY and Athens would be old seoal foes. As well as Wellston and Meigs. There’s no doubt the gates would improve with Logan as a member of the TVC Ohio but what good would it do Logan to win...

Re: Logan HC Out

You may be right but it wasn’t 15 years ago that logan would’ve laughed at playing in the TVC. Traditionally a great program and much larger. What would Logan get out of the TVC besides a winning record? They would get minimal playoff points and never be ready for D2 teams in the playoffs. They wou...

Re: Logan HC Out

This would be the only way Logan would ever be considered for the TVC. A mass influx of teams. Logan would never have a chance of getting into the TVC on their own. They finished 2024 with a 1-9 record and beat the TVC Ohio champs pretty easily. A large addition would be the only way anyone in the ...

Re: Logan HC Out

I know it has been discussed a million times but this is where the TVC needs to be more proactive. They have to realize that other leagues are looking at their members (and maybe their members are looking elsewhere) and get Logan, Warren, Marietta and others into the league for everyone's sake.

Re: Week 15 : #2 (13-1) West Liberty Salem vs #1 (13-1) Ironton

One of the biggest strengths that Ironton has that many people don’t talk about is depth, Ironton can rotate guys in key positions to keep guys healthy and fresh. The 2 inside LBs only play defense and the DL & DBs rotate guys to stay fresh. Ironton also has 3 great RBs that stay fresh and they...
