The Ironton Fighting Tigers, a member of the OVC, just became the first member of the OVC to win a state championship in any sport. Oh I forgot, the football program was kicked out of the conference. So it goes. Maybe the lady Trojans from Portsmouth can win the conference a state championship in ba...

This Friday will be the 134th time Ironton and Portsmouth have played. Only one game in the series has gone into overtime. The 1992 game, where Portsmouth took a 14-0 lead midway through the 3rd quarter. Then Jermon Jackson took over. He returned a kickoff for a TD in the 3rd, then ran off right tac...

Lost to Ironton 50-6 in 1991 (Jermon Jackson was unstoppable). And when every team made playoffs in 2020, lost to Wellston 42-8.

Ironton 61-35
Dawson Bryant 12-14
Portsmouth 10-14
Gallia 8-15
Fairland 5-7
Chesapeake 3-11
Rock Hill. 1-6
South Point. 0-2

I am hoping South Point can finally get a playoff win this
Year.

I thought good sportsmanship was shown by both coaching staffs and players. Coaches and players from both teams went out of their way to talk to players they thought played a tough/good game. This fairland team isn’t as talented as the past two year. But they aren’t scared to play teams and will get...

I can’t make it to the game tonight due to work. Is the game being show online? If so any idea what where?

When Burg and Ironton people take shots at each other, it’s like a rat calling an opossum a long tailed son of a gun. There is enough room for both schools. Each school will continue to dominate their respective county for years to come. Good luck to both teams next year. Hoping the Burg beats Harve...

On a Saturday? Even better, will be a good crowd. This should happen ever year.

Congrats Coach Lucas.

I’m a fan of the OVC. But Fairland’s coach got out witted tonight. So it goes. On to basketball

IHS and PHS having been playing football since 1902. This Friday will be the 131st meeting, with Ironton holding a sight edge with 62 wins, 61 losses, and 7 ties. Ironton has averaged 17.43 points and Portsmouth 17.78 points over the past 130 contests. The have played every year since 1902, with the...

I heard Huntington St Joe was starting a football team in 2024. Maybe some of the OVC teams would be interested in forming a league with HSJ.

I’ve always had respect for Portsmouth. No matter if they had a great team or just a fair team, they were never scared to play and always gave it their best shot. Heck, they even agreed to play my Tigers twice in a season just so both teams could fill 10 games. Great win tonight. Looking forward to ...
