Iim glad to see some Lawrence County schools get a game like this. That hill at Rock Hill is no fun to climb up. The stadium is nice, the parking is not bad but that hill you have to climb, Ugh!!!!

Re: Wk 13: Wheelersburg vs, West Muskingum
The kids and coaching staff did a superb job against a good team. It makes me proud to know 2 southern Ohio teams in the regional finals. I love it when we show the teams up North that we can play this game also.

Re: Week 13 : #4 (9-2) Harvest Prep vs #1 (11-1) Ironton
I have been watching high school football longer than most of you are old. I've seen worse than last night. What gets me is this is a Christian school. Sure gave their school a bad name. Who is to blame, no doubt it goes on the head man. The coaching staff just gave World Harvest a bad name.

Re: Wk 14: (9-4) Wheelersburg vs. (12-1) Ironton
This game is going to be a slober knocker. Both teams have improved over that first game. I look at Wheelersburg and Ironton as more of a rivalry than Portsmouth and Ironton. Heard a rumor that these two will not meet next year. I certainly hope this is just s rumor. I think the score of this game w...

Re: Week 12 : #8 (8-3) Portsmouth @ #1 (10-1) Ironton
Block, tackle and take care of the football. Ironton had 4 turnovers in the first half against Worthington Christian. Can't do that against good teams. Ironton better come out with a chip on their shoulder. Portsmouth will take advantage of those costly turnovers.

Re: Ironton Hall of Fame
Then do we throw out Bob Lutz, Mike Bircham and Richard Gallgher I don't think so. Roger Zornes his last year was 26 and 1. Amy Hughes took our girls to the final four. One of her girls are in the Hall. Mandy Boykin. The names I threw out there were just suggestion. Wes McAfee played college ball at...

Re: Ironton Hall of Fame
I dont think the HOF commiittee makes it a priority. Very little time and energy is put into it. There are many that have not been mentioned for the HOF., Jimmy Morris, Heath Brownstead great running back. Gabe Lewis. All great football players for Ironton to just mention a few. As far as basketbal...

Re: Week 10 : (8-1) Ironton @ (7-2) Portsmouth
The State has this rivalry starting in 1902. This is not the right date. This game was first played in the 1890s. The OHSAA has Ironton starting football in 1902 and this is also wrong. Believe me I have passed this information along to the right people but as far as I know it hasn't been changed.

Re: Week 9 : (0-8) Gallia @ (7-1) Ironton
I want to congratulate Coach Pendleton on calling off the dogs very early. It got his younger players quite a few snaps and that was the thing to do. I thought the Gallia coach could but I'm not a coach so you must remember this man was playing very short handed. It took a lot of courage to even pla...

Re: Ironton Hall of Fame
What has happened to that honor. A lot of x athletes from Ironton should be on there. To many young ones on there at first.Should have been the older ones first. I have talked with some of those on the nominating committee and tried to get a few guys that have been left off the list of candidates. ...

Re: Week 10 : (8-1) Ironton @ (7-2) Portsmouth
I love this rivalry. If Ironton thinks the Trojans are going to roll over and play dead they are very wrong. This will be a battle from the beginning to the end. I promise if the Trojans pull this out I for one will be the first to congratulate them. Sure I hope the Tigers win but I'm not a sore los...

Re: Is this years Ironton Tigers the best ever Tiger Team?
I guess if I wasn't so lazy I could have looked up the 79 record as I have them all. I saw all their games that year even the playoff games. I even have a recording from WIRO of the Akron StVs championship game. A friend made it for me since I was at the game. The 1935 team was only one of eleven un...

Re: Is this years Ironton Tigers the best ever Tiger Team?
I'll give this another try. Posting from a phone so forgive the mistakes. Bob had several good teams. The 1979 team if I'm not mistaken lost 2 games. The 1989 team had a few transfers. As far as Jermon goes he only lasted the first quarter against Mentor Lake Catholic. He was one of the best backs t...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
Checking competitive balance points for area teams the State gave Wheelersburg 18 and Ironton 24. Those points are figured on the number of transfers and a very complicated rule. There was one team out of Columbus with a huge amount. May have been a private school.

I have a copy of the Ironton schedule but will not release it until I'm told it's OK. There is no Mooney on the schedule.

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
Those transfers were over several years and in more than one sport but one of them is there now. This is a school who never gets transfers. My nephew went to school there and started on the basketball team in the 7th grade. He sat the bench his 8th grade year due to transfers. I thought Ironton had ...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
The only team that don't have transfers are the ones with losing records. I know of one school in Scioto County that can brag that they have had 8 transfer from Ironton. In fact they have one now in basketball. The 8 transfers were in football, basketball, baseball, softball and soccer. The soccer t...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
With Ironton as it always has been during the pendleton area will be turnovers and dumb penalties.
