This Ironton team seemed very focused today. They looked like they were going on a business trip.

The Ironton football team left this morning for Canton. Two video clips below from the big sendoff.

Go Tigers!

Only in a small city would you see a tribute like this one to a high school player. Way to go Shaun!

Shaun is one of the nicest young men you will ever meet.

There are other videos from this event on the YouTube channel.

Congratulations, Shaun!

'Best ever' is tough to say. I would put the undefeated 1935 Ironton team up there. George McAfee (Pro Football HOF) was on that team. His brother, Wes, was on that team. He also played in the NFL. The 1978 team at Ironton was dominant, and likely the best team that I have personally seen. Only a te...

Here is what you are missing back in your hometown, Tjhtygeverve.

Thanks Tjhtygeverve

I only put links for two clips from the game on here. There are more clips online. Just click on my feed from one of the clips.

Champions Walk with former OSU Buckeye Marcus Williams, who addressed the Ironton team before the game.

Yes, this is a football town!!!

Great win against a solid opponent from the big city in Franklin County.

Hats off to Ironton's Brycen Mullens on a monster game. He ripped the ball away from a runner for a fumble recovery. He made a diving interception on the old tipped-ball drill. He later got a pick-six. Nothing like three turnover recoveries by one player. Here is the Champions Walk before the game. ...

Kayden Edwards on his long TD run. Please note how long he held the ball in the arms of his RB before pulling it back and taking off down the field.

He even fooled the camera guy for a second or two. LOL

I just tossed two more videos online. Champions Walk and a pregame look at the stadium. See my YouTube link above

Ironton defeated Archbold in the Final Four when Roger Zornes was basketball coach at Ironton. Tigers lost to O.J. Mayo in the final.

Lynn Schrickel was a volunteer coach for football at Archbold in 2022. Quite an Ironton football tie there!

Thanks Tjhtygeverve. Keep the orange and black flag flying down in Florida!

The new scoreboard was getting its remaining panels on the street side while I was up there. https://youtu.be/vG8jTZJC3hI?si=LrS45oc35iujm1Tw https://youtube.com/shorts/aXB-9QBfscQ?si=2DvXL4Sd-tVPFGRk Posters of senior athletes, cheerleaders, and band members were also being put up. Stadium is looki...

Ken was one of the greatest players in the long history of the now-defunct S.E.O.A.L. Co-MVP of the league his senior year, a great honor for a guard-LB.

Here is a lengthy tribute story to Ken Fritz, Ohio State's All-American guard in 1979.

I read the so-called controversial newspaper story. I saw nothing wrong with his analogy. Walker also lumped in all the the losses in the finals under Coach Lutz, so it was not an attack on the current staff or team. Why would people think Jim Walker hates Ironton High? His kids all graduated from I...

I just watched Sportscenter. ESPN had the kickoff return by Perkins as the number one play of the day.
