Good call, sprinter14. Probably a combination of both: unsure of what to do as a freshman and polite treatment of vanquished opponent, a classy act by a young man who will no doubt be a positive contributor to Ironton success in future contests. Great game. As for the other comments about conduct at...

I don't know if I remember an Ironton player in recent memory (last twenty or so years) hitting a clutch shot with time running out to win a tournament game, particulary one at the Convo. Ironton has certainly lost their share of tournament games to last- second heroics. Intensity was very palatable...

Palmer stunk it up. I can see the thought on receivers missing routes, but all of them? High and behind seemed to account for half of Palmer's passes, but he lost lots of points on leadership in playoff situation. Sanchez ate Palmer's lunch. Shayne Graham should have kicked in his last game for Cinc...

Old school: I think Ironton played and defeated Coshocton in 1987 in the playoffs at Peden Stadium at Ohio University. Without resorting to irontonfootball.com, do I also remember Ironton playing and defeating Coshocton in their 1989 title run? Not relevant to this year's matchup, but there is a pla...

Ironton had enough big plays on both sides of the ball to win the game in OT vs. Heath. I think the Gresham youngster (#25) for Heath was hurt late in regulation and couldn't run or cut as well as he had earlier in the game. He fell down fielding Ironton's last punt in regulation and was smothered o...

Hearing that 99.3 is covering both the Wheelersburg and the Oak Hill
playoff games on radio Friday. Burg on 99.3 and Oak Hill on (107.5)(?)
Maybe the web?

3-6-1. 3-6-1. 3-6-1. Number One alltime in Ohio high schooll football. An awesome achievement by Head Coach Bob Lutz. Tons of great players. Lots of dedicated coaching man hours. Truckloads of memorable plays and games. A venerable football stadium to serve as home field in Ironton. One man the comm...

Don't "local" stories such as Coach Lutz tying the state record for high school football wins get "picked up" by the "wire services" (outdated reference)? Coudn't one of Jim Walker's stories on the subject from the Ironton Tribune be forwarded to major news services, at...

I think, after Carlos Snow ripped through Ironton in 1984, Snow did not score in his last two games vs. Ironton. Ironton lost at C.A.P.E. in 1985, but kept Snow out of the end zone. Same again in 1986, but Ironton wins this game in epic fashion. Met Earle Bruce ten years later as he was in line for ...

Pre-game dining can also be had enroute: choice of two Buffalo Wild Wings...one in Portsmouth, south on U.S. 23 into downtown Portsmouth or off east U.S. 52 in Ironton at the State Route 93 interchange (in the Ironton Hills shopping center). Bon apetit! Hope you enjoy your visit to Putnam Stadium in...

"Don't know much about Wav-er-ley" (to the tune of 'Wonderful World'), but Ashland Paul Blazer's biggest obstacle may be their own psyche... coming back down from the clouds after beating Ironton for first time since George H.W. Bush was President is the challenge for prepping for Waverly....

Pryor might want to think about posting 'Matt' and 'Barkley" on his sun glare grease. The freshman USC quarterback took Pryor to school last night. Pryor didn't show much; Barkley grew with confidence as the game played out. One touchdown drive vs. a team like USC won't get it done...and it did...

Playing for field position, kicking field goals and asking your defense to lock down the opposition is fine vs. Northwestern or Indiana, but when the other team (USC) has playmakers and you sit back defensively to allow a freshman quarterback make like John Elway and drive the ball down your throat,...

Two big time coaches at two big time programs cost their teams games
their teams had won Saturday: Charlie Weiss and Jim Tressel.

"Playing hard" is not acceptable. You let USC come in with a freshman quarterback, on your home turf, drive the ball right down your defensive throat and get outcoached almost the entire game, even when you were ahead. Win ten games, win the league, beat Michigan in the process (did you se...

Radio says game numbers:

Total offense: PHS 227 yards West 207 yards

Penalties: PHS 10-71 yards; West 8-65 yards

First Downs: PHS 15 West 10

Think Meyers of PHS (QB) was 10-16 for 135 yards.
Ratliff of West (QB) was 1-6 for I think, 16 yards.

Did not get additional individual numbers.

Victory formation for Portsmouth. Time running out.
No more West time outs. 21-20, Portsmouth.

Portsmouth 21
Portsmouth West 20

Final.
