2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

[mustard]

With Ironton as it always has been during the pendleton area will be turnovers and dumb penalties.

There are not many Southetn Ohio teams who don't make turnovers and penalties and still have the same record as Coach Pendleton. How many active coaches can say they are 67 and 13 with 5 of those losses in the first year. 3 State runnerups in the last 4 years.

… how many active coaches have had em ova 20 transfers in the last 4 yrs…with none in that 1st year…..

Only the smart ones. Coach Lutz always said if you have an outstanding program they will come. Get used to it there will always be transfers to a good program.

I was looking at Lutz and Pendletons records and for the first 6 years at Ironton they are about the same. Lutz has a little bit better win percentage but not by much. Pendleton on the other had has a way better playoff record in that length of time.

Cabell Midland had like 20 new kids last year. Ashland and Raceland have more kids move in than Ironton ever dreamed of. The only reason you see a problem with it is your from SEO where your behind in the times compared to everywhere else and sports isn’t that important. Kids in SEO don’t move around like the rest of the state or other tri state does. True Story!

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 transfer was from St Joe but that is still Ironton. Hard telling how many they have from other schools.

Every school has received transfers. Not one school in existence has gotten zero transfers over a period of time. Families do move in and out of school districts all the time. So saying only schools with losing records don’t get transfers. That’s not true. They get transfers as well.

As for the school that has received 8 transfers from Ironton, over how many years were those transfers?

[RiverRatRay]

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 more than 20 transfers in 4 years. They aren't as successful as I thought they were. Good coaches draw transfers especially those coaches that get them a free education at the next level.

Let’s try this again. How many specific years for those 8 Ironton kids to transfer to said school? Over enough years, every school in the area has had eight kids transfer to all other schools.

Also, in your nephews case, how many transfers came in to knock him out of the starting lineup?

Bingo!!!!

Reading seops is like a 1980s psy op. These old gray sour angry birds can't adapt to change which is a big reason why seo is a dump per demographics. Because.progress and change are sins in the land that time forgot. There's a funny old saying that originated on social media for this. > OK, BOOMER. As in: "papaw is just yapping but none of what he is saying amounts to anything cause "papaw" is out of touch, equally, in practice and perspective. Matter fact seops could use more younger perspectives and could stand to lose a lot of the old outdated nonsense. Lol

So ya family member sat the bench cause he was a weak player. If he wasn't the transferred wouldn't have mattered. Sadly you are crippling the kid psychologically so moving fwd those mentally tough kids from the city will dunk on him and take his gf.

Ironton's schedule is tough Transfers or not but you have to give them credit they are doing what others are not doing scheduling up to be ready to win it all.
they may go 5-5 or 8-2 it don't matter they will be battle tested.
I hope the best for them and hope for a long run and a championship at the end at least they are trying transfers or not

Over the past 5+ years, it’s been stated multiple times that Ironton’s losses at state are partially due to not being prepared to play teams of that caliber because of IHS’ weaker regular season schedule.

Well, no one can make that claim this year. IHS’ schedule will be the most difficult of any D5 school, and it’s not even close. Will be interesting to see how this plays out come playoffs.

Takes time to build a team a schedule getting out of the OVC helps that will it pay dividends only time will tell

Ironton football is ambitious. The only people mad at ambition are the people and "programs" that fall behind as life progresses and changes.

True. Most talented. But most difficult path. Ambition is a great thing to see in seo in any aspect.

Ambition is great if it produces results. Blind ambition can be dangerous.
