Could Ironton be competitive with any team in the state?

[greygoose]

I think so.

HECK NO, they've had the transfer thing going for a few years now and can't beat DV schools for state and you want to ask a crazy question on if they could compete with anyone in the state. WOW

Ironton prep can't win a d5 title with multiple states represented on their roster. Pump the brakes.

They may lead the state with most states represented on their roster

Now that’s funny

Most of you people are delusional and ignorant. Ironton would compete with just about every school in Ohio - minus the obvious D1 and top D2 schools. They are that good.. it gets tough when you include the other divisions.
I say this, though. If they win the title, it will likely be a legitimate and deserved STATE TITLE...unlike like the burg's. The burgites didn't play a single MAC school or Kirkland. They'd have been destroyed by any of those teams.

It's Kirtland. Not Kirkland. Welcome a board freshman.

So your saying IF Ironton gets out of the region, and IF they win state, it will be illegitimate IF they don't play Versailles?

It wasn't a MAC school that whooped the dog crap out of Ironton last time they were in the state title game and they didn't have to go through Kirtland that year either, best fact check yourself on some things. Last time I checked when Ironton stepped on the field with Kirtland they were destroyed there also with a running clock in the state championship game. LOL. Burg's title is legit you can look it up it's in the books, Ironton didn't have to play a single MAC school or Kirtland on their last state title run and they still came home with that tail tucked as South Range had over 550 yards of offense. See you gotta fact check these things before you open a can of worms you know nothing about.

Kind of odd this year where the good teams aren't D1

[Jason Vorhees]

Whomever said that Ironton would win the MAC this year is clearly smoking something that I don’t want to be on. Marion Local is the crème de la crème not just in Ohio but in the United States.

Marion Local has won 52 Consecutive Games. They’ve been running roughshod over teams and have been giving up less than 4 points per game in the last 15 games alone.

Some of y’all are delusional but let’s look at a comparison for Strength of Schedule this year and do a side by side comparison since 2000.

Marion Local Strength of Schedule this year:
1 of 104 in D7
Chances to win region 28:
93%
Chances to win State in D7:
84%

Ironton Strength of Schedule this year:
3 of 106 in DV
Chances to win Region 19:
86%
Chances to win State in DV:
56%

The reason I mention all of this is that another team that Ironton may face (if they get to the state semifinals or finals) is Versailles. Versailles is predicted to lose by 29 this week to Marion Local.

Here’s a W-L comparison since 2000 with State Championships:

Ironton
W-212
L-80
Playoffs: 34-21
State Championships: 0
State Runner Up: 3

Marion Local:
W-305
L-42
Playoffs: 92-8
State Championships: 13
State Runner Up: 3

Simply put, they’re in a class their own.

[artisgilmore]

Ironton is legit. Would win the MAC. But they will have to struggle to win the championship even though they are the favorites in my opinion

e
Thanks Woby for having my back.Naysayers,I said competitive,not that they would always win.Read the topic.

SOFTburg is a joke now. The joke of this platform. Horrible. No heart or guts vs teams in their own region. Running from rivals & comp in their region. Get off the football thread & go find the volleyball thread or something burg is good at. No heart. Lmao. Bumburg. Lmao

Fortunately Ironton won’t have to play ML. But too bad for those D7 teams that do.

As for Ironton, I would definitely rank them in the top 25 right next to where Ursuline is ranked. That’s good company. So definitely can play with and beat the vast majority of Ohio teams, but not cracking the top 10.

This is the same debate I recall with Burg in 2017. Some fans had delusions of grandeur thinking Burg could play with anyone. Of course that Burg team was good and finished in the top 25, however, ML finished 11th with arguably one of their best teams ever. They would have beaten Burg like a rented mule.
