Ironton has the #1 strength of schedule in D5. Wheelersburg and Midland has drug that down. They have blown everyone out but Clarkson North who no one in D5 would even schedule let alone beat. Jealousy and hatred is an awful thing in the land of Milk and Honey. Liberty center has played no one good. Liberty Center hasn’t even played a Hartley. Who just about beat the #1 D3 team this past week in Bishop Watterson
As for “no one in D5 would schedule Clarkson North”, you do realize Harvest Prep scheduled Pick Central? Also scheduled Sandusky Perkins and Cincinnati LaSalle? That’s quite the schedule!
With regards to Hartley, yes they came within 15 points of Watterson, but also lost by 31 points to Ursuline. They even gave up 28 points to 1-5 Elyria Catholic. Will probably finish below .500.
So yes, Ironton has a very good team and a great shot at state, but they aren’t the only team playing tough schedules. Definitely do not appear to have the toughest schedule even in D5.
Week 7: (5-1) Ironton @ (1-4) Pikeville KY

Yes, Ironton being #1 in the region is a reflection of their schedule. Whereas 10-0 Barnesville is #3 because their schedule wasn’t nearly as tough.TigerBob wrote: Sat Oct 26, 2024 7:26 amCircling back here. Ironton now 1st in the state in computer points.

Now your argument could be made about HP sitting at #4, or even Burg sitting at #14, but two teams with identical records? Computer points tend to be a strong indication of schedule.

Well Ironton wasn’t blowing away teams unfortunately. Won 55-0 in a nailbiter.

Who was the r19 program that gave up 92 points in 2 games vs The Champs?

God please let me live long enough to see Ironton defeat the mighty Harvest Prep!BurgFan43 wrote: Thu Oct 03, 2024 6:19 pm Prep has an open week this week but here you are going to a 1-4 small school in Kentucky. Prep has shown they are scared of anyone with their schedule.
