Ironton(7) @ (28)Coal Grove

Buckeyefan55, you do realize the past few years Ironton still resembles the Browns in a lot of ways other than the uniforms lol?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

IF...the biggest little word there is, Ironton wins out and makes the playoffs, will it be considered a successful season. Should they make postseason play as the #8 and have to play Wheelersburg, what then. Some people have gotten excited that Ironton has beaten SP, Peake and RH and assume they have “righted the ship” but seriously, does anyone honestly believe Ironton has a chance against Wheelersburg? Personally, I think the playoffs are not going to happen. They will be beaten by CG, coin toss with Gallia and will struggle mightily with Portsmouth.

Someone has to be the 8 seed, does anyone HONESTLY believe the 8 seed is going to beat Wheelersburg this year??? Making the Playoffs would be nice, that means we won out and ended up with a decent regular Season at 7-3.

I believe this should be a good game, hoping the Fighting Tigers come out on the winning side.

Forgive my hypocrisy but, an 8 seed Ironton beating a 1 isn’t so far fetched. I was a member of the 99 Ironton team that just barely snuck into the playoffs; 99 being the first season the regions expanded from 4 to 8 teams. We had been beaten by Belfry and DeSales in back-to-back weeks to finish 6-3 (open date week 8 I believe and lost to Burg week 1). I’m more than confident that no one outside Ironton gave us a chance yet, we rolled off 4 wins and just missed out on the state championship. The 99 team vs 17 are polar opposites and it’s hard to imagine any team in the area knocking of Wheelersburg but, then again, the post season is a new season and anything can happen. Just can’t count the chickens before they hatch...this team still has 3 important games to win.

that's what I was saying too.and I was basically speaking about the 99 team but that was a whole different era of ironton football.and I believed they could do it, I was at every game.and was at the state game as well.wonderfully exciting year. but those were different times all together.

GOOD LUCK TO THE FIGHTING TIGERS FRIDAY NIGHT AGAINST THE GROVE. I BELIEVE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

BESIDES THE TIGERS HAIN'T 0-5.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I still think I see no scenario where ironton wants anything else to do with burg this year. they are legitimate state championship contenders in d5 at this point. and are playing at a whole other level than ironton right now.

this should explain that. we don't even need to be talking anything about burg now. coal grove is the hand we are dealt this week, and they are legit.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

but to think burg has no transfers as well. you may be in la la land. but it is what it is.

Like I said in an earlier post, The Grove wins this game on the way to a 9-1 season and hosting a home playoff game.

Haha! That ain't right!

Ironton will continue to go the 2 best players on the team now to win, #7 and #44, and why? Because a job now depends on it!

Funny, how our Tiger's best talent lately is from transfers from other schools. Old habits are hard to break, I guess.

That's funny! That's what people are saying about RH! Their best player is a transfer from Ironton!

Burg has one kid that came after jr high...
personally I don't care if a kid changes schools every year. If he is a stud any team will benefit from having him. Ironton is benefiting some from salyers.. burg is benefiting from lowery. Who really cares? It's not like we are a bunch of fish eaters stacking a team. Lol




Although if seo don't win a championship this year, I say we stack a local school with all the best player and do it next season. Haha let's all move to franklin furnace!

[flash]

Salyers , isn't really a transfer, his family moved from Wheelersburg to Ironton.

You really need to look up transfer in the dictionary. He is a transfer. He transferred from one school to the other. His residence only contributes to his sports eligibility.

really I could care less anymore myself. I moved my kids from rock hill to ironton myself in junior high. I had a bi-racial son in the rock hill district. and from my house to rock hill's school was 16 miles one way. from my house to ironton's parking lot was 8 miles. it makes more sense than you think especially having 2 in different grades. it was positive for my sons the time spent at rock hill and the time spent at ironton.

You sound like you don't care

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I really don't care much either anymore. it's not my place to know why a student wants to leave a district, or why the parents would want them moved. I loved the rock hill district as well. but honestly it was always in upheaval back then. and having a bi-racial son I just felt he needed that experience as well that ironton could provide. not only that, but it was twice as far to rock hill as it was to ironton, but I remained living in the rock hill district for 32 years.i was 8 miles out 141. just a couple houses past me was the symmes valley district.
