The Jackson Ironmen will travel to the Trojan Coliseum in Portsmouth for an important SEOAL contest with the Portsmouth Trojans on Friday. Jackson, after losing their season opener, has been winning in impressive fashion the last four weeks. Portsmouth has been up and down lately with the absence of some key players, but will be looking to get back on track when they return home this week. The Ironmen have defeated the Trojans the last two seasons in thrilling fashion with a 21-20 win at Alumni Stadium in 2008 and a 27-26 victory last season in Portsmouth. Jackson will be looking to extend their SEOAL record to 3-0, while the Trojans will be out to avenge the losses of the last two seasons, while also remaining in the SEOAL title hunt with a "W".

What does everyone have to say about this one?

[OZZIEOHIO]

Wonder what Trojan team will show up this week????

[noreply66]

[Old*rocket]

Myers will not play friday.

[28Buck]

Jackson runs away with this game.....literally.

[trojan power]

Hate to say this but......Jackson will ROLL over the trojans.

[mglight88]

Go Trojans! I would love to go see this game and support my daughter in the band and see the massive band Jackson brings, but can't miss my Falcons beating the Pirates.

[biggdowgg]

the Trojans are more then capable of winning this game, lets not get down on the young men over a couple of losses,they are still out there busting their asses to play football on friday night, if I remember it was about this time last season when everyone gave up on them, EXCEPT THEM, and they still finished strong.

[Ironman92]

Jackson needs to continue their offensive balance.

Either Wellston was the Steelers on defense that night or the Ironmen have improved tremendously.

[BurgGrad6]

lets go ptown!!!!!

[Westfan]

If Jackson is strong on the ground like usual, they'll win big. Portsmouth's run defense is horrible.

[X8XOHIOLEGENDX7X]

Gave my vote to the ironman.

[55buckeyes98]

How did Jackson lose to Wellston so bad but are 4-1? Hope the Ironmen win!

[Buckeye-4-Life]

Sometimes a early loss can refocuse a team. Trojans at home will help a ton, Jackson has scored over 40 four games in a row. Should be a dandy friday. I will take Jackson, coaching staff and players seem to be clicking on all cylenders. 28-7

[Ironmannut07]

Gotta take my ironmen here there know what's at stake and they want to this bad there running game is phenomenal they have four running backs that can get the ball at any time a qh that can turn a near sack into a positive gain with his quickness and kip Winchester can always hook up with his wr's if the d gets used to defending the run well balanced offense is key for the ironmen and they have been very aware of what's going on on d also jackson 28-7

[schenk11]

Watched Jackson on Friday against Warren, if Portsmouth's run defense is bad like some have said, they are in trouble.

[gunit]

Is the Meyers kid still on the team??? Is he injured or benched for some reason???

[crazee-oakaholic]

Go Ironmen...I think Oak Hill fans and Jackson fans should meet at the Ribber since we will both be playing in Portsmouth!!
