I hate to say it but it has to be the ironton game. I didn’t expect a blowout and a shutout to boot. But they made it and had a great season.

Ironton looked awful. No offense. Looks like Fort Frye was the 2020 SEO champs

Kirtland/Ironton. Lotta chest thumpin. Not much showin up on the big stage.

[FIDO]

58 yds total offense says it all. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

58 yds total offense says it all. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

And defense gave up 400 yards of offense. Kirtland had around 8 guys touch the rock for meaningful yards. Didn't even look like they belonged in the same division.

Ironton couldn’t have even won the Div 6 or 7 championships either in my opinion...it’s a shame Coldwater couldn’t play Kirtland, I don’t think they’d have won but they would’ve put up a fight... guess the only #RestoreTheRoar was by the Real Tiger - Tiger LaVerde!! #That!

I don't know about that with all divisions but Fort has no real passing offense to help offset the running game, much like Ironton and Trimble. Defense still wins Championships but a one trick pony offense with few variations doesn't help your defenses get off the field against great teams in the semis or finals in today's game. Their were many State finals years ago that ended 7-0, 8-7, 7-6 , 6-0 and even 3-0. Those days are gone as the evolution of offenses has progressed immensely over the defenses. Just my take.

Now adays offense wins games more on average. Gotta have a potent offense.

All three of those games can be called a bust. If I had to pick just one it would be the Pickerington Cental game.

[Kirtland80]

D7 and D2 weren’t really big surprises. Hoban and New Bremen were favored pretty heavily. I didn’t expect the D1 or the D5 scores though

[Wings Teaford]

That ther Arnton game was the bustest. Them Kirklan boys was readin all year how they was gonna get skinny pantsd in the rematch and that had em fired up.

[Paladin]

No question Ironton and it wasn’t even close. Sloppy, overweight linemen, no speed and no skill. A mercy rule game that questioned why they were in the state final. Served once again to question why ,after they muscle weak SEO teams, should they be in the playoffs at that level ? Over rated as usual.

It would have been fun to play Coldwater. Those guys play hard, make plays and don’t quit coming at you. Van Wert and Chardon would have been fun too. Anything over that level (Hoban or St. X) I think we would be outmatched

Yep, I agree. I watched a lot of film on Ironton and said all along they looked weak and slow. Knew they couldn't compete with a NEO team.

Those southern ohio boys need more sushi and less mashed potatoes and cornbread.

Divisions have realigned & expanded 4 times over the years. Kirtland is right where they need to be in the smaller divisions. You would be competitive in D4 right now but for a whole playoff season it would be very, very difficult....and leave D1- D3 playoffs to the big boys.

We’d win D4. We stuck a running clock on Lake Catholic before pulling starters. 31-0. Preps likes us by 10 over Van Wert and we were only favored by 7 against Ironton. D3 would be harder but we’d make a good run in there. D2 and D1 forget it

WHOA!!! Do I need to pull the post up where you disagreed with me and said Massillon would give them a game?
