I have read several posts saying that Lawson has several D-1 offers, but nobody has said where? Can someone please list where his offers are from? It's always great when kids from the SE get an opportunity to play at the next level and get an education, particularly great when it's at the D-1 level.

I didn't see him listed on ESPN Recruiting Nations web site where I found Zac Carter listed as the #73 PG in the 2013 Class in the Nation dated 1-20-2011, he maybe listed on other sites though.

Ive heard Albany has offered. Also heard he has had interest from James Madison and Belmont but im not sure if they have offered him anything yet.

The #1 seeded Warriors would be a tough hurdle for a healthy Ironton club. But this is not a healthy Ironton, with third leading scorer Dion Brown lost for the season after blowing out an ACL, and second leading scorer Trey Fletcher still hobbled by a high ankle sprain.

Fletch's inability to finish his dunk the other evening against Wellston shows how off his game he currently is, as Ironton fans are used to seeing some resounding ally-oop throw-downs from Carter to Fletch over the course of this season. I have to give Fletch props for just being out there and giving it his all despite being dinged. He is a kid with great character.

Meanwhile, Eastern Brown looked invincible the other night in throttling Southeastern. Chase Lawson played like a man among boys in leading his SHL juggernaut, and Lawson will be a very difficult matchup for any Ironton player. My guess is that Dion Brown would have drawn that assignment before his injury, but now who?

Coach Buecler has been banging on the door of the Schott since his last appearance in 2002. This year's club and seeding may have set him on a date with destiny again. You could see his guys playing the other night with the kind of swagger it takes to get to Columbus.

Ironton need contributions from unexpected souces to have a shot on Saturday; Eastern just need to play its game. It should be a very entertaining match-up of players and coaches.

CORRECTION THE THIRD LEADING SCORER IS TREVOR WHITE EVEN WITH 6 GAMES ON THE BENCH AND COMING OFF THE BENCH THE REST OF THE SEASON UNTIL DION WAS HURT. DION IS GOOD AND IS MISSED, BUT TREVOR HAS BEEN THE THIRD LEADING SCORER SINCE HE WAS UNLEASHED. CHECK THE STATS THEY ARE AVAILABLE ON ELITETRISTATESPORTS.COM. IRONTON IS MADE UP OF A TEAM OF PLAYERS NOT JUST 2. THEY HAVE SHOWN ALL SEASON LONG THAT THE OTHERS ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF STEPPING UP AND FILLING IN. YOU PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE WE ARE DOOMED TO LOSE JUST BECAUSE DION IS OUT AND TREY IS LESS THAN 100%

The only destiny for EB is to get taken to the woodshed on Saturday night. They only hope that Fletcher is less than 100%. Even then they cannot handle Ironton. With or without Fletcher they are a very solid team. Just ask Fairland(they are in the District Championship in D2.) They couldn't handle Ironton without Fletcher or Dion..
Itown is battle tested. They play the toughest schedule in southern Ohio so they will be more than ready no matter who is in the lineup.
If EB played the schedule that Itown did this year they would be lucky to have a winning record.

Im not an Eastern Brown fan but posts like these will probably make me one saturday.

If I went by posts that some "FANS" put on this web site there would be alot of Teams I'd be rooting against lol. I let the Teams and Players do the talking on the Court and may the best Team win. I just like to see all of the Southeastern Ohio Teams do well, especially in the Tournament. I'm sure this is going to be a very good game and we'll have to be ontop of our game to win this one. Eastern Brown didn't make it this far by luck.

[Chesapeake]

Eastern Brown has had 3 extra days to prepare for this one.

Ironton 61 Eastern Brown 55

[Gray Fighting Tiger]

I don't think Ironton can afford to come out (very!) flat like they did vs. Wellston. I'm sure that EB is a much better team than Wellston.

i watched carter go toe to toe with rodney purvis(who is considered one of the top 5 guards in the class of 2012) and i seriously doubt the lawson kid is that good lol.. i have no dog in the fight but will be there watching but im pretty sure that carter is not going to have any problem breaking down eb's perimeter defense... the guy is good!! period!. ill take i-town by 15!!

[streetballer]

Eb is no slouch I've seen em play this year and they can hang with any team..ironton is a good team...this game could go down to the wire and could be decided by who makes free throws and who doesnt

[theuglytruth]

The fact is the two play different positions! Carter is a 5'9" PG and Lawson is a 6'2" SG. Both are great players and will play at the next level. It will be a monumental test for the Warriors, Ironton is a great team. That being said EB perimeter defense is very good, and I doubt Carter will do whatever he wants. Lawson does have several offers such as Albany, Belmont, James MAdison, William&Marry, Wright State and Morehead St. have inquired. Lawson has also held his own with some of the best recruits on the AAU circuit. EB will be ready, as will Ironton, but don't think Coach Beucler isnt looking to avenge the 2005 District Finals lost when the Warriors had Ironton down 5 with 1:45 left to go before Dennis Gagui hit two threes and Ironton advanced all the way to the state finals where eventually they were defeated by North College Hill. Ironton was a three point bucket or two away from not even getting out of district. Beucler has been here before and they will be ready. Good luck to both teams, and I dont think there will be anyone taking anyone to the woodshed.

.......................and that my friends, is the UGLYTRUTH!

There is a big difference in "inquiring" and "offers" :122248

[theuglytruth]

ALbany, Belmont, James Madison, William and Mary are offers, Wright State, Morehead and some others inquiring. ;)

Here is the thread from 2 years ago. Hopefully history will repeat itself.

[Debo]

So ironton by a big margin but eastern will give them a good game and come up short? Makes no sense....

All Eastern's players are born and bread brown county.....Don't hate because your most likely an underachiever

Cmon eastern has had many players in all sports from other countries. You serious. What makes no sense is you know that but are angry, or maybe you are a child and dont remember. I feel the same way EB will give a good game the 1st half and then come up short maybe big at the end. Lawson is not that good in mine and others opinion, D3 or small D2, not tall enough, slow shot, mid range athletic, still a good kid.

[86Tiger]

Ironton by at least 20!!!! GO TIGERS!!!!!
