Looks like their defense played well the last 5 weeks.
Also I notice they played 6 lower division teams.

Where as Irontons Offense looks like its been doing well for the last 5 weeks.
Their D hasn't been too shabby either They have been know for giving up a big play every now and then.
Also Ironton played"down" twice with both of those being going to the play-offs.

Good Luck Tigers from the Grove

[kantuckyII]

Good luck Coal Grove From The Tigers!

You reckon the coaching staff will be wearing kilts?

[wowhesfast]

Ironton, and it probably won't be close. They have similar scores to Ironton, although they play no where near the competition. Make the league proud.

[earp]

I am willing to bet they have never been any place like Tank Stadium!

[kantuckyII]

I am willing to bet they have never been any place like Tank Stadium!

Let's hope it doesn't leave any warm memories for them

[fuzzhead]

Ironton will absolutely roll this team.
Ironton by 4 TDs.

[TIGERS90]

Looks like a big weekend for football...I believe that I will be traveling to Minford on Friday to root on the mighty sweat bees and then will be at the tank to watch them tigers...what an enjoyable weekend it could be...would love to see both these teams go all the way this year...

[tk421]

Wow, that's a long drive for the Highlanders.

[Tjhtygeverve]

It's a pretty brutal drive for them I agree....
