ironton vs coalgrove jamboree game

[osu 77]

I hate to hear that about Dion!

How did the scrimmage go?

[tigerfan98]

ironton 30 coal grove 7- first teams only ironton went for 2 whole game missed 1 conversion
it was close early but trevor white wasnt playing, he stepped in the game it changed
1 amazing run looked like 60 yards up the middle broke 3 tackles off to the races
his second touchdown probably about 40 up the middle thru tackles
Beach had a touchdown after hager broke open a 50 yard run
Beach got another touchdown after 2 nice big pass plays to hager and lawless
coalgrove has a decent passing attack, they should dominate ovc
coal grove about 6 fumbles ironton 3 fumbles
Ironton was actually bigger than coal grove, definetly quicker
deion looked good till he broke his collarbone
kratzenburg looked great at quarterback and safety
our line could be really good by seasons end
Our defense has to work on defending the pass, we froze up a lot in the beginning but later put lots of pressure on the qb

Seems like there is always someone getting seriously hurt at this scrimmage.

30 7 your crazy you must not have been at the same scrimmage i was at. cg played even up with irontons first team and cg line played right with ironton. trevor white scored all his tds late against cg 3rd teamers. either ironton isn't as good as advertised or cg is better than what i thought. cg moved the ball on ironton the whole scrimmage. usually bodes well for the hornets when they hang with the tigers. cg starting qb didn't even play the second half.

Here what I took from the scrimmage and you got to remember thsi is Irontons 1st game against other people while Coal Grove has had 2 other games to get ready for this one. Ironton defensively looked soft they were very soft against the trap and the secondary as usual was suspect. Coal Grove was better than I thought they lined up and took it to us. In the end the Tigers were very aggresive and hard hitting forcing 4 or 5 fumbled due to big hits. The passing game looked good though. We got to remember1 very improtant thing its a scrimmage and neither team is going to so a lot of there plays. Ironton though needs a kicker if you cant connect on EP you will be in a world of hurt.

In a real game would CG hang with the Tigers def not.

[tk421]

Why is it so hard to find someone who can kick out of 50 players? Ironton always has the same problem every year, don't they work on kicking in the younger years at all?

[Burg_Grad_77]

Does Ironton have a soccer team? That's where the Burg has gotten their kickers for the past few seasons.

First off, what a tough loss with Dion. Thoughts and prayers are with you, it's been 3 tough years for you.

Coal Grove looked pretty decent, they should have a good year.

I didn't see Ironton have their entire 1st string in on any play (Offense or Defense), they were mixed with 1st and and 2nd teams on Offense and Defense. The blue Jersies were made up of mostly Freshmen. Two starters didn't dress Gage Roach and Cody Jones. I kept waiting for Ironton to put their entire 1st teams in but they never did and they did pretty good I think to have played with the 1st team and 2nd teams mixed togather on both sides of the ball.

I saw 2 Wheelersburg Scouts going into the scrimmage when I was going in. I told them run right, run left and up the middle, try and stop us.

I would like to see their Scouting report on the scrimmage since we never played our whole 1st string on Offense or Defense lol.

I might still have the scouting report they gave us for Ironton back in the 90's. Probably hasn't changed much. Straight T, huge line, fast backs, and 5-2 defense. Hasn't changed much since the 70's.

I did see a little 3-3-5 the last couple years. Wonder how that coaches meeting went when that was proposed. That's the equivalent to any other school going to the run and shoot.

[tigerfan98]

if you paid attention the first string played 2 quarters, then backups for 12 minutes, then first strings back in. Coal Grove scored twice once on our backups and once on our starters. Our backups did not score on Coalgrove. Ironton scored 4 tds Beach 2 in the first 2 quarters, and Trevor 2 in the last series with starters, 3 2point conversions is 6, 6 + 24 = 30, if adding the score on our second and third team where our third string cornerback missed an assignment for a long td pass fine, 30-13 cg went for 2 and missed. Ironton is so deep in our backfield you wont know our starters until friday. It looked as if hager, brown, beach, white, kratzenburg, but they gave leach, lewis, and some others shots at playing time. Trevor was in against your starters, maybe some subs, but no less than Ironton had on the field. Its a scrimmage and I gave Coal Grove credit I think they will do good. They lost to Chesapeake in Coal Grove, remember Symmes Valley spanked Chesapeake last year, so do you think Coal Grove will beat Chesapeake in the regular season, of course. Just like if Ironton played Coal Grove in the regular season I think they would win easy, any body know the series record.

No point in arguing about this scrimmage. Both teams played well. That's the best the Hornets have faired against Ironton in the jamboree game since they started it up a few years ago. It was a good game and it drew another good crowd. Why try to make anything more out of a scrimmage?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

fuzzy thats how i saw it as well. both made mistakes but both will be tuff, if they can hang onto the ball.not over run plays, and take better pursuit angles.

[rico suave]

i know for a fact trevor scored his 2 against 3rd team , say want you want but film won't lie. and fuzzhead, disappointed in you. you diss the grove on previous post against chesapeake, which was just a preview just like this was a scrimmage, but when cg plays well you won't come out compliment them. starting to think you want the grove to do bad, always looking for the worst when they play, give credit when credit is due if your going to criticize when they mess up.

i thank tigercannon for an honest opinion on the scrimmage. a good measuring point for the grove to line up and play with ironton, who is good every year. you know if you can bang heads with ironton you won't face any tougher team on cg schedule for sure.

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. White scored against second team players. The varsity score of this scrimmage was 14-7 Ironton.

Funny how one person says that Trevor scored against 1st string and another says it was 2nd string and yet another says 3rd string. What are you people trying to say with this? Are ya trying to say he isn't that good or that CG's 2nd and 3rd string isn't good. Funny there is always an excuse why someone got beat.

Truth is Ironton never had their entire starting lineup in at one time during this SCRIMMAGE. It was only a scrimmage let it go people and stop singling out kids. Grow up Gentlemen

[tigerfan98]

Noone said coal grove did bad they looked great for an OVC team. I gave credit they should dominate OVC opponents. Remember, Coal Grove doesn't have Ashland Jackson Hartley Alder Wheelersburg and Portsmouth all in one year. My point in a regular season Ironton continues to get better and better and if the game counted we all know the score wouldn't be 14-7 no matter what string was in. Trevor could do that against most teams ask Jackson. Argue who was in or whatever at the end of the day that game was just practice, but if people need moral victories then call it what you want

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where in the world did I "dis" Coal Grove in reference to the Chesapeake preview? I said the line hadn't impressed me at all so far this year. True statement. I said the team would be smaller than most years. True statement. And I did compliment them on this thread by saying it was the best they'd faired against Ironton in a jamboree game since they started them a few years back. True statement.
Grove played good ball. I got my money's worth and I think all other CG and Ironton fans did as well. At the end of the day, the inside running game in my opinion is the biggest questionmark on offense and I don't think I'm alone in taking that opinion. There is no Frank Delawder or Bubba Wood in the backfield this year plus a lot of the line is inexperienced on the varsity level. If you noticed, Coal Grove didn't play nearly as conservatively as Ironton did. I think the inside running game will be established during the season.
The Grove will probably have to put the ball in the air a lot more this year. That's just a fact. The good news is they have a good QB and a really good receiver to do it with. They also have very quick running backs to keep teams on their toes.
If Coal Grove went 7-3 and won the OVC, I'd consider it a good year.

allan iverson would call this ' practice man practice. we talkin bout practice

[rico suave]

well ain't it ironic that southernohiosportsphotos has pictures of trevor white running his td's and wouldn't you know it , the grove 3rd stringers are on the field running after him. a picture is worth a thousand words, lol. white is a heck of a running back though but i just wanted to prove my point. he is a beast and ironton is lucky to have him for 2 more years. i also like kratzenburg at qb, i think he will surprise people this year.
