I agree with you completely Tigerbait. No one can point a finger at Ironton's schedule, period. In my opionon, you guys will handle Johnstown Monroe with style.
Note that I wasn't the first person to call anyone's schedule a cupckae, and I still haven't. Things will sort themself out on the field Friday night, and the result will have absolutely nothing to do with anything posted on this site, or the ovathletics site.
Good Luck to your Tigers!

This will be a mismatch. Get the roundballs out piketon cause your season is over. Great run it was.

You are WAY over-valuing Minford. They finished as an 8-3 team with the #93 toughtest schedule in DIV, out of 123 teams. Minford went 2-3 against teams with winning records by a combined 6 pts. Piketon played the 4th EASIEST schedule in DIV.
Now, none of that means Piketon can't win, but stop ignoring facts. To say that St. C had a weak schedule doesn't say much when you look at Piketon or Minford's schedule.

After all the rhetoric on here this week - no hard feelings to anyone. Best of Luck to the Streaks tonight and I'm hoping for a clean, hard hitting, injury free game.
See you tonight, Go Red Devils.
