Haven't seen either team this year except for tonight but I like Ironton big.

[WIFAN-22]

Ironton will do to the Oaks what Piketon wouldn't, or couldn't. They will throw it in to Fletcher, and he will have a huge game. This could be the most lopsided Reg Final in a while. I see another 85-90 point performance for the Tigers...... No one on this Oaks team gonna be able to slow down Carter. Ironton gets to the State Semi after their BIG win on Saturday!

[Gus]

Lets go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

GREAT WIN FIGHTING TIGERS STAY FOCUSED 1 GAME AT A TIME.

Piketon or Oak Hill it didn't matter, Ironton on a mission.

That's why they play the games. I'm sure Ironton will not go into this game thinking blowout.

Oak Hill will get Fletcher into foul trouble...Carter will be off and Oak Hill will shoot it well.

Oak Hill 58
Ironton 51

Tall task for the Oaks. Will they be able to control the tempo and keep the score in low 40's?

[Oaksince59]

Oaks defense quicker than what I saw from Martins Ferry squad. Will need to pressure/challenge Carter , hit the defensive boards and shoot with confidence. Team will have to be on but game is one the Oaks can win. Convo should be Rockin. Both schools will bring large energized crowds.

[art_vandelay]

If Burg could slow it down on Ironton, then Oak Hill can and will also. Norm gets an early lead, takes air out of the ball, and Oak Hill right in this one. Stranger things have happened. Either way, great to see SE Ohio guaranteed a team at State, but i gotta root for SOC II in this one.*

[O.V.C '11]

Oak Hill will get Fletcher into foul trouble...Carter will be off and Oak Hill will shoot it well.

Oak Hill 58
Ironton 51

Even if Carter and Fletcher were to be off (highly unlikely) Trevor White will step in and have a huge game down low and Ironton has too many shooters to be shut down to 51 points. Ironton wins this by 20+ I'm sayin

Ironton - 78
Oak Hill - 54

[TripleDouble]

Norm will play stall ball. Get possesion early and hold for the last shot of every quarter and oaks pull off the upset 7-4.

[maniac66]

Oak Hill will stall but will matter little MF tried to stall to but Ironton's Defense was up to the task.
This is a very good and balanced Ironton team and will be very hard to beat

[on a mission]

Ironton student section will win the battle of the stands!!! Hahaha!! Absolutely amazing student section!

Oak Hill will get Fletcher into foul trouble...Carter will be off and Oak Hill will shoot it well.

How many did Ironton score against Burg? Is Burg better than Oak Hill?

[tigerSTRIPEZzz]

Nothing the Oaks can do in this one. It's Ironton's game to Win...or Lose. MP: Tigers- 74 Oaks- 48.

[Bleeding Red]

Tigers by 18.

Oak Hill cant play stall ball if they cant get the lead, which I dont think they can. If they do, Ironton will play in your face man to man defense and force 5 second violations and turnovers. Ironton's guards are the best I have seen defensively in a long time.

[Jolly P(irate)]

Red Solo, I agree, Oak Hill is better than Wheelersburg. But, using that game as an example...? That was the best defensive game the Pirates played all season, and probably one of the worst offensive games Ironton played all year. This will be a great game, but I think the Tigers will pull away in the 4th.
