I heard Tigers are gonna be hard to beat this year, just like last year. Question: do they got another Lewis to get them outta all the messes(losses) they would of had last year if not for that kid? Wow he was a game changer.

I was actually trying to sound more sarcastic than arrogant, but whatever. Truth is, you get some transfers and you lose some. If you have a winning tradition, you get more than you lose. It happens everywhere, not just Ironton. Just ask Chesapeake basketball fans. A few transfers can even help propel a program to another level that would be unlikely to be attained, but Ironton can count those kind of kids on one hand over the last 40 years, and still have some fingers leftover. Making Ironton the scapegoat for the underachievement at other schools is a popular refrain that makes some people feel better, but it will not fix the underlying issues at those schools. I'm rooting for the best for all Lawrence County schools in 2013-2014, and hope many will bring home hardware for their trophy cases.This kid is a trouble maker anyway, glad he is gone from the Grove. He is the type of player that if he doesn't get what he wants he will make it harder for the team to succeed. He didn't make it through basketball this year just for those reasons.unclebob wrote:the kid from coal grove that transferred is a sophomore who has great height 6 4" I'm guessing. He was a really good basketball player in the 8th grade but didn't finish basketball last season for the Hornets. He played football football last year as an end.

Considering Coach Lutz had 5 starters Transfer out right before he announced he was coming back 5-5 wasn't to bad. He did go from 5-5 that year to 8-4 the next and 10-3 the year after that playing for a Regional Championship :122249urban buck wrote:Yea the coach that went 4 and 6 last year at Portsmouth West AFTER taking a year off, much like good ol Bob did. He came back and went 4 and 6 or worse, losing by 30 points at times. So yea, six of one, half a dozen of another. You guys really make me laugh. Ironton went 5 and 5 or 6 and 4 last year with 20+ seniors AND Lewis. Again, if not for Lewis, that would of been more like 2 and 8. So its all good. :122249
ohb2, very good point but this is not what the haters want to hear...........amazing how the truth hurts some but that is just the way it is every year.......and I luv the comment without Lewis, more like 2 and 8......something we will never know will we.......ohbuckeye2 wrote:Considering Coach Lutz had 5 starters Transfer out right before he announced he was coming back 5-5 wasn't to bad.

Ironton was 7-4 last year losing to Bishop Hartley (13-1), Johnstown Monroe (10-3), Bishop Watterson (7-4) and Johnson Central, KY (9-2) - What Team around hear could have beat any of these Teams last year???
Great post PT and I know they will do well at Ironton.......I agree South Point has always had great athletes but something seems to be lacking at the leadership level to get the max out of the players......good luck to the Pointers this year......primetime20 wrote:For starters, I wish Ironton luck this year. They have a few good linemen and a core of good young guys coming up. As for the two transfers from SP, as I am from SP, and know the two kids. They are both great boys and really good athletes. One is more of a basketball player than anything, yet the other a football player. I must say that even though I hate to see them leave SP, they're probably better off athletically at Ironton. SP sports always seem to underachieve to some extent and those kids want to be winners. They've been coached well growing up and know what it takes to win.
I wish both teams luck this year though! SP also has good athletes moving up and they should fair well this year, I believe.
U r as full of sh!t as a Christmas goose..........excuses and arrogance..........I dont see any fans dogging other teams.....we dont really give a sh!t if u like us or not.......and if u call that talking out of both sides of my mouth u r correct cause that is what I am doing.........take your potty mouth back where u came from.........dreamweaver wrote:Some of you Ironton folks want it both ways..not all of you. Excuses when teams do bad and arrogance when they do good. Then you dog other teams for the very same. So be it..why no one likes Ironton. Doesnt have much more to do with than talking out of both sides of your mouth.
