Portsmouth(42) @ (35)Ironton

[Mavrick2016]

Ironton will still be without 8 starters, I read in Ironton newspaper,
sound like Portsmouth has everyone back. I will say it may not a close
game.

[flash]

Best of luck to the Tigers !

How many years has this rivalry been going on?

[79Tiger]

Since 1899. Looks like this one may go to Portsmouth.

[Orange and Brown]

Does anyone have the series history from the beginning?

[ohwkGREATNESSyrio]

Portsmouth. 38-21

I think Ironton will be in this one, we must play better defense, but throw out the records, throw out the depth chart, its Portsmouth-Ironton, It may mean nothing to everyone else, but to these communities, it means a bunch

[Game day]

I read the paper about all the Ironton players out. I wished they quit making excuses why Ironton is so bad. In one word I will say it "Coaching"!

[RiverRatRay]

These are very unofficial wins.....Ironton 59 Portsmouth 56 with 8 ties

Aren’t you also making an excuse?

Maybe it isn’t coaching....maybe Ironton doesn’t have the Jimmy’s and Joe’s anymore.

Keep in mind they are also playing in the OVC they don't need a lot of Jimmy's and Joe's

Trojans are going to cage these Purring Tigers!!!!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

hey hoping for a safe game from these 2 with no injuries. for both teams it would be the win that brought them to .500, and secure a non losing season. neither team will be in the playoffs. and a lot of pride on the line here in one of the oldest rivalries in the state. somebody will leave the field 4-6. and somebody will leave 5-5. hardly banner years for 2 programs steeped in such tradition and playoff experience. but good luck to both and go tigers , beat Portsmouth.

[Game day]

What I have heard this could be both coaches last game at their respected schools.

[Mavrick2016]

With the Tigers down 8 starters, this game could get ugly.

[79Tiger]

This game may come down to who gives up first. No OVC title and no playoff on the line. Nothing but pride. Who has it?
