Ironton 21 Coal Grove 12

[CGFAN#1]

Holy crap. It's 2018 and there are still people that believe refs cheat for Ironton at home. That is just as ridiculous now as it was 40 years ago. Give it up already.

How easy you forget. 2 years ago CG versus Ironton and the mysterious scrum where Ironton came out with the ball well after the whistle blew made a huge impact on that games outcome. Was it cheating? Debatable.
I hope calls are fair. I can say CG has had several calls at home and away that hurt outcomes yet all losses were winnable.
I hope this game is clean and injury free.

Really refs do the best they can in my opinion. Are some calls questionable. Yes. But to say it’s only at Ironton is crazy. I’ve seen my fair share of odd calls at CG and other places. The remark of being down 14 when you play at Ironton can easily be said at about every school around here.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

the recruiting and ref comments, I won't even give any attention to. but I think this will be a dandy ball game. but I think ironton prevails.

The grove is one team that doesn’t fear the old mystique of ironton anymore. They’ve been in almost every game since the joining of ironton. With it being at ironton and ironton probably overall a better team, I’d say ironton pulls it out with a couple of scores late. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an upset but I don’t think it will happen.

28-14

Just wondering! Did Coal Grove win the OVC last year? Were there no Scrums, and were all the Calls Fair last year?

The only thing that will determine this game is if the Grove can somehow muster up something that looks like a run defense. Haven't seen it yet this year, but anything is possible.

And before my fellow Hornets get on here and rebuke me, I am just saying what everyone else is thinking. Our run defense is terrible.

If that's the case, I'll go 35-14 Tigers

Didn't they lose all 5 down lineman and both linebackers from last years defense?

I hope the Hornets can muster some kind of run defense before Friday as they will be facing the premier running back in the Tri-State who resides in the Tiger Backfield............

We lost 2 linebackers and 3 lineman.

Flyer, we already faced him a few weeks ago. He put 261 yards and 3 touchdowns on us.

We still have two lineman that started last year, one a sophmore and the other a junior this year.

Are we talking about someone other than who is in the Tiger backfield?

I am sure he is talking about Parker from Portsmouth, who is a top quality back.

[2trap_4ever]

Yes. Parker of Portsmouth. When his line is blocking he is unstoppable.

come on bait....tell us how daddy's got big time pay jobs at AK Steel just to bring their sons to play for Lutz and how the refs lived in an apartment behind Tank Stadium

[79Tiger]

I remember that apartment. I always found it odd that several adult males lived there.

[RACELAND]

If you want to get for sure cheated schedule Paintsville in Kentucky. It’s beyond belief. After we played there I told coach Lewis (former Ironton coach) I don’t want anybody to ever talk about getting cheated at Ironton. It holds no candle to playing at Paintsville. When Paintsville recovers a fumble the refs scream OUR BALL!

And both starting corners and both defensive ends . So that’s 9 defensive starters we lost from last year
