Hillsboro 27 Jackson 21 OT

[joeboggs1]

Going to be tough to blame this one on the refs. Incredible football game!

Indians played the entire 2 half without Keets

Guessing this eliminates Jackson from the playoffs?

Great football game . Congrats Indians and coach orourke. Old coach plyed his cards perfect . Jackson can still get a piece of the title with a win at Chilli. I see a 3 way tie in the league

Jackson played strong on defense . Hillsboro run game is tough, 34 is a load. Was good to see a real football game

Safe travels back for Hillsboro. Great atmosphere. FAC alive and kicking. I didn’t think O’Rourke did anything genius but he saw Jackson potentially going to open it up and went into half and got pressure on Ice. Hillsboro couldn’t pass at all but on 4th and 5 deep into the 4th they caught us sleeping a touch and made a game saving play. At that point Burns was tired after 87 carries but that completion got it done. Once in OT and Jackson was unsuccessful and then Hillsboro like 3rd and 15 I thought it was just obvious it was going to the endzone on that play. On 4th down everyone knew it would but 3rd down and it was wide open and Hillsboro won it.

Jackson kids battled and played most of game without all-district linebacker Matt Humphreys. Couple other regulars seemed to not be in there much, don’t know if banged up or what. I thought Parks and Ruckel really brought it for the Ironmen. Team played hard but must regroup....it’s Chillicothe or no FAC or playoffs.

Can’t wait to head to Boro in 2019. Some Alley 21 before the game.

I don’t think so. I think beating Chillicothe gets us the 7 or 8...but maybe not.

Puts a lot on the line over in Chillicothe

A loss tonight opens up a spot for Athens, which really hurts.

Bellefontaine won tonight and leap frogged Athens and moved from #11 to #7 and DeSales lost to Hartley and only dropped to #8 tonight. I wouldn't worry about Athens getting in with their schedule.

Jackson has had many chances this season, if Athens gets in over them...oh well, no crying about it.

Got a chance to go to Chillicothe and win a share of FAC championship.

Jackson has an outside shot if they beat Chillicothe......and I think they can. they played Hillsboro tough tonight. Unfortunately the quarterback threw two game changing interceptions tonight. more proof that Jackson is a very one dimensional offense, especially against teams that match up against them well. Their defense got burned on two huge touchdown passes tonight. Hillsboro in my opinion is actually a fairly athletic team....not the most athletic...but definitely athletic. lots on the line Week 10 for the Ironmen. I see Chillicothe as the outright league champs with an outside chance that Jackson knots it up as a three way tie!

[countywide35]

Does anyone know why the starting RB for Hillsboro didn’t play 2nd half ?

[FANOSPORTS]

IMO a 6-4 Jackson could beat a 9-1 Athens regardless.

I agree.

[ironman02]

Still a chance at the playoffs, and also a chance to win a share of the FAC. The Ironmen have plenty to play for in these last two weeks.

Congrats to Hillsboro. They have a very good football team. Reminded me a lot of the Jackson teams from the 1990s and early 2000s. Very physical, smash mouth approach. Good luck to them the rest of the way and maybe we'll somehow see them again in the playoffs.

It was no doubt a very good football game. Two good teams went at it all night long. I'm sure both coaches and players had a lot of respect for each other. The thing that I can't quite grasp is, it seems as if every other thread about Jackson, it always comes back to talking about Athens. I know very little about Athens, but its very clear as to how the " Fans " from Jackson feel.

That’s not even a Jackson poster . Two teams who don’t play , in two different leagues .

Yep, that's me. Neutral fan but tend to compare teams in same regions but with much different schedules. Sorry if I offend some of you !!!!!

It doesn't offend me at all. I'm not a fan of either team. I'm not just talking about tonights thread. I may be mistaken, but it just seemed that way to me. And FANOSPORT, I wasn't really directing this toward you.
