That's going to happen, no doubt. Excellent Hartley team. But to you FYI- and the other kids posting on here, other than being Burg haters, you really should want every team you play to go 9-1. You want teams to win out the rest of the year to get Ironton maximum playoff points. They probably won't teach you that in school today, but it does help come playoff time!

As great as the 1989 State Champs Ironton Fighting Tigers were, the Red Devils gave them all they wanted. Ironton's Terry Lowe's talent was discovered in that game.

Anyway, Tigers by 17

tuck, I agree. Russell always fields a fine football team, always has. make no mistake everybody. this is a big game, against a bigger school district, and a perennial playoff team. this will not by any means be a week that we can overlook or take an opponent lightly.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

can't have a burg hangover, or be looking towards a next game or anything. from what I know of trevon. he'll bring his team into no game unprepared.

OH SNAP, OH NO YOU DIT UNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT JUST HAPPENED.

I do hope burg goes 9-1. I absolutely do. they are not enemies, they are honored, respected rivals. I hope they come out of this on top. but it's gonna be a tall task, especially down 2 qb's. but I wish em luck. and Hartley is a beast. the last year Hartley and ironton played. ironton won the regular season game. then lost to Hartley in a rematch in a playoff game. and I believe Hartley won the state after beating ironton.

tough task to do beatin the same team twice in a year

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

thing is county, we could have won that game. it was very close. they had a great back. I think he went to Indiana. and may even be in the nfl now. if I'm not mistaken. if you were to watch that game, we missed so many tackles. no excuses, we beat em once, but just could not wrap up tackling during the playoff game.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

if memory serves me right it was at logan. 1st time I saw their new stadium. it was awesome.

[BurgGrad6]

Russell wins 17-10.

The last year Hartley and Ironton played was 2013 at Hartley. BH laid a whopping on Ironton. The year previous, 2012, Hartley came down to Ironton and laid an even bigger whooping. I believe that matchup was the one where the Ohio News Network (ONN), the since-defunct statewide cable news and high school sports programming network that reached two million or so cable subscribers, broadcasted as the state game of the week. Or was that the year prior, 2011? Anyways, that Hartley team was ungodly impressive and better than the 2010 team you’re referring to (will get to that in a second.) TE went to Notre Dame, they beat the Bishop Leurs team featuring - NFL star for the Cowboys - Jaylon Smith who would go on to win the Indiana state title but BH themselves fell victim to one of the best small school teams in Ohio history in the 2012 Clinton-Massie Eagles in the final four.

The team/game you’re referring to was 2010. Hartley would go on to win the state title that year. In the regular season, Hartley came down to the river and got back-smashed by the Tigers. After surviving a nightmarish Heath team (had an electrifying running back) in week 12, Hartley pulled off what was considered an upset against an incredible Ironton team in the regional final. I believe the game was at Logan. The week after, in the final four, Hartley pulled off an incredible win (went for 2 and won) against a Kettering Alter team led by future Notre Dame qb Malik Zaire. Their opponent in the state title game, Chagrin Falls, was ironically their least or second-least toughest opponent in the playoffs all year. Hartley dominated them.

The running back that year for Hartley you’re referring to was Noah Key – I believe he had 40-45 touchdowns that season. His dad, Keith Key, played for Bo Schembecler at Michigan. The toughest thing though about Hartley was their very advanced Wing-T that was more spread-based and filled with more playmakers than Key himself. Omar Lane, the wingback, ran a 4.3 and would go on to do track at D2 Tiffin. Ja’wuan Woodley was another electrifying wing/h-back, and in the playoffs they had a freshman running back who was brought up to varsity that came alive — I believe even scored against Ironton in the playoffs. Great line, too — wasn’t the biggest but was athletic and well-conditioned.

Noah Key would go on to play at Toledo, but did not pan out. Wasn’t a grades or character issue, but rather a combination of Toledo not meeting him as a young man where he needed a college coaching staff (full of adults that pitch themselves as caring about the kid as an individual) to meet him most plus some things going on in his life at home that were bigger than football. Good guy.

What I want and what is going to happen is two different things , I would love to see wheelersburg win teams from the local area beating Columbus teams is a good thing and for your FYI I’m not a kid
