Gallia Academy 0 - 52 Ironton

Hopefully its a real muddy game

Was it a muddy field that kept you from coming to the last OBDTF Meeting?

I'm so mad at myself for missing it. Just forgot, that's all. Big turnout?

Not so much but that's the way it started out. Me, RiverRatRay and his little sweet sidekick who's all grown up now.

If Gallia throws the ball they will pull out this win , Ironton all run offense load the box

Load the Box, Salyers has 850 yards Passing through 8 Games, not shabby for a running Team.

Tigers dominate defense against a huge Gallia Line. I hope Pendleton gets the turnovers under control. We have a team to make a good playoff run if we clean up the penalties and turnovers. I can't wait to watch. I hope my Tigers pull it out.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

must keep turnovers and penalties to a scarce minimum here.

Gallia. Ironton has played anyone except week one burg and Ashland. Lost to Ashland.

I’d love to hear what makes you think Gallia has played anyone better.

Well....Point Pleasant is a traditional power in WV and, by enrollment, is considered a D-II school....

So that's someone. I'd take them over Burg, but not Ashland.

My pick is GA 35 Ironton 21

GA scores a late TD to put it out of reach and locks up the second of many consecutive OVC crowns (being mostly sarcastic, though it is refreshing to see the Blue back on top of their league.)

[MisterGalliaGuy2016]

Being completely serious here. Ironton will be the best team GA has played all year, and the same is likely true in reverse. It will be an all out war in the trenches. I have a ton of respect for what Coach Pendleton has built at Ironton. Happy to see this game still means a little something extra. Bad blood between old time rivals. Best of luck to both teams, and here's hoping the game is everything we're hyping it to be.

Although I agree with you, Point Pleasant has a losing record this year.

[Poo Bear]

I read where point pleasant was 1-4 , is that correct ?

That is what I saw on MaxPreps

[Blue/92]

I read where point pleasant was 1-4 , is that correct ?

For the record, who cares who either team has played or hasn't played. The two teams are gonna line up on Friday night and the better team will win, it's really that simple!

Well it’s Sunday so other fans bases taking a look at schedules of the teams isn’t unheard of , but I hear ya.
For the record I like Ironton 28-21

Here is my take and it really hasn’t changed much. Since the preview. What happened at the tank last year. Ironton loosing the big lead and the blue devils going ahead at end to win the game really fueled the tigers. I think they haven’t forgot what it feels like to have the league championship snatched from you and watching a team celebrate that on your field fuels a very big fire.

This makes ironton very dangerous and they are by far the best team our blue devils have faced. They are talented and well coached. Blue devils will have all they want.

But why I think the blue devils win this game has to do with the culture they have started to build and really establish. A famous coach can’t remember his name once said. You teach a group of guys to block and tackle and to love one another. I mean really care for them and not worry about who gets the credit and the headlines you can build something really special. And that is what the Blue devils have. I think that is the winning formula.

Now back to on the field. I think what makes the blue devils really good and I am not sure we know how good they are is really our adaptability. I think offensively and defensively we have the capability to match up and play many different styles.

I think that ability gives the blue devils the win here I don’t know by how much but maybe 10 points. I don’t think blue devils 10 point favorites I think maybe it is a pickem game then the blue devils get lead ironton presses a little bit and the blue devils open it up.

Ironton will be to much for GA. Better lines and skill. Wont be close.

[Frogtownbuckeye]

From the film I've seen on Gallia, I'd say Ashland, Russell, and Wheelersburg are the best teams Ironton have faced this year, in that order. Gallia will come in at #4. Gallia is well coached and has a couple of really good athletes but they won't be enough.

Carrico will make an impact offensively and defensively, but the QB will have to step up and take some pressure off of him. Salyers is very capable of doing that, that’s what makes this team dangerous. Question is can Gallia over come this?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

this should be a wild one.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

if the tigers don't shoot themselves in the paw with turnovers and penalties,then I think they are the stronger team.
