Two years ago, Ironton took a step back getting humiliated in the state title game. The team looked unprepared and were sloppy.fielddaddy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 10:10 ammaybe all those new faces want to win maybe they don't care if they start or not because they know they will still get playing time and be part of a winning team.RBH23 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:05 amWhat are people going to say next year?

Are they recruits or transfers? Some of those recruits or transfers barely play or don’t play. Ashland qb is not a starter. Pittman he barely played and when he did he’s not had much impact. Felder is really good. The best back in my opinion. Keyes has power. The excuse is going to run out sooner or later. I don’t care at all. Whatever school should load up. I keep getting sucked into these ridiculous threads lol. It’s addicting like daytime soaps.
These lame excuses Ironton only wins because of recruits is just that lame.
The statement kids are being ripped from their schools and teams and friends is even stupider.
Young men are wanting to be winners and part of a team that works to build and win.
Say what you will Pendelton is working and teaching these young men to be their best.
They just don't get to practice and play they are required to be a part of the community by doing community service encouraged to get summer jobs and create a work ethic.
To support each other when called upon to play be ready.
Pendleton is building something at Ironton and young men want to be a part of that.
Other coaches and schools either need to step up or continue to allow Ironton to recieve their players.
So whine all you want and bring up what you will.
Ironton is only getting better and it is showing
Last year, they lost to a far inferior team in the regional semifinals, a game Ironton had no business losing.
So this year, three new faces were added with one having a huge impact. We’ll see if this translates to success in the playoffs, or another disappointing performance.
