Wk 14: (9-4) Wheelersburg vs. (12-1) Ironton

[kantucky]

I don't know, maybe there's some reason unknown to me that the game wouldn't be hosted in Portsmouth?...but if there's no problem with Portsmouth, why in God's Green Earth would OHSAA send both teams fan's traveling 45 miles (for Ironton and not much better for Burg) to Jackson?? I'll drive it if I have to but.......why? I know one thing...Rooster's in Waverly loved seeing Ironton in town...it was packed with Tiger fans..

I nailed the outcome of tonight's HP game, including a running clock in the 4th qt but...Burg? they worry me  

It tickles me seeing some of the predictions from neutral schools talking and telling what Ironton needs to do to win...they're so....well, generic.... it quacks me up! they're usually just......'football cliche's'

You mean like “house money’ ? Lol I hate that one.

The trolls haven’t made it on the board yet but they are coming. Don’t let them fool you. Real Burg fans are excited to watch this game and we are hoping for a victory. We know the burg kids will be prepared and play hard but by we also know football and understand that Ironton is really good and it’s going to take burg all four quarters to make a go at it.

Trust me, I would be the last person to dish Burg’s program. I LOVE to see my Tiger’s beat them but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect their program. The thing I’ve always noticed about Wheelersburg is you have to play them hard all four quarters. You can have them down 17 points starting the fourth quarter and they’re going to come right back at you hard and pay no attention to the board. I’ve seen that for many many years..guess it’s just ingrained in the program

Look at their playoff picture this year, they start out 0 - 3, they're 2 & 4 after six weeks but yet they’re playing for the regional championship this coming Friday. I stand to be corrected, but if I’m not wrong, I think Ironton was 6 & 3 going into the playoffs in 1999 and finish the second in the state.

Then.. take 2021, Ironton takes down Wheelersburg to open up the season 40 to 6. Week 3 of the playoffs and Burg shocks Ironton fans….knocking the Tigers out by shutting down Ironton’s supercharged offense 17 - 14.

All that to say this….Burg doesn't know they’re the underdog. They think they’re the giant killers. I predict one heck of a great game between two storied and celebrated programs! South Point’s stadium will probably see the largest crowd they’ve ever seen, it’s going be standing room only early

No way this game will be at South point if it is it's a joke it should played in portsmouth just like 3 years ago so hopefully portsmouth put into host why wouldn't they cause it will be a huge money maker for them as far as concession stands and pay for parking but who knows I've seen ohsaa do some stupid poop before

I heard Portsmouth did not want to host

[Nicknevada86]

Probably true after ironton demolished them almost 100 to 0 lol phs didn't want to even see irontons team again

[Bfan99]

South point should be a good host, South points stadium is bigger than Waverly stadium that hosted a regional championship game a few years ago

[Sonny Weaver]

PHS did put in for it, not sure why they didn’t get it. But game is confirmed at South Point. Can’t wait to watch from 30 yards off the field that track is massive

[Jeaux Burreaux]

Really south point is where this goes?? There were so many better options

Always trust the OHSAA to make a bad decision.

[REDMEN95]

Rock Hill is the best place to host this game!

I watched a game there on stream & the field looked brand new & so did away bleachers.

Did the Pointers upgrade???

[The Nature Boy]

South Point is good. The Burg can wave at the Ironton fans as they drive past Ironton on their way home as Regional Champs. Yes, I'm stirring the pot.

[The Nature Boy]

2-15 Burg ruined Pendleton and the Le Tigres. Lol.

[The Nature Boy]

I wish both teams the best and whomever wins represent Southern Ohio.

[wobycat]

Question for tiger fans. Has Terry been shut out of the end zone in any game this year?

[gobucs20]

If ironton doesn't turn the ball over and get 27 holding penalties called on them they will be fine. Skill wise this team is outstanding. Just don't beat yourselves.

Didn’t you say the OL/DL was going to lose the battle last week.

HP Had No Sacks.

They only rushed for 30yds.

Ironton is for real.

Not true. Portsmouth did put in to host
South Point must seat more than the Coliseum and parking came in to factor. Only thing I can think of. Who knows

[ohbuckeye2]

Rock Hill is the best place to host this game!

Agree
