Ironton's Key players for 08 season

[da_other_c_miller21]

In your alls opinion who do you all think will make big impacts during the clutch situations or the ones who won't fall under pressusre for the win? Also who would u like to see have a good season?


Personally i would like to see Keith Wetzel have another great season as well as Chance Freeman. I would like to see Jonathon Schiweikart step-up and be a great leader for our team this year.

I look for Murphy, Schweickart, Freeman, and Brice to step-up and be the leaders of this team. I also look for the new comer, Michael Lamb, to have a good season along with Jon Monnig.

all of the above should really make a successful season, along with a very heavily impressive junior and sophmore class, Can't wait to get it started

Good luck to the Tigers this season ,I have always been a Tiger fan even though they have beaten my Rockets in the past they are my second team ,and what a good one to have.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

IF MURPH'S IN SHAPE, HE CAN WRITE HIS OWN D1 TICKET.
SCHWIECKART, FREEMAN, WUETZEL , BRICE SHOULD ALL BE SOLID. BUT DON'T FORGET THE EARTH MOVERS. WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE YOUNGUNS I SAW LAST YEAR, THOUGH I CAN'T REMEMBER MANY OF THE NAMES. I REALLY LOOK FOR CRAMBLITT TO BE A BEAST. HE WAS A GIANT KILLER LAST YEAR.

Yeah i agree with all your alls opinions . I will be a junior startin fresh in football most likely be on JV to get playing time next year I hope will be good enough to play varsity everygame. Not that I am just trying for a jv spot, I mean I will try my hardest just to be out there no matter how much game-play I get.

If Tony Murphy comes in condition, I fully believe he can go anywhere he wants to. I don't think it would be as a running back though. While of course, Tony will be awesome running the ball as well, I personally think his greatest play would come on the the other side (I said that before last year too) He will be on the other team's QB's mind every snap if he does come in ready to play. The boy is just a natural born brute..period! He's not like other kids

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

you can be a blocking dummy, or you can be a block. don't sell yourself short. you need to set down now . and make out 5 shortterm goals. and 3 longterm goals for your progress this year.

[The Riepo Man]

If Murphy shows up ready to play more than 2 downs in a row then he will be one heck of a wrecking ball...trust me I know.

[kantuckyII]

The kid has a God given talent that most people only dream of having. It's up to him to develop it...

I can still see him flipping Ashland's Matt Thomas through the air last year...ouch! man, he hit that kid so hard!

I dont really know how much of it is talent. The kid is strong but if many were his size they would be too. I dont know how smart he is either...on or off the field but if he works hard enough he could be great.

[kantuckyII]

My impression of Tony is that he's always been pleasant and very respectful to me. Easy going and he seems to take life in stride. I kinda think his strength isn't a result of his size (I'm sure it doesn't hurt though) but it's just natural. His brothers were all good football players as well at Ironton. I remember seeing his brother Jared knock a kid out in a basketball game when he was a senior. He didn't mean to, he was just slapping at the ball and his hand came down on the kid's head. You could hear it slap way up in the stands and down the kid went.

I look for Tony to have a good year....Along with Erin Edins and Howie Lucas on Defence....

[hoot]

Their line must improve a great deal if they are to compete with Logan.Good luck Tigers in 2008.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]
