Another tough matchup for the Ironmen. They competed at Portsmouth and I expect them to compete tonight against a very worthy opponent.

The inside game will get to Jackson

[ironmen200]

Gross can stop London, so what other inside game is there?

[Out of Bounds]

With London blocking and changing shots in the middle the Ironmen will have to have an excellent shooting night from the perimeter and foul line. I think the Ironmen have a shot to get one here if the play balls out!

I have not seen my Chillicothe boys play this year. I know that Malik is a force to play with no matter who he is playing. He may not have the best offensive game, but he can hang with the best of them guarding the opponents best big man. I hear Z.Johnson is playing lights out. Who is Jacksons best player(s)? I look for it to be close as it is on the road in a hostile enviroment. Ill take my Cavs by 11. Malik with 14 and 14, Johnson with 25+

[Ironman92]

I hope Gross can cover and keep London from a good game, but I'm not sure of what experience he might have versus the 6'8 D1 player.

Cavs win on johnsons 3pter at the buzzer. 47-44

[Rabeanos0512]

Well. Sounds like a good game. What did Jackson do to keep this one a low scoring game? I was not there nor did I listen to it. Lets hear it!

[Bronc21]

Looks like nobody stopped London . 21pts. 15 rebounds. 7 blocks.

[Ironman92]

WOW...one of the best games I've ever witnessed at Jackson. Jackson played so well and with tremendous effort all night. Zach Johnson for Chillicothe came in scoring 25 a game but struggled most of the game....but in the absolute most important time he rims in a 27 footer with pressure. I had the best angle possible and as it left his hands it didn't look to have much of a chance but it had a touch of a curve to it and went in with between 1.5-2.0 seconds. Jackson was not awarded a timeout in time and that was it.....another heartbreaker on that same side of the court for a Jackson team (getting tired of them)

For Jackson Luke Eisnaugle led the Ironmen with a great first half and Colt Chapman played unbelieveably once Eisnaugle left in the 3rd with foul trouble. Alec Ray played a critical role in Jackson's success. He had 8 points but his handling of pressure was just outstanding all night long. Chapman led the Ironmen with 19 points (one dunk) and 10 rebounds and almost all of the stats from the 2nd half. Eisnaugle had 10, Ray 8, Gross 2, Neal, 2 and Bachtel 2.

For Chillicothe Malik London was top notch for 32 minutes. He had 21 points ( 3 impressive dunks), 11 rebounds (according to Jackson radio, I thought he had more like 15) and 3 blocks (seemed like 5 or 6) and many unforced errors on Jackson players feeling a possible block. Johnson was struggling with just 2 points and then we foul him on the landing of a 3 point miss....then the 27 foot winner.

Chillicothe won the third quarter 15-6 I think.....it was Jackson by 1 when Eisnaugle left and we were down 34-27 before it ended.

Great game. Great effort and execution by Jackson. Man, I'm sick of buzzer beaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bvmv4life]

Wow!!! Just got back from Jackson...Great game by both teams..Jackson did their homework on Johnson,he was double teamed and at times triple teamed,that threw his game completely off...he made it up though with a deep three at the buzzer...Malik London probably could've had 30+,he was unstoppable offensively..he has to get more touches!! Cavs start the season 4-0(all road games) and is in need of a home game,one more away game tomorrow at Hamilton Twp. before their first home game vs the Trojans of Portsmouth Tuesday...Go Cavs!!

[jottings]

Need JV and freshman scores for standings. Thanks.

Great game all around, props to Jackson for executing their gameplan, and congratulations to Zach Johnson for fighting through the double and triple teams all night and keeping composure, it paid off in the end.
