Round 2 Ironton vs. New Lexington at JACKSON

[Mouth's Better Half]

Tigfan,
Scouting tip for New Lex: We are going to run it right at you. Hope that helps.--- I love it!Tony Murphy is going to run right at you! Wetzel is going to run right at you! Another tip, we are a second half team. So, you had better score your points in the first half ! Gotta go with the TIGERS --- the Seniors want this bad!TIGERS win and advance !!!

Heck new lex could go back 30 years of our game film and still have a great idea of what we are going to do. The game plan hasnt changed. We are going to line up and run it right at you and dare you to stop us. Only thing that changes is the names.

New Lex has a second half scoring team, but their D is an all around thing. We'll see who has the better second half.

[Tigercannon71]

Thats good because Coach Lutz is the maste rof 2nd half adjustments so New Lex better come up with something great if they want to beat Ironton in the 2nd half.

[Mouth's Better Half]

You only have had to be at a few games that were won at the last moment. He can lead a group of f-ball players to know they will win, and they do!I think it will be a close game. But I am a believer so I will have to go with the TIGERS!

Hats off to Keith Wetzel!! Keith is always giving a 110%. Bob is a master at making adjustments. We held Westfall to 3 pts. the second half. His adjustments worked. I am sure this will be a great game, but have to go with my Tigers!!!!

I'm excited about this game. No one could deny that Ironton isn't the Underdog here but...what changes this bunch has gone through in the last few weeks and because of that, I think the Tigers have a great chance at winning this game but...it's going be very tough

Glad that the game is at Jackson as well. Great stadium, great lighting and great seating. When the leadership at OHSAA changed a few years ago, the scheduling started making a whole lot more sense..thank Goodness!

[NICKNEVADA]

Is Tank Whaley currently on the Bengal roster?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

NLPanther most people making ridiculous predictions from what I can tell are not from Ironton.

I guess having tiger in your name doesn't necessarily mean your from Ironton...

------------------------------- hmm, 7 posts you've made. and you SAY YOU ARE FROM NEW LEX. i don't buy it, why would it matter what my user name is to you , and where i live. folks i thinks what we have here is a typical CASE OF TIGER ENVY. IT WILL EAT YOU UP, IF YOU LET IT.

New Lex is in for a surprise the Tigers will come out with a victory

[Brutusfan]

If coach Lutz is the master of adjustments at halftime why does Ironton have 3 losses? Did he not go to those 3 games?

[Mouth's Better Half]

Were you at any of the three losses?

[Tigercannon71]

You gotta hold onto the ball for the adjustments to work.

[Mouth's Better Half]

Yes, you must hold onto the ball. Maybe we could chant that! No, seriously though,the three losses were three tough teams. I think the Tiger men have learned from that. We have improved as a team. I know it will all come together Friday! Go TIGERS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL THESE NEW NAMES ON HERE. IT MAY MAKE OUR MEMBERSHIP LOOK BIGGER. BUT I EXPECT IT'S MOSTLY ALTER EGO'S. DON'T KNOW WHO YOU FOLLOW. BUT WERE YOUR 3 LOSSES ANYTHING LIKE :

WHEELERSBURG--D5. IN PLAYOFFS STILL
CHILLICOTHE D2/D3 NOT SURE- IN PLAYOFFS STILL
LOGAN D2-IN PLAYOFFS STILL.

MOST TEAMS CAN NOT EVEN LAY CLAIM TO PLAYING EVEN ONE OF THEM, MUCH LESS ALL 3. AND THATS JUST PART OF THE BRUTAL SCHEDULE THE FIGHTING TIGERS PLAYED. THATS WHY THEY ARE ADVANCING IN THE PLAYOFFS. THEY FINISHED 7-3. AND HIGH ENOUGH IN THEIR REGION TO HOST THEIR FIRST GAME. THE SCHEDULE, IS WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE NOW. GOOD GOSH GET OVER IT. YOU'D THINK THAT YOU'D BE HAPPY FOR THEM. WE ARE THRILLED ABOUT ALL THE OTHER LOCAL TEAMS THAT ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS. BETTER US FROM THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE. BE HAPPY.

[TIGERS90]

The wheelersburg loss was the 1st game of the year...and I would bet that if Ironton played the burg nine more times that six of them would be blow outs and the other three not close games...all ironton wins...first game jitters and screw-ups...as for Logan...they were for real this year and have a great team...ironton got beat...as far as chilli...we didn't play well...had alot of injuries and just couldn't get our act together that night...

As far as ironton NOW...

Ironton has for the 1st time in four years started showing the desire that it takes to win...leadership has come out from the senior class and the kids are starting to believe that they can win...something that this senior class has never done.

once this group decides that they will win like tiger football was in the eightees...then they will be tough to beat...they have the weapons to win it all...I have said that all year...they just have to believe in themselves...it is starting to happen...just hope it does.

I feel that the line has been good all year...just hope that Lutz's 1st half game plan is as good as last weeks second half...let the line blitz...don't hold back.

DB's are starting to play ball...just need to never let themselves get beat...got lucky a couple of times last week on the bomb that it was overthrown...keep that in check and play the 4-4....I think it will be a long night for NL

DON'T FORGET '99 WE WERE 6-3 ENTERING THE PLAYOFFS...AND RUNNERS UP THAT YEAR

[Brutusfan]

BUT WERE YOUR 3 LOSSES ANYTHING LIKE

NL only lost 1 game. That game was to the #1 ranked team in the state in Div. 3. NL should have one that game.
Last time I checked turnovers were part of the game. I hate hearing excuses like if we didn't turn the ball over four times we would have won. Makes no sense at all because they DID turn the ball over. If you want to use that as an excuse for losing then maybe Lutz should have ADJUSTED his lineup and put the players turning the ball over on the bench. Just my thought!
I really, really hope the Tigers come into this game thinking they are going to walk all over this Panther team. Can't wait till Friday.

[TIGERS90]

BRUISER....it sounds like to me that you must be from a losing football program....if you don't believe that you can win...normally you don't win...doesn't sound like you have much experience in winning from the comments that you have made...just my opinion

And correct me if I am wrong...last time I checked...kentucky had one of the most successful basketball programs in the nation...just like ironton has in high school football...but I guess that would be thumping our chests...

[hooman03]

This will be a very good game. I am going to have to go with New Lex. Should be a good one.
