Jackson 34 Wellston 13

by **boilermaker** » June 8th, 2012, 9:12 pm

78 days until the rubber match, Coach Hutchinson's third year. 2010 a dominating performance by his Rockets from start to finish 33-13 Rockets.
2011 jackson wins 35-0 ,but there (in my mind) always be a * by this score because of "transfer" 14-0 at half time and jackson pulled away in the fourth to win with the * performance.
This years game will be a battle I cant speak for the ironmen ,but the Rockets are working hard in the weightroom, and getting ready to go into the summer schedule full go! The Rockets will be ready to go come 8-25-12. Wellston will win this game and have a great season.
Go Rockets! :mrgreen:

Jackson by 10 or more...

Same old same old for these two teams . . . Wellston will underacheive and be 4-6 or 5-5 at best and Jackson will be overrated and win a lot of games in an SEOAL that is as down as I have ever seen it.

Please explain the basis for the statement that the "SEOAL is as down as I have ever seen it."

Yea, I'd like to hear this!

Having had 27 years of coaching experience in the S.E.O.A.L . Im no longer coaching in that league but remember a lot of past seasons and talent in that league. I think I can say that the league was down last year. I can remember some very tough Jackson, Gallia Academy, Logan and Warren teams all competing in the same year. Several times there were years the league would have multiple teams in the play offs Maybe things will improve but if you look at the records of the league teams last year Logan 1-9 Warren 5-5 Gallia Academy 6-4 Chillicothe 3-7 Portsmouth 3-7 even non league Ironton did not have the typical Ironton season 6-4. So yes it was down.

Guess I don't have to provide much info for my statement . . . someone that has actually coached in the league provided the info needed. However, let's just go back to the 2003 or 2004 seasons . . . Jackson/playoffs, Logan/playoffs, Gallia Academy/playoffs, Athens had a very solid team in 2003. Since the basis of this thread is Jackson/Wellston, in 2004 for example . . . Jackson played 5 teams with winning records (beat 4 of them), 3 or 4 of the 5 were playoff teams (not sure about Waverly and Logan), and went to Cincinnati and defeated the number one ranked team in their region. In 2011 Jackson went 10-0 and didn't even host a playoff game. You tell me how weak that schedule was GalliaGrad78?

This is about the Wellston - jackson game, not the strength of the SEOAL! :shock:

Hope TIME WARNER puts this one on,ondemand again.

I can't argue with what has happened in the past but;

50% of Jackson's wins came against non-SEOAL teams with a combined record of 20-32.
50% came against SEOAL teams with combined records of 18-32.

I am not sure if that means anything accept that Jackson was unfortunate that their non-league opponents didn't have very good records.

Yes, the SEOAL teams didn't fare well against non-league opponents last year.

Down last year? Yes
This year? Who knows?

I seriously doubt that Jackson will run roughshod over the SEOAL this year.

This is just an opinion from an old lady who doesn't go by stats, leagues, or records, just an Ironman fan. You never really know if a team or a league, for that matter is down, until after the season is played. Wellston has kicked our butts in the past and could do it again. This is one of my favorite games of the year. The team that will win will be the one best prepared both physically and mentally. I'm hoping for a Jackson win, but won't count my chicks till the eggs are hatched. Hoping for all of southeast Ohio leagues and teams to have a good year, and to be able to represent our part of the state in the playoffs.

by **Da Bears** » June 17th, 2012, 10:36 pm

Not trying to argue GalliaGrad78 . . . I like the SEOAL. I think it is/was a very good league. However, I feel that the last 3 years or so it has been way down in the quality of teams and players. As for staying on subject . . . sorry Boilermaker . . . battle of 2 not very good teams . . . Jackson by 2-3 touchdowns. I have been at the game the last 3 years. Wellston had a great gameplan in 2010 and completely outcoached and outplayed Jackson. They played to win. Last year it looked like they were playing very conservative and playing not to lose. I am also sure there were some very difficult emotions going on with the Rockets because of the defection. I might even try and make it 4 years in a row to this game. The atmosphere is always great. It makes me miss coaching very much. Good luck to both teams.

Boilermaker without that transfer that went to Jackson you would not have won in 2010

by **boilermaker** » June 18th, 2012, 9:21 pm

2-gun,,without that "transfer " Jackson would have been lucky to go .500 last year! :oops:

by **firecracker** » July 8th, 2012, 2:31 pm

Wellston better bring there best, don't want to here them cry after they lose. Ironmen have some x-tremely good talent and some very hungry young players just itching to get some playing time.

by **firecracker** » July 8th, 2012, 2:38 pm

Hope Wellston brings there best, don't want to here them cry around after a lose at there new stadium.

by **boilermaker** » July 8th, 2012, 7:04 pm

Tears of joy !

I was told a couple of players from Wellston may be playing for Nelsonville-York this year? Is their any truth to that all?

The story i heard was they moved to nelsonville to live with their father.

by **green&yellow** » July 31st, 2012, 11:24 am

IMO repeat of last years game. Jackson all the way. Hopeful for good sportsmanship and an injury free game for both teams. May the best team win.

by **firecracker** » July 31st, 2012, 5:59 pm

My thoughts for this game, Jackson 35, Wellston 14.
Wellston will play the first quarter strong, but will fade out after that. Jackson will catch on to their offense and crush them.

by **ironman02** » August 6th, 2012, 8:00 pm

Anyone have Wellston's scrimmage info?

Here is Jackson's...

Saturday, August 11th - AT Meigs - 10:00AM

by **ironman02** » August 6th, 2012, 9:46 pm

Thanks, HSFBFAN.

by **IronmenTradition** » August 7th, 2012, 1:17 pm

My prediction is that Wellston won't get 100 total yards this game and the Ironmen will pull this one out. This defense seems to be VERY strong and the back bone of this team. Offense will struggle at times but the run game shouldn't have too much trouble and eventually will be too much for the Rockets to handle. Expecting a hard fought hard hitting game .

TRUTH^^^

by **boilermaker** » August 11th, 2012, 2:40 pm

After watching the scrimmage with Meigs ,this game will be a battle . These two teams match up well this year ,but as always the ironmen will have a decided numbers advatage atleast double the kids and probably more .Starting 11 looks to be even though. :idea:

GO ROCKETS!!!!
