Re: Consolidation and when will it effect SE Ohio ????

That’s is a problem communities are paying a price for new schools as the population shrinks as does the tax base.
Ironton residents are paying for the new school and now talking of raising water rates.
Sadly the money will run dry and those who have nothing to gain will continue to pay.

Re: Consolidation and when will it effect SE Ohio ????

I think it’s coming. East, green, new Boston, clay barely have enough kids to field a team. Maybe clay goes to valley, east, to new Boston or both to Portsmouth. Green to burg. Or with open enrollment that gives kids a option to go to a school with sports. Green is the best story of the year. Last ...

Consolidation and when will it effect SE Ohio ????

Now that the playoffs are here my question is How long before the state look at consolidating schools. You have many smaller schools that keep losing enrollment. And others that are getting smaller. Ironton it seems is constantly getting smaller as is Coal Grove , Green among others I know several y...

Re: WK #9 GALLIPOLIS (7-1) @ IRONTON (6-2)

This should be a great game. I intend to be at this game and look for a hard hitting game. Ironton only had 5 penalties called against Coal Grove but they was at key times for 60 yards. As for fumbles they fumbled 3 times losing 2 I believe also a interception that cost them possible points. Ironton...

Re: WK #9 GALLIPOLIS (7-1) @ IRONTON (6-2)

If Ironton plays solid defense Limits penalties And controls and holds on to the ball they can win. This is a hard hitting confident team. If they do not play under control allow emotions to cause penalties and turn the ball over or lose yards on penalties Gallia will beat them. The key to Ironton w...

Re: WEEK 8 -- 4-3 COAL GROVE @ 5-2 IRONTON -- BORDER WAR SPECIAL

Well the officials were awful and coaches can only take so much. Between them putting Sites under concussion protocol when HES HOLDING HIS LEG AFTER A ANKLE TACKLE and not letting him return is just wrong. The horse collar on CGs TD in the fourth that was very late. CG also had two more forced fumb...

Re: WEEK 8 -- 4-3 COAL GROVE @ 5-2 IRONTON -- BORDER WAR SPECIAL

I believe the refs was bad. It seemed in the second half they was calling a official timeout and neither team could get much momentum. Ironton truly needs to work on its turnovers a fumble inside their 10 lead to a CG Td. A interception kept points of the board for Ironton. And the penalties they ne...

Re: Gallia new football field?

Didn’t Gallia a few years ago try to implement pay to play.
I’m not trying to start nothing but just wondering because they was financially strapped for funds.
From what I remember they tried to pass levies but they failed.
So they talked about the pay to play.

Re: Gallia on top of the world

Ironton have a quality win? South point, rock hill, peak, fairland were all wins but the last 3 games are the best in the OVC they could easily finish 5-5 Those wins was league wins nothing Ironton could do about that. As for quality games I would consider Wheelersburg a quality opponent. I would c...

Re: WEEK 8 -- 4-3 COAL GROVE @ 5-2 IRONTON -- BORDER WAR SPECIAL

Ironton wins, but they should. They should win every conference game because it's a bad conference. Ironton wins out,then one and done in the playoffs. Not sure that the conference is bad but it’s not the strongest. Ironton has had some bad years in recruiting with the new staff I’m sure they will ...

Re: DIII, REGION 11

If Nelsonville was having a good year Athens would still have to beat them and then they may just lose to them and finish 8-2 and still out of playoffs.
It’s a double edge sword really

Re: DIII, REGION 11

I agree Athens knows playing down could hurt them.
The TVC may be down this year but the fact remains Athens is in a league that is to small for them.

Re: WEEK 8 -- 4-3 COAL GROVE @ 5-2 IRONTON -- BORDER WAR SPECIAL

Be like the Rock Hill game I believe.
Coal Grove will come out fired up and keep it close on emotions but Ironton will pull away.
Be a 2 touchdown win for Ironton but they will know they was in a fight.

Re: OVC Predictions

Ironton took care of business as did Gallia Both teams are playing great as of late and now looks like the OVC title will be down to those 2 teams. I look for Ironton to pull out the win but it won’t be easy as Gallia has shown they are for real. Ironton gets the edge due to them playing at home. He...

Re: Week 6: Chesapeake vs. Ironton

Be a tough first half but Ironton should wear them down.
Key will be keeping penalties down and turnovers.
Peak is improving steadily like Ironton is.
