Re: Heath @ Ironton

IRONTON 35-6 to much speed for Heath I’m an Ironton fan, Ironton born and raised. But where is all of this speed people keep mentioning? The only real state class speed on this team is Terry. There are other players who may be OVC fast, but that isn’t “speed”. We have to be able to put some long dr...

Re: Heath @ Ironton

No. I seen more lack of offensive continuity and an offense bailed out by big plays vs a very weak barely d5 team. I also seen last night's qb put the ball on the ground at least twice but Ironton was fortunate and fell on it. I believe that happened about 4 or 5 times total. I seen more issues at ...

Re: DV R19

I can only comment on what I have seen personally in the region and I think, Prep, Ironton, or Burg are the clear favorites but I have Burg slightly favored. Here's how I rank each team's positions, first through third. Honestly, all three have good players in these positions so these are who I thi...

Re: Based on Irontons performance the last 3 weeks I have them on upset alert immediately.

Ironton should be the favorite to win the regional title. But, they are lacking an identity on offense. I understand they have plenty of playmakers at their disposal. But, also they tend at times to get away from what works also. I’m just an observer here. Not a coach, alumn , or anything else. I’l...

Re: Based on Irontons performance the last 3 weeks I have them on upset alert immediately.

Ironton will have to face a gauntlet of a very underrated Heath team (probably), Harvest Prep, and Wheelersburg (probably) to win the region. I haven’t seen enough offensive firepower to make me feel confident they can run the gauntlet.

Re: DV R19

100% agree. Honestly cannot believe it fell this way. I think we all can agree its Ironton, HP, Burg as the top 3 teams in this region -- in that order. For Burg to land at 7 and HP at 4 is a stroke of luck for the Pirates. Fairland is a weak 2 seed. Burg will sleepwalk to the Regional final. Givin...

Re: October 20, 2023 Ironton 21 - 6 Portsmouth

Ironton isn't crisp in any aspect of the game & haven't been. They looked sharper in the first three weeks of the season than they have the last 3 weeks. Ironton has regressed as the season has progressed. O line is slow in run game. No continuity at Center. Ball exchange issues. Can't run the ...

Re: September 15, 2023 South Point - Ironton

After watching Ironton practice today, I realize they are NOT going to try anyone else at the center position so they will live and die by the bad snap/bad blocking combination. You can’t tell me there aren’t better options at center on the sidelines, even if it happens to be a freshman. Swallow th...

Re: September 8, 2023 Ironton 21 - 35 Cabell Midland (WV)

Ironton needs to find 2 linemen to go along with #52, #55, and #64. Those three have proven to be the only strong pieces to a solid o-line. I feel #78 will come around with experience but they certainly need to find 2 more. If need be, try some of the sophomore linemen. Maybe even throw a lineman n...

First thing, the “This is the best team of the Pendleton era and possibly the best Ironton team in recent memory” has been laid to rest. Also, stop telling these kids that. Let them find their own identity. This team has an opportunity to be a very good football team who makes a deep playoff run. Al...

Re: September 8, 2023 Coal Grove 20 - 33 South Point

The Grove needs to find another skill position player to go with Gipson. He’s a talented kid with the ball in his hands but he seems to be all they have. The current RB is extremely small and will not hold up against defenses like Ironton. I’d like to see #8 get healthy, I believe he could be that o...
