Re: 2019 Gallia Academy Blue Devils Outlook

Good to see the Blue Devil program back on track and making progress. I hope they get the facilities they deserve. Keep up the good work.

Re: 2019 Ironton Tigers Outlook

Good things happening. Lost two we shouldn't have lost. Playoff game was closer than most expected and if the Tigers tie the game toward the end, who knows how that would have turned out. Were much more competetive with the Burg and Tomcats than recent years. Youth and inexperience will no longer be...

Re: Ohsaa making Cheerleaders pay to cheer?

This is the biggest bunch of nonsense I have ever heard of. If it is true, the OHSAA needs to answer for this. The Columbus Dispatch and other large city papers should be all over this asking questions etc. Do OHSAA members, their family and friends have to pay to get in games? I bet not. And if the...

Re: OHSAA FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS ?

I am aware of that. I played in that game in 1980. But there is a big difference geographically between Ironton and Steubenville. You would think he would be aware of that. When I explained that Ironton was in Southern Ohio on the river, most thought of Cincinnati. When I told them that it was on th...

Re: OHSAA FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS ?

I believe I have told this story before but it is worth telling again. It is how the northerners view SEO. And that includes coaches. When I was at Akron, I got a call from the D Coordinator to show a recruit around for the weekend. I asked why he chose me. He said you're from SEO and so is this rec...

Re: Region 19 #8 Ironton @ #1 Johnstown-Monroe

I would like to see the Tigers get a win but I would be more confident if they hadn't lost their last two games. Not the best way to enter the playoffs.

Re: Region 15 #7 Licking Valley @ #2 Gallia Academy

Don't agree with OHSAA on this one. GAHS earned a home game and it should be played there. I bet the OHSAA never intended to let the Blue Devils play at home. They just needed to negotiate a place to play. I hope the Blue Devils rocks it and sticks it OHSAA for this move. Just more incentive to win....

Re: Week 11 Ironton vs Johnstown

I think when they are on there game,and not making the silly mistakes and unforced turnovers,that the Tigers can play with just about anyone. With the exception of the game with Wheelersburg, I'm beginning to wonder if the Mental part of the game is starting to become a factor in some of these game...

Re: Portsmouth 35 Ironton 28

Last week the Tigers were playing for an OVC championship and a home game in the 1st round. They blew it. This week they were playing for a 1st round home game. They blew it. Portsmouth played for a playoff spot that was not guaranteed and they took care of business on their end. Complacency vs hung...

Re: Gallia Academy 36 Ironton 33

Let us not forget that 4-6 record last year was largely a result of key players being injured over a period of several weeks. Not making excuses, just stating the obvious. There is an attitude change at IHS and that was much needed. However, I have not seen any change in penalties, fumbles etc this ...

Re: Parker a call from Urban

All this talk about Parker going on to the next level, more talk on not being able to make the grades and others saying that he needs to leave Portsmouth. What if he only wants to play ball with his friends and could not care less about going to college? He's still a teenager. Urban recognized his t...

Re: Hypothetical question?

Success one year does not translate to success the following year or beyond. Talent and ability changes from year to year. Continuity in a head coach is important but even assistants come and go. Getting the right players into the right positions is crucial. Injuries decimated the Tigers last year. ...

Re: Parker a call from Urban

Why in the world would anybody put down an opportunity for an athlete, regardless of the sport, from this area? Your opinions mean nothing unless you have Urban's ear. He apparently is interested in what has seen or he wouldn't have contacted him personally. That alone says a lot.

Good for Parker. Hope more SEO players get the recognition they deserve. Even if things don't come to fruition with OSU. just Urban's personal interest alone in Parker may turn other D1 coaches eyes his way. Back in 1982, Woody Hayes was asked to speak with the Ironton players the night before the S...

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

I'm taking Gallia by a score. Maybe two. Close for three quarters, but Armstrong breaks a big one late and tames the Tigers. GA 33-20 Campbell is the big runner in this one. Hoping for an injury free game. Two of the top 6 or 7 teams in SEO going at it. The Four Headed Monster moves to 8-1 on the y...
