JACKSON vs IRONTON scrimmage 8/23

[countywide35]

wheelersburg will have to wait till gameday to see the tiger starters I spect.

LOL I hope so, I have been around football for along time, not playing your starters in a pre season game to give them a real view on what they have to get better on will not help them in the real game one of the season, this is what you get with Unexperienced coaches I guess. Rest assured the Burg starters will get their reps this Friday night .. There is a big difference playing an opponent vs your own team, getting use to your own emotions and hype of the game..

I agree with that statement...….

Should be competitive. Good luck to a no injury battle

I would expect ironton will have at least 4-5 kids minimum going both ways. Carrico is obviously their stud. He is their most punishing runner led them in yards from scrimmage last year and is one of the highest rated lb’s in the state. Salyers is obviously starting qb but started at safety last year. He will play a lot both ways. Folsom (sp?). Is probably gonna play somewhere on defense and will start fullback. And I would say there will be a few more see lots of time both ways. They are gonna be a great team no question. It will be very interesting to see these two teams compete. Both should have great seasons

Fosson will play Dend and some fullback not the reverse

[countywide35]

interested to see what these teams are going to line up in and establish Friday night?? we going to see a two tight set and see who put the most effort in the weight rooms or we going to see some wide formations and showcasing the skilled positions ?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I hope the starters play myself.

[victor creed]

Max. Not if you win the toss and elect to receive. Lol then Fosson will play fullback first and then dline

[countywide35]

I hope the starters play myself.

had some football minded guys last night tell me that Ironton didn't show their starters at the OVC preview to allow them to be healthy for a showing inside alumni stadium. Cannot imagine guys like Andy Hall and Trevon Pendleton not let their guys get after it for a bit.

My son plays and I personally think he could use some more reps especially against a team like Jackson, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Jackson play but they always seem to have some big boys upfront and some big hard nosed running backs . Now how much should all the starters play I really don’t know that answer and glad I don’t have to make that decision

well considering you say could use more reps and only two posts on the site...im going to assume that your son starts for the fighting tigers.....and I hope the coaches see it your way with the thoughts of the starters getting and needing more reps.....im sure the Jackson coaches feel their starters need the reps after the one scrimmage with west....

I’m by no means a coach just a dad and that’s just my opinion, I’m sure the coaches aren’t going to consult with me about playing time or any other coaching decision hahahahaha. From what little I know about the coaching staff and coach Pendleton they seem to be very organized and have a plan ... someone said that Jackson’s coach and coach Pendleton are friends so if that’s the case I’m sure it’s already worked out and all of our guessing is for nothing

yes the relationship is good between the two coaches...…when Pendleton took the job in the spring...late spring I should say of 2018 it wasn't long and the Jackson coach opened up Alumni stadium for Pendleton to bring his kids up for a passing scrimmage....will say that about Coach Pendleton….he came into Ironton and immediately changed that program around.....they went from not having a coach and turmoil late into the off-season to finding themselves in the state play-offs.....

I find amazing it that a preseason scrimmage (albeit between two good teams) would generate the volume of posts that it has even before the scrum has occurred. Throw in talk about tailgating and local eateries, I would say fan interest in high school football is at an all time high in SE Ohio.

omega it definitely is for this contest...…both history rich in football...one program that hit the dumps for awhile then a coach coming in and less than 6months of his tenure he has them back in the playoffs.....other program is riding the back of the winningest coach in schools history, multiple league titles, state play-off appearances with the pressure of getting to the big game...…add in the fact that both teams are full of college athletes heading to the next level and for some a Power 5 school.....the starters wont see much time but they will see enough for the fans that show up early to get a feel of what it would be like if these two teams clashed for 4qrters with a mark going either in the W or L columns afterwards... this game would provide tons of play-off points...…this is a play-off type matchup for sure.....I would like to say sometime in the near future these tow teams will again be back on each others schedule.....but in the meantime this is all we are gonna get and there is quite bit of excitement on both sides to get to see a little bit of it....do expect a good crowd for the scrimmage in the nicest stadium SEO has to offer...…

I am coming up to see this one just as a curiosity before the Week 1 match-up, and I will be at Rowdy's for some bbq either before or after (maybe both lol) the game. In the words of Roy D. Mercer, I just wanna see how big of boys these Ironmen and Tigers are lol...
