In Ironton's case it could come down to lack of conditioning.......strength, flexibility, and endurance. Perhaps something is missing in those 3 components. I can say with confidence that Wheelersburg is a program where excellent conditioning is clearly evident. Having see the Pirates in person, I was very impressed at how many kids didn't have a lot body fat. It's no accident that the best programs always seem to have the best conditioned athletes.

Of course kids can get injured due to misfortune on the football field, but to have a 3-4 year run of massive injuries leads me to believe that what is happening at Ironton is maybe more than just misfortune.

Agree Dave, it's more then just walking to the water coolers during practice. No doubt about it though, Ironton has been injury plagued like no other team I can recall the last few seasons. Missed some really good players taking the field.

For the last two seasons Ironton has shown that they wouldn't give up after getting beat early in the season. Last year starting out the year 0-4 while this season starting out the season 1-3. Both seasons the Tigers suffered huge losses of athletes from injuries. This season was a bad one for sure. From what I have, out for the season, Starters, Tanner Wilson, Andrew Scott, Chase Rowe, Seth Fosson and Brady Rowe. Three knee surgeries one ankle and a severe concussion. Then you have top back ups in Ryan Payne and Ayden Barnes both out for the season. Trent Klaiber everyone would have thought would have been out for the season after looking at his leg a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like he will be coming back real soon. Add those to Cody Rowe and Levi Langdon who weren't able to start the season until around the Chesepeake game and you have a lot of new young faces making up this Ironton football team. This bunch has done it all year and now are really starting to know how to play as a unit.
Bait, I have to say it has got to do with a little bit of a couple of things I believe. As far as my youngen, that was pure bad luck for two seasons in a row, when you sack another team's quarterback and your leg whips around and your ankle cracks off of your own player's shoulder pad, totally breaking the bone, that is bad luck. And then the following season to completely jump over the opposing team's last hope at tackling you and not get touched, but when you come down your foot is turned so that it snaps the ACL and Meniscus. Yes Bad Luck.

On the other hand, There were numerous kids who joined the team late this year, after physical fitness and after two a days were completed. I believe that has a lot to do with injuries. I think football conditioning is a conditioning all of it's own. If you aren't ready, you aren't ready.

My son does Yoga at least one day a week if not more, when he is not hurt. He said this year after doing this it was amazing how much easier it was to play football, as it was easier to bend etc. The whole Raceland football team does Yoga as a team. I believe this would be a very smart addition to any team. Stretches prior to the game, strangely opposite to my previous belief, I was recently told could actually cause injury. Came from a doctor of knee's and shoulder's. This of course had to do mostly with the knee injury's . I really don't know how much to say is Turf related. I do know that for years Ironton had a beautiful football field covered in grass that was like landing on a pillow that you never had to worry about grabbing your cleats. There are so many advantages of having Turf vs. grass including the maintenance. Tough question for sure, but I have to say that I have not seen a school have close to as many injuries over the last couple of years as has Ironton for such a small school.

Ironton has had a inordinate amount of non contact lower leg injuries. Everyone points to the turf as the culprit. I just read an article the other day that says it is the shoes that are worn in conjunction with the turf. I don't know much about whether the Ironton team switched shoes when the turf arrived, but this article suggested that wearing the standard football cleat provides too much traction on the turf, and would lead to more lower leg injuries due to the cleats "grabbing" the turf. What type of shoe was Tanner wearing?

if that's the case. it could perhaps limit injuries switching to a turf cleat.

I think we need to go back to grass. We aren't just taking about leg injuries, but how many broken bones have we had? How many concussions? There something going on that need to be fixed.
