Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

If you consider the big stage as being the state championship game you have a valid point. Look at all of the teams the Fighting Tigers beat to get to the championship game, do you consider those games as not being on the big stage? Sounds like it if you are considering the Cabel Midland game as be...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Ironton's line is fine, in my opinion, they are undersized though, but their offense doesn't rely on them holding blocks too long. They could run into an issue if they needed to run the ball due to weather, or because the defense could match their athletes but I think their biggest problem is depth...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Games are won and lost on the line of scrimmage. All the “big games” mentioned here, were lost on the line of scrimmage. Ironton may have had more talent in most of those games at “skilled” positions but not on the Line of scrimmage. If you go back to I great Ironton teams of the past, 78, 81,82,88...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

True, but I expect that playing a good D1 school. Not when playing other D5 schools. Thats fair but 2 things. 1. At some point Ironton has to win these big marquee matchups on big stages with big hype or the story becomes = Ironton folds when the lights are brightest. 2..prior to game our fanbase c...

Re: September 15, 2023 South Point - Ironton

Ironton couldnt lose to SP if they tried to. SP is just there man. Go enjoy the experience. LOL Last time ya have to ta...

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 15, 2023 South Point - Ironton

The Pointers should be facing a different team this week than what they scouted. Should be some changes in who plays where. If not, Tigers won’t see the Regional Finals. They’ll be shooting hoops. As far as Terry, Roach and Patterson, i’m fairly confident you’ll see The Tigers this Friday without t...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Kirtland and South Range won because those teams were well coached, had excellent game plans, executed said game plans, and made no mistakes. While Ironton made lots of mistakes, and, in the case of Kirtland, didn’t seem to have any game plan. In these games, Ironton was by far the more talented te...

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

Awesome high school football game! Could have went either way. I thought Ironton would win but in reality, after watching the game, there was no way the score would have gone in the tiger's favor. Also, I wouldn't be surprised, if there's a QB change. Ironton linebackers are undersized and it showe...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

You can twist the enrollment #’s all you want but with the number of transfers Ironton has they don’t have a D5 enrollment for Football (more like D3), and if they weren’t very creative in their use of apartments and housing their CB Numbers would represent that. Fact is when Ironton plays teams of...

Cabell Midland has an Enrollment of 1,825 total. Huntington has an enrollment of 1,806 total. Ironton has an enrollment of 348 total. Midland and Huntington has larger single grades than Ironton’s high school does total. They SHOULD beat Ironton. Spring Valley has 996 total enrollment. Kudos to Iro...

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

Everyone gets excited when a team plays a “d1” team around here. It’s not that uncommon up north, in fact, D5 Garfield beat a d1 team already and Roger bacon d4 this year whipped a d1 team too. Cabell was the better team of the two on this game. Turn over or not. Cabell was great competition to get...

How about if we took the best “A” team in WV and put them against a respectable D I here from Ohio. I’d be willing to wager same results.
