I had a feeling Ironton could compete and possibly beat the Pointers. Great job Tigers!!!! Keep it up!!!!

Congrats to the Tigers. Way to represent the SEOAL. We needed a W after the slow start to the tourney.

Don't count out these Tigers advancing. They have a very good team and a very good coach.

GO CAVS!!!

Looks like South Points 20-0 season goes to 20-1 and being knocked off in their first tourney game. Great job by the Fighting Tigers of holding off the Pointers for the win.

Good job Tigers!!!!Going back to the Convo....Tigers play at the Convo on Sunday 24th at 2:00pm and will play #13 Adena/#5 Peebles....

Wow Ironton won......extremely sad to hear this. But goodluck in the districts even so.

Ohhhh well, I guess the "Patriot fever" is going around this season lol...its okay Pointers! You had an undefeated season and it wasn't just for nothing, don't listen to people that I know are going to tell you it was. Be proud because not hardly anybody can say they went undefeated during a season. Its not the end of the world :-D

Hardly a shock.

Way to go Fighting Tigers! The crowd was really into the game tonight. Shame it hadn't been that way all year but atleast they are out now and supporting during the tourney. Good job Mr. McKnight in leading the T-I-G-E-R cheer. Got the crowd into the game.

On to the Convo.

Also good to see my "lunch buddies" from the Point. Girls we need to get together. South Point played us tough and they have nothing to be ashamed of. Congrats on a great season.

Hopefully unbiased thoughts from a Jackson resident wanting to see a great game:

I went to watch what I suspected to be an intense game between an undefeated team and a nearby rival. I also wanted to see Mayo play and LaFon coach.

Ironton flat out played harder the whole game. Their defense was intense (it cost them many early fouls, but they adjusted well and played a deep bench) South Point seemed to be playing a pickup game defense and Ironton crashed the boards harder and more often.

You hear the world of negatives about brother OJ and you don't know what to expect going to watch Todd. I was completely impressed with how he handles himself and he never argued, badmouthed or even gave a dirty jab at any point. He did not play hard on defense a lot...but the ability is definately there and he will be playing beyond high school if he so chooses. I loved the fully extended dive to save the ball from going over and back off a poor pass.

LaFon...he gets some flack around the southern parts of the state...but without a doubt he is one of the best coaches in my eyes...and he's funny which I enjoy.

#32 for Ironton was driving....Mayo took the charge...#32 came down on him...charge called...then he shoves Mayo hard in the back with his face going towards the floor....should've definately been a technical...Mayo just got up and moved on.

#32 and #30 did play great defense and their athleticism and effort carried Ironton throughr. Marc Carter is awesome.

I thought one ref did a good job (though SP was giving him crap after the game), one ref is just overrated IMO as he seems to get many great words said of him.....but other than making quick assertive calls I just think he makes some crazy calls and the other ref was simply in too big of a game.

God Luck to Ironton!.....rowdy crowd much? Why di the guy get tossed?

The officiating was horrible tonight! Ironton was 20 points better than South Point, but a win is a win in the playoffs.

GO TIGERS!!!

Ironman92 · Post by **Ironman92** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:55 pm

Ironton was not 20 points better.

I think SP was the better team....but they didn't give nearly the effort that Ironton did......and Ironton moves on and deservingly so.

PointerFan02 · Post by **PointerFan02** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:03 pm

Going 20-0 is awesome, but I think that's what makes this loss hurt a little more, going undefeated in the regular season but then losing the first game of the tournament.

Still though, congratulations to the Pointers on what was a historic season at SP. Good luck to Ironton in the play-offs. If we can't go on in the tournament, the next best thing is to see other Lawrence County teams do so.
