Ironton - Burg? Deja Vu All Over Again?

[kantuckyII]

Just looking at the series. I was thinking that Wheelersburg had never beaten Ironton two in a row. I was wrong. It last happened in '98 and '99. In 1998, Wheelersburg beat Ironton pretty darned good and a shut out, 21 to 0! The next year, '99, it was a squeaker! That same year, Ironton made it all the way to the State Championship game!

Now, we have the same thing. Last year, Wheelersburg defeated Ironton 39 - 6 and this year..the second win in a row by the Burg, another squeaker, 23 - 22!

Wonder if the Tigers will see the state game this year like in '99?! This could be a good sign for the Tigers after all!

Would not suprise me at all for the Tigers to make a deep run into the playoffs. They are a very solid team.

I was thinking the same thing Kantucky. On the way home I thought this could be like 99.

It could just as well be like 2007. A .500 season. Of course with a bye this week i guess .500 is out of the question. Besides the Tigers have another loss for sure on their schedule.

I don't know that I saw anyone making a prediction, it was simply a stated observation.

After playing a game like wheelersburg/ironton is only going to get both of these teams better and prepared for the rest of their schedule. I was thinking the same thing on the way home last night. Tigercannon 71

dont really know the boys but they have the coaches that it takes to take them as far as they want to go.

Buck,

i am sorry but i don't see it that way. Just look at the recent results.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

i could not think anything but how we let that one get away, i'm being as sincere as i can. but i think both teams will have great years. we slumbered through the first half, then came to life. just came up a little short.

[drrabbit]

The past example shows a couple of things:
1) Playing good competition makes you better (win or lose).
2) An early loss does not a season make.

May that hold true for this season.


Will Ironton make it back to the championship game?--Only time will tell.
(But just punt this time!)

[2old]

Let me get this straight. Ironton just lost to a D-5 team and the fans are talking about a state championship. Kind of like saying Ralph Nader is going to be elected president.

feelin pretty froggy after beating lancaster , eh. miracles do happen, even in northern ohio.

I don't know that I saw anyone making a prediction, it was simply a stated observation.

I was thinking this very same thing....

[NY BUCKS]

What so wrong about getting beat by a good div 5 team.

Buck,

i am sorry but i don't see it that way. Just look at the recent results.

To tell you the truth, I really don't think anyone cares how you see things.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

LOGAN FINALLY BEATS A TEAM IT'S OWN SIZE, HELL. I'M HAPPY FOR YOU ALL. I PREDICTED A LANCASTER WIN, BUT SAID DO IT FOR THE GOOD OF THE SEOAL. WHY BE INSANELY COCKY 2OLD. YOU ARE SUPPOSSED TO WIN , PLAYING TEAMS YOUR SIZE SOMETIMES.
