Game is cancelled out Putnam will have to wait till next week to claim it's next victim.

Good spin. You can always claim that you would have won if the game were played.

Rumor has it that Ironton offered its field to Ashland for the game but that Ashland ignored the request. I have heard that Ashland should have at least graciously acknowledged the "neighborly" offer of its friend across the river. I disagree about the "gracious" part of it..

Ironton has refurbished its field with a fine new surface. However, they haven't played a game on it yet. Now why would Ironton offer Ashland the opportunity to first play on the new surface? That isn't very believable.

I suspect that Ironton wanted to get in a serious dig at Ashland. Ironton would claim that they emphasized the foundational basics while Ashland seemed to emphasize too many frills and eye catchers. Rivals don't usually pass up an opportunity to take a shot, you know. Of course, I could be wrong- but I doubt it.
