This isn't your daddy's Ironton Tigers. Ironton does need a win this week as the Ohio playoff system is based on points & a win this week will have them hosting week 1 of the playoffs. Be interesting to see if Raceland has improved in the trenches as the only two teams they've played with a pulse up front put up 32 & 41 points......Look for a 21-14 game taht could go either way.

We have improved. We will definitely have to use our speed to make up for that. The developement of Hall and Carmen on the DL has been a big part of our defensive lines improvements. We will be outsized by a good bit. I dont fear that we can score, we just cant let Ironton bust long runs. We are very well conditioned and have pretty good depth now upfront. If we can force the Tigers to throw the ball I like our chances. This will be a close game, imo. I also think if Russell played them again it would be a different type of ball game.
