Couple reasons ashland has a chance vs the tiggers

1. Game is at putnam so ironton refs buy a ticket and watch there kids play from stand

2.Ironton means more to ashland russell players can't remember the tigers but tomcats see them every year

3. New offense new qb sam has looked really good running the spread I believe no ints so far last year royalty qb'd the ironton game

4. Offensive line for cats is a strong point of this time

5. Albers will be tough for tigers plus tigers will have to deal with ashlands athleticism and quickness

Those r just my opinions ironton by all means deserves to be the favorite in the game
But first we must focus on a russell team looking for redemption

I'm not trying to be sarcastic with you on this one but You have no shot against the Tiggers.

1. Doesn't matter where its played.

2. Ironton and Russell is and always was a heated rivalry. The players might not remember the last time they played but they know the proximity and the history between the schools. Trust me. It meant alot to the Red Devils and the Tigers.

3 Hunter is good and you have to spread Ironton out. The thing is they have the speed and the agressiveness to play it anyway the other team wants. The Tigers defense is very impressive.

4 The offensive line for the Tomcats havent faced a good defensive front yet. No offense to Greenup, Raceland and Belfry.

5 Albers is very good. I love watching him play. But Ironton has already seen Wheelersburg(who is probably the second best team in the area) and Russell who I do feel is a top 10 team in the tristate area and dismantled both of them. Albers and Ashlands speed and athleticism is not going to pose anymore of a threat than any thing Ironton has seen.
