Gotta be tough, so close but can’t get over the hump.

Kirtland leads Ironton 10-0 late in the 2nd quarter.

17-0 Kirtland 9:09 3rd.

24-0 Kirtland 8:17 3rd.

31-0 Kirtland  3rd quarter. 4:42

31-0 after 3.

38-0 Kirtland 11:46 4th

38-0 Kirtland Final.

Kirtland is a machine.

3rd straight title for Kirtland.

I really didn't expect anyone to handle this Ironton team like this. Absolute surgical precision by Kirtland and their defense made Ironton look less than competent on offense. They know how to handle their business on the big stage.

Kirtland doesn't overwhelm you with talent, but they're incredibly well coached, disciplined, strong, in shape, and prepared each and every week. They seem to do all of the little things well and do nothing to beat themselves. They run a tight ship up there.

Kirtland's coach, Tiger Laverde, is now 185-17 during his time there. They've won six state titles in the last ten years and only missed the state finals once during that time. Incredible by any standard, but especially Ohio's.
