The Fighting Tigers didn't help themselves out by committing 13 Penalties that's for sure. They have to cut out those costly mistakes, especially with Fairland and Ashland coming up.

Ironton looked pretty good against the defending D5 State Champions last week. I look for the Fighting Tigers to win this one.

Who's the Lineman from Ironton that transferred to Raceland? I know a couple Lineman transferred but I'm not sure which one went where. Good luck to the Rams, sounds like they should have another great year.

Hearing the QB might stay at Ironton now. I guess we’ll see.

Trevon Pendleton, a fullback, is Michigan State'''s man of the moment | SI.com

Offered to Trevon Pendleton, Assistant at Portsmouth West and former Fullback at Michigan State just a few years ago. I heard he has accepted and a School Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday. There’s a great article on him growing up and his time at Michigan State, with interviews from Players at Michigan State. Great read on him, I’ll try and post it.

Yes, he accepted it then called back and turned it down.

Looks like Scott Grizzle has been offered the job, haven't heard whether he's accepted it yet.

I bet they wait this time, after that debacle.

I hope so, we need to get this behind us and get someone in there that wants to be there.

That happens when you have a current Coaching Staff that's not that good, put in a Coaching Staff that knows how to Coach and things will change for the better. The sad part is, this years Junior class is one of the better classes the Fighting Tigers have had in awhile, it's all been wasted with the current Staff.

Academics is why the Superintendent lost his job, just a few years ago the school system was awarded the Gold star for academics. The schools are all new and were built pretty high tech.

Now, I'm hearing he has turned it down after completing the interview process and being hired by the BOE. I guess time will tell, more to follow.
