Ironton Vs. Marion Local In Week 1...Not So Fast

Ironton has offered ML a ONE YEAR GAME AT MARION LOCAL. No “Home and Home” necessary. ML holding their ground on not wanting to play game. ML would NOT have to make a return trip to Ironton in 2026.

Ball is fully in Marion Locals court for this game.

Massive attendance, challenge in week 1, no return trip necessary… why would Marion Local say no?
How would you know this? Are you the fake face behind the Marion local football X account? People this is a high schooler from minster being a troll! Not afflicted with Ironton!
 
This whole hidden villain thing with ML is crazy. Accusations of recruiting because we're an open enrollment school, but then we suppress people coming into the district to keep ourselves in D7. It just makes zero sense.
I thought they were forcing other schools to take on transfers so that those schools would have a high enough CB number to make ML move down from D6 to D7. ;)
 
Dear ML. Ignore all these computer warriors and do what is best for your community, school, and football team. I have watched your program from about an hour away for about 30 years. You guys do it the correct way. Academics and athletics are held to a high standard that most of these fingertip soldiers could never understand. Northwest Ohio football schools are proud that you lead the charge in the best area of football in all of Ohio. Also, no one can match your 50-50 drawings or the Festival that you put on each summer. I have attended the tractor pull the last two years and totally enjoyed the time there. I look forward to your football program rearming with mostly young talent. Enjoy the journey!!!!

Quit glazing
 
Ok funny tough guy. Tell Marian Local and the whole MAC to stop disrespecting us and other higher division teams by saying they’d beat us when they are too scared to play us.
I have not played this game in over 40 years so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty. But here it goes... we're rubber your glue, whatever you say bounces off us and sticks to you!
 
This whole hidden villain thing with ML is crazy. Accusations of recruiting ........
I believe recruiting looks very different at Marion Local than most schools. And I am certain very often kids are heavily recruited that play there. You have moms begging their kids for grandkids. Twenty years later, that grandkid is hoisting another state championship trophy, the direct result from his grandmother's request that he simply become available.

What! Are you actually accusing catholics of being fruitful and multiplying? Lol

Maybe we should encourage our kids to signal 1st down after a play, do a celebration after every tackle, or run up to cameras to perform dances after every score instead going back to the huddle and gloating high fives. Might be drawing too much attention to ourselves.

I think it is ok to discuss schedules and potential matchups for everyone except Marion. They have a duty.

So defensive, lol.
 
Isn't Minster in the MAC? Watterson is one of only three out-of-conference games they've played against formidable opposition in the last decade. I'm not clear how blockheads believe they can beat everyone without demonstrating any quality head-to-head wins outside of the MAC and D6/D7 playoffs.

Obviously, it would be a much worse outcome for 24 ML vs. 24 Watterson than the 2019 game, so you're correct in comparing teams, but the 2019 game should be mentioned because that "medicore" team was the best team ML has faced outside of the MAC and D6/D7 playoffs in over a decade.
I must have missed the part where Watterson had 10 shutouts.
 
Rumor has it Ironton and ML both turned down offers from Vanlue...must be scared.
