Ironton takes state 28-17 over Liberty Center


 

Canton, Ohio—With a total of 4,981 fans in the stadium, Ironton and Liberty Center were set to battle for the Division Five state title. Ironton was looking for their third state title (79 & 89), while Liberty Center was seeking their second (97).

Ironton has one of the best players in the state of Ohio, and it should not have come as a surprise to anyone that he would be a major reason in determining how his team would do. Shaun Terry would not disappoint his teammates, coaches, or the town of Ironton as he had a huge game in his final appearance for the Fighting Tigers. He would have 10 receptions, good for 148 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed the ball two times for 75 yards and a touchdown. He had a 35-yard punt return. Altogether he had 291 all-purpose yards.

The Fighting Tigers also had a very good game from Braden Schreck. The senior quarterback threw for 171 on 15-21 passes with two touchdowns. The senior went out with a bang and left a big space to fill at his position for the new QB in 2025. He also rushed for a score, gaining 49 yards on 16 carries.

Overall, Ironton had 319 total yards.

For Liberty Center, Waylon Rentz had a rushing touchdown to go with 44 yards. He carried the rock 20 times, being held to 1.7 yards a carry. He had a long run of six yards, as he could never get going.

Kaden Krienbrink threw for a touchdown. He would go 6-10 for 44 yards and a pick. Grady Miller threw for 74 yards on 6-8 passing. Neither had an easy time of it, but neither seemed to be lacking in effort. an easy time of it, but neither seemed to be lacking in effort. The Fighting Tigers defense seemed to know what was coming more times than not, and that made things more than hard for the two.

Garrison Kruse had 4 receptions, 43 yards, and a TD catch. His longest reception went for 11 yards. He had help from Cam Kahle: 4 catches, 45 yards. Kruse is just a sophomore while Kahle is a senior.

On the defensive side of things, Brycen Mullins led Ironton with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. Nick Sites checked in with 10 tackles and 1 1/2 tackles for loss. Josh Jonson forced a fumble to go with 4 tackles.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...
