At some point, the talent at the disposal of Coach Andy Hall’s Jackson Ironmen has to have some kind of a drop off, right?
 
Hall, in his 12th season as Jackson grid boss, has amassed an amazing 92-30 overall record including a respectable 5-7 mark in the OHSAA playoffs. His team reached the regional final in 2015 and he’s coached three teams to 10-0 regular seasons.
 
Despite, or maybe because of, that success the talent pipeline continues to be very strong for the Ironmen.

LOGAN - Mike Eddy begins his second season in charge of the Logan Chieftains; but still hasn’t had a full offseason program to oversee. He was hired in early 2019 following the resignation of Billy Burke, and his team improved from 1-9 in 2018 to 4-6 in 2019.
 
Logan finished 2019 by winning four of their last six games, including a heartbreaking 14-7 loss in the season finale with Hamilton Township. Three of Logan’s six losses came by seven points or less.
 
Despite the disrupted offseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Eddy is optimistic about his program entering his second season.
 
“We’re happy with the numbers. We peaked at just over 70,” he explained, “and that includes over 20 freshmen.”
 
The Varsity roster has 69 total players including 21 freshmen. The numbers in the ninth grade are most encouraging, as the class only had 13 players on the roster as eighth graders last fall.
 
“We really can implement a lot more of what we want to do on both sides of the ball,” the coach continued.
