    In southern Ohio, linebacker Reid Carrico (Ironton, Ohio) and Ironton dominated Coal Grove 71-0. The game was scoreless after the first quarter but Ironton (3-0) lit up Coal Grove for 28 points before halftime. Carrico had two rushing touchdowns, including one from 51 yards out to make it 35-0. The last time Ironton scored 71 points was in 1999. One of Carrico's touchdowns is below.

    Future linebacker Reid Carrico and Ironton were supposed to play South Point, but the game was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Ironton was able to quickly schedule a home game against Division I Cincinnati Sycamore and won 33-11. With a 19-11 lead, Carrico (who also plays RB) bolted to the end zone twice in the fourth quarter from 27 and 89 yards to give Ironton the healthy lead.

    Ironton is the No. 1 seed in Division V, Region 19 and will face either No. 16 New Lexington or No. 17 Williamsport Westfall on Oct. 17.

    CARRICO'S THREE TDS LEAD IRONTON BACK TO STATE TITLE GAME
    LONDON – While a future Power 5 running back was also on the field in Saturday night's Division V semifinal at London High School's Bowlus Field, it was the future Power 5 linebacker who had the biggest night carrying the ball and ultimately led his team to victory.

    Reid Carrico's future at Ohio State will be as a defensive player, and he played a big part in Ironton limiting Roger Bacon to just 19 points on Saturday. But it was his playmaking ability as Ironton's running back, in a game where a safety and a missed extra point made the difference, that led the Tigers to a 22-19 win and a second straight trip to the state championship game.

    Carrico ran for a 78-yard touchdown in the first quarter to score the game's first points. He capped off a lengthy Ironton drive by powering into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-goal in the second quarter. Then, after Roger Bacon scored 19 unanswered points, Carrico turned another fourth down into a touchdown, catching a pass out of the backfield on 4th-and-7 and strolling into the end zone for a 23-yard score, to give the Tigers a fourth-quarter lead they would not relinquish.

    Reid Carrico's three touchdowns, including a 78-yard run in the first quarter, led Ironton to victory over Roger Bacon on Saturday night.

    Now, Carrico and his Ironton teammates will get a chance to avenge their loss in last year's state championship game, as they're set for a rematch with Kirtland – who beat Ironton 17-7 in the 2019 D5 final – next Saturday (2 p.m.) at Fortress Obetz.

    “It feels good, but I've been there before, and I'm trying to win this one,” Carrico said after Saturday night's win. “Kirtland's a great football team ... there isn't one punk on Kirtland's football team, and I'm just glad that two good programs, we get to battle it out again. I've had a sour taste in my mouth for a year now, and redemption's going to come to fruition, I reckon.”

    During Carrico's postgame interview with Eleven Warriors, Kiner came over to congratulate Carrico and encouraged him to “go win it all” next week, while both wished each other luck at the next level.

    Carrico said he enjoyed having the opportunity to go head-to-head with another future FBS player on Saturday night.

    “He's hard to tackle, he's stocky,” Carrico said. “But man, it's fun. Because through our conference play and stuff like that, you don't get that. You don't get a player like that until the state semis or the state finals, and I'm just glad that Roger Bacon moved down a division and we were able to play them and compete.”

    • On Reid Carrico: "He's just an old-school linebacker who has no regard for his body." ... "If you have stock, you're going to put it in that kid."
