Ironton High School is a ground-and-pound football team with a student body of around 400 students in Ironton, Ohio, and sophomore Reid Carrico is at the heart of what the Fighting Tigers do.
The running back and linebacker is the biggest force on the team, and what head coach Trevon Pendelton and his staff like to do is turn around and hand the ball to Carrico up the middle of the line. On defense, teams blatantly attempt to avoid the edge of the line he’s rushing in from.
There are some obvious concerns with a player from a league like Carrico is from, though, and that is how he performs against tougher competition.
