IRONTON — When opportunity knocks, at least look out the peep hole. Ironton had its opportunities but the Fighting Tigers were unable to capitalize in a 5-1 season opening loss to the West Jefferson Roughriders on Sunday. “We just did not adjust to the game as it was being played,” said Ironton coach John Hunt. “We had plenty of chances, but we watched too many called third strikes in crucial situations.” The Roughriders (1-0) took a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
