When's the last time either one of those teams made any noise in the playoffs?

What's the overall record in the series? Should be getting close. Ironton fans don't seem to post it as much as they used to.

I went through joe eitel's site maybe last year tek. and if memory serves me correct ironton still leads the series by maybe 4/5. but I don't rightly remember the exact number. yeah, burg fans don't mention ironton having 2 state titles to their 1 very often either. ---------------------------------------------- all jokin aside it's painfully obvious that the pirates have been riding the fighting tigers roughshod. I sure hope that stops this year. this series will or at least should get back to being excited and very competitive again. hard to even keep a good conversation about this game anymore. because it has been such a blowout lately.

Some people are talking about Burg being a state contender this year. I believe Coldwater dropped to D6, so that gives them a big advantage.

There havent been many close, competitive Burg/Ironton games in the past 5 years. Gotta think Burg takes Ironton behind the woodshed again.

I dont see many teams besides Heath and Bishop Watterson giving Burg a close game. Jackson may do it, but that match up hasnt been very competitive recently either.

Congrats to bug your 2017-18 state champs :ugeek:
At least this year I'm not gonna have to worst prediction of the season. I was getting used to winning that trophy. I guess all things come to an end eventually. Softball, you are almost right on though.

Only two years ago at Ironton Burg only won by a touchdown 14-6. That was a nail biter and Ironton had a couple of chances of taking that game, but fumbled the ball away twice deep in Burg territory. Burg has been good the last couple of years, but not unbeatable. The tigers have been working hard ever since they lost the coshocton game. I think it will pay off. Can't wait to see them play the first scrimmage game. They should be ready this year.

burg is about to see that the teams like bishop Watterson and the like are teams that schools our size just can't hardly schedule anymore. I wish them all the luck in the world and applaud them for scheduling them. but these teams are all star teams. and they have the ability to move up or down in divisions. ironton rassled with beasts like that for decades, and it's a whole different horse of another color. sadly those days are behind fighting tiger fans, but oh the memories man. they do help you prepare for the playoffs if yer healthy coming in.

Everyone thought Hartley was going to blow them off the field a few years back. Burg took them to OT and beat them up physically

Burg beat them later that same year 38-7. Last year it was 49-6.

It looks like Ironton broke down like the rest of Southern Ohio and let Burg get into their head, which makes it even harder to win.

I will take Burg by 3 TD's until the Tigers prove me wrong.

Watterson hasn't been as consistent year in year out like they used to be but I've been told they are loaded this year. Burg will show up. This should be a Saturday game
If the burg can replace the leadership they lost they should be very good. Defense returns a lot and should be nasty, offense line should be much improved and much more physical. Line was not very good last year in my opinion. Skill wise they will have a lot of play makers
Coaching staff as always very solid. The burg will be prepared each week

Ironton vs Burg. These games use to favor Ironton, and then they got very competitive but now, Burg has to be the favorite. At least, until Ironton can prove they can compete again.
