No idea why Athens and Jackson don’t play
We play Jackson this year . Don’t think they’ll be much of a problem. I would like to see the Dawgs play Pirates
You don’t think Jackson will be a problem for Athens or you don’t think Athens will be a problem?

31-6 at half , Hartley subbed , then subbed back in 51-20.

My dawgs actually competed so stop the superiority complex , move along now
Was unaware I have a superiority complex. I’ll work on that one. We can agree to disagree
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend
I’m not a psychiatrist but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night and I see “superiority complex” all over all your posts :lol:

I ran into Coach W at the little league fields a few weeks ago. He said they just got done with testing and that this is the fastest AND strongest team he has had in his tenure. I for one find that very impressive!!!!!

I'm extremely excited to see this team take the field this year. As I've said before, there may not be much "star power" on the field but top to bottom I truly feel this will be a very good football team. Over the past 5-7 years or so I have really notice a transformation in the type of team Wheelersburg has been. It reminds me of Coldwater in a sense. Now before you all get too excited and have my head for comparing Burg to Coldwater, I am not comparing their success on the field because Coldwater is unmatched as a "small school." What I am comparing is the style of play and the quality of players that are taking the field. Coldwater fields a team every year that has every position filled with a good and solid football player, and their teams are rarely headed by a superstar. I think this is the culture that Coach Woodward is trying to instill into the program. Yes, it is great to have the Salyers, Holdens, Charmicaels, Millers, Shankweilers and Lang's of the world, but the most successful teams year in and year out have solid talent at all positions and have little fall off between positions or first and second teams. I think this team has a chance to be very good when it's all said and done.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Don't get me wrong, there is a buzz around Ironton that hasn't been there in a while, but they have a lot left to prove that they are improved from last year. Again, a team that could only muster 7 points on a Hail Mary in last years game. This years game will be different, no doubt and will most likely be a close game but I'm not sure Wheelersburg is an underdog in this game.

In no way am I trying to disrespect Ironton or their program because I do believe they are headed in the right direction and have some good things going on down there but I just don't see any evidence that would make me think they are the favorite. Other than a couple players being recruited (which is great for the program and those kids), it's hard to look past some of the struggles they had last year.

This has to be sarcasm from Woby. Most of your posts are logical, but not this one. You have a team that has lost 1 regular season game (Hartley ) in 4 years playing a team week 1 that finished 3rd in the OVC the past two years. No logical person would say Wheelersburg is an underdog.

I guess I was just considering opponents that Wheelersburg has played against and their overall styles, but yes, you are correct in comparing Coldwater and Marion Locals successes. Two powerhouse programs that always represent the small schools well but do have differing styles.

Yes they had their struggles but with a first year coach that showed he is hardcore that it’s his way or leave as he lost many players that wasn’t use to conditioning, weightlifting etc!! No I’m not from Ironton or Lawrence county but do have many friends from Ironton I played against in the Lutz era that updated me on the football team. If Pendleton keeps up his way, I see good things coming out of Ironton again. I have heard that he has been getting some outside players(don’t know if this is true, heard people talking in front of me) that see what Ironton is trying to do. I would like to see another small school from southern Ohio toughen up and be another playoff team.also burg Ironton starts the season off being playoff contenders and have big gate that it has to be played on Saturday because of the hype of the game. Well I just hope all works out for Ironton but one years doesn’t tell what the future will be but the next couple years will.

The reason Tiger fans think we have a chance this year is because of the last game against a common opponent in Johnstown Monroe,not the regular season.We all know what happened in those games.The Tigers have basically their whole team back with the exception of a couple of linemen.They are being replaced by a couple of experienced transfers.The Pirates have a few question marks,but both teams will be factors in the playoffs regardless of the outcome of their opening game against each other.

"Going to be"???

That kid has been a problem. The skill and speed that him and Tanner Holden brought to the game covered up a lot of things in the Wheelersburg offense. Those two are as good as we get to see in these parts.
