Re: Burg releases their 24 schedule: projecting the regular season.

I have burg unfortunately losing their first 3 games to Ironton, Cincy Mc, & Jackson. From there burg will pick up back to back wins vs NW & Valley. Burg will then drop their I believe 4th or 5th straight to Harvest Prep. Then Burg flexes their muscle for 3 consecutive weeks vs Oak Hill, Wa...

Re: 16 Team Playoffs worth it?

Mathematically, yes it gives more teams a chance to win. I didn’t say that is the argument for doing so. Ohio remains one of the most difficult states to win a championship and it is factual that now more teams have the opportunity to be in the tournament. It is the experience of a playoff game tha...

Re: 16 Team Playoffs worth it?

I’m not saying there should be more divisions, I’m pointing out that it is more difficult to win a state championship in Ohio than it is virtually any other state. On top of that, football is the only sport in the state that doesn’t include all its athletes in the postseason. The line about “partic...

Re: 2024 Wheelersburg Pirates

Why does this matter. Ironton has always had more D1 talent than Burg. Burg wins with a program. Ironton wins with talent. Most of the time they are good games. So Ironton should win. Good take Ironton recruits talent because they have to in order to be successful. Burg has built a program to make ...

Newman could sling it for sure. Newman and Ellis were both special athletes. Ellis is in the discussion for best athlete ever at Burg. Started as a sophomore in football, basketball, and baseball. Newman was on the first Burg football team to ever win at Ironton. Unfortunately, IHS got the last lau...

By ya own admission its producing results and changing young mens lives in that poor little town. No ambition, no ships to Notre Dame etc. Ironton is a poor town, as are many others in the country. Not sure what that has to do with him getting a full ride to Notre Dame. That said, good to see you f...
