3-1 Burg top of 4

Ironton was also almost double the size of the school then as it is now. Coach Lutz never went to 3 championship games in 4 years. Pendleton has a long way to go to get to Lutz. I can tell you Lutz was beat bad on championship games too. Mentor Lake thumped us. The 3 teams Ironton has lost to are 3...

Work begins next week on replacing the turf at Ed Miller Stadium! There is some equipment there now.

So true! Today’s sensitive and entitled darlings would crumble if a Persin or Barrick got up in their grill yelling at them…. And Mommy would come out of the bleachers if it happened!

The Big Red won that game 60-57 if my memory serves me correct. Boyce Jordan was a star on that Portsmouth West team. They were 23-0 going into the game vs. Steubenville. My senior year at Burg, my Dad and I went to this game. Best team West has had IMO…. The late Boyce Jordan, Chris Hamilton, Jaso...

Burg has had 12 D1 players over the years so I will start with them by listing name, year graduated, and college signed with: Brian Bays 1976 Miami Jeff Meadows 1978 Kent State Jack Miller 1979 Hawaii Scott Gray 1980 Dayton Paul Newman 1982 Marquette Brad Walke 1983 UNC Wilmington Todd Staker 1984 M...

he wont play running back in college. If he plays anywhere, it would most likely be on the defensive side of the ball. Im pretty sure that Wake Forrest wants to see him develop on defense. He looks great coming off the bus. That being said, it will take him time to develop into a D1 football player...

Those weren’t down yrs. They just couldn’t beat valley. They put up huge offense numbers. They had a ton of talent. Burg had very low participation rate in those senior classes. Decent talent but lack of numbers. 2008 Woodward's first season - Lang (QB) tears ACL 2009 Staff still trying to figure i...

Burg should be loaded on defense next year with returning players like Hutchinson, Darling, Salyers, Risner, Swords, Warren and Mowery. Interior defensive line may be only question mark with loss of 2 seniors. Offense should look a lot different as they will be back to a pass-first offense. Not sur...

Kirtland vs Mogadore currently airing on Spectrum here in Scioto County if you are interested

Bruce Ward, Portsmouth alumnus and head coach of the Gahanna Lincoln Golden Lions, is leading his team to the D1 state semifinals after beating New Albany last night 25-17. Ward, who was an outstanding football player for the Trojans as a DB/RB, has developed Gahanna Lincoln into one of the most co...

The Wheelersburg community is hurting this week with the tragic passing of Alex George age 23. Alex was a captain on the 2017 state championship team and played football at Pikeville University. He will be greatly missed! Prayers to the family

The Burg is averaging 55.5 points per game and giving up 15.5 so far in the playoffs. I'm sure Prep's D is better than either team they just played, but just how many points do you want them to score?? So burg has fixed the offense in the last 2 playoff games? HP will put up points and burg will ne...

Any specifics on Harvest Prep? Burg played them tough in the regional final last year losing 20-17. HP had a D1 running back that was a senior and they also had a 6’9 300 pound tackle that Was a senior I think ( and hope). And yes excellent team speed!

Granville beat Heath 35-12, Burg destroyed Heath 59-0 and it could have been worse! I will take Jackson in this one.

Spectrum reports 32-28 Union Local?

Again, I never said it was a lock. And why not with all the talent? Their coaching. I watched an overmatched Burg team miraculously beat a far superior Ironton team last year in the playoffs. I watched a very talented Ironton team get steamrolled by Kirtland in the state. I have no confidence that ...

Good for Burg RBH. You are right. But this isn’t a new situation. You can go back 30 years and take the schools mentioned and see it’s a competitive group. Then you can take the other (High turnout-successful) schools and they would be very competitive too. That’s where I wish the argument would en...

Oh you do? lol They didn’t have a mental block last year against Ironton in the playoffs. Just a solid year for burg. Burg has won 8 of the last 10 SOC. That’s not a fall. Never said a fall. For a good 5 years run Burg was light years ahead is everyone in the area. Jackson was won 3 or 4 in a row ,...
