Burg_Grad_77, nice try... We are winning the overall series with you. And if you'd have played us in the 70s and most of the 80s, it'd be a lot worse. You've only been to TWO title games...and you would have been embarrassed by Kirtland or a MAC school in 2017 if you had to play them. We simply have...

I believe Ironton also played without one of their better players that post season - Reggie Arden (sp?). I think I remember Lutz said after the game (something to the effect of), "I know they're going to say they were without their QB. But, we're playing without Arden." Ya gotta keep playi...

Yabba and others...
Still, no one answers my questions about this mysterious "burg envy", despite our domination of the burg.

I know nothing about the wheelersburg officiating situation. But, I gotta ask. Why in the world would an Ironton fan have so-called burg envy right now ? *We just put a running clock on the team that ousted you *We've won I think 3 out of the last 4 against you *We have more regional championships t...

I was there tonight. The home side (Ironton's) looked pretty well packed...great crowd.

A huge factor in this kind of scenario is the fact that school boards are made up of folks of all walks of life and different vocations/professions. But, nothing in their background qualifies them to choose football coaches. In my district, we have a plumber, a bale bondsman, a retired educator (nev...

A friend of mine coaches at Canal Winchester (not Canal Winchester Harvest Prep). I asked him what he thought about them. Among other things, he said he coached a couple of kids that transferred to Prep. He said they get new kids every year. This seems counter to the narrative given in this thread. ...

Ironton wins. wheelersburg loses. Life is good.

Best of luck to Harvest Prep !

Coal Grove will be absolutely destroyed in this game.

I don't know what Pendleton does behind the scenes. But, I can assure you that Lutz didn't actively recruit. If kids moved/transferred in, he was good with it. But, he didn't play an active role in it.

This is a valid question. knipp has had 2-3 good seaons when RH was loaded. Underachieved many other years...

Ok I admit. the dude from rock hill has lost his mind.

Anyone who beats an overrated and arrogant bunch of folks from wheelersburg is a friend of mine. Go west. My alma mater has dominated you for decades - but you fail to admit it. What would the series look like if you played us in the 70s an 80s ? It would be ugly (uglier)?

Hire a proven oc,

Rooting for my alma mater as always - but no way Ironton makes a playoff run beating Gallia by this margin. Underachieving...again.

Crickets... since burg hypocrites have been called out... "our boys are exempt from criticicm as long as we label them "our boys". They ate NOT home-grown burg kids, PERIOD,

Agreed. It is simple. Non-wheelersburg kids playing for wheelersburg = good.
Non-Ironton kids playing for Ironton = bad. I think I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

The hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness from burg posters is amazing. Apparently, I was right. They've benefitted from getting kids from all those area schools. it doesn't matter when they did it or the driving distance. Those kids were not home-grown.

No, they have not.
