Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
RBH23, if Pendleton leaves and Ironton hires a good coach who doesn't get all the transfers - they would still have the talent to win. There is not a shortage of talent regarding our homegrown kids. Many burg posters have said and implied otherwise. You guys rationalize away the fact that many of yo...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
Wrong once again RBH23... For the umpteenth time, the claim that Ironton's homegrown talent is subpar is flat out wrong. Carrico, Carter, Carpenter, Hacker, Barnes (among many others) were entirely homegrown and were really good to great high school football players. You burgers fail to comprehend t...

Re: Southern Cal ( USC) making a SECOND VISIT to Ironton Football this week
"The Burg coach “living in the dark ages” has a state ring. How about Pendleton?" I'm no Pendleton fan. But, how many finals appearances does Woodward have ? What's their head-to-head record against each other ? Ironton and Pendleton have doubtlessly been more successful these last few yea...

Re: How "homegrown" is Wheelersburg football really?
In past years, haven't the burg & Ironton been neck-and-neck with their CB numbers ? I believe they have (I could be wrong). I see how you guys are defining "homegrown". But, how many kids do you have that actually reside in other nearby districts ? I'm not sure they can be called &quo...

Re: Burg releases their 24 schedule: projecting the regular season.
Great post bfan99. Ironton still has more homegrown talent than the burg...and probably always will. wheelersburg will always be our jealous little sibling. Take away the Vass years, and it's embarrassing.

Wrong again. Ironton still has more homegrown talent than anyone else is SEO. And why do you continue to act like the burg doesn't have kids from other districts ?

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers
The starter at QB will - in some ways - not matter if they can't pass protect any better. There's rarely a dropback pass that looks smooth from start to finish. There's almost always heat on the passer & an ensuing scramble & the QB winging it. Look at the pick 6 against HP.

Re: Off-season Fantasy Matchups: Part one; 2017 Wheelersburg VS 2023 Kirtland: Who Wins & why?
tigernation, thanks for monitoring my posts. I still think you're wrong. The original question was in regard to burg '17 and Kirtland '23. I was speaking in the larger sense when I said burg '17 was not the same caliber as a typical MAC or Kirtland team. You need to zero in on the topic at hand and ...

Re: Off-season Fantasy Matchups: Part one; 2017 Wheelersburg VS 2023 Kirtland: Who Wins & why?
Kirtland comfortably... 2017 burg was a very good team, obviously. They were not, however, MAC-good or Kirtland-good. They were extremely lucky in that playoff run - in that they didn't have to play such teams. Thet squeaked by teams that were far inferior to the Hornets, Coldwater, etc.

Re: Based on Irontons performance the last 3 weeks I have them on upset alert immediately.
I hope I'm wrong. But, yes, they are on upset alert. At this very moment, if I had to place a bet on a burg/IHS rematch, I'd take the burg (and I'm a burg-hater for sure). They have gotten better over the course of the season - something I largely attribute to their coaching staff - and Ironton has ...
