2019 Ohio high school football preseason rankings.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ironton comes in ranked #5 in all of div 5 in Ohio. The
Wheelersburg program comes in at #10.
It appears, at least on paper, that 2019 may very well be a year of equity to some degree. Whilst Wheelersburg has enjoyed the regular bounty of depth and talent over the last few seasons, it is ALSO apparent that the notion that Irontons program has at the very least, closed the gap, and at best, surpassed Wheelersburg all together, is perhaps more substantive than merely water cooler hyperbole. As with many programs that are similar in size and demographic, the success meter truly posesses the tendency for ebbs and flows which favor one program or another in any given season.
Taking these things into consideration as well as also evaluating the changes that have occured, it is a far cry from far fetched to assert that the beast of southern ohio prep football is back to stake their claim.
Burg fans SHOULD BE concerned.
