I knew they did in the past, didn’t know if it was still active. Wish Burg had a wrestling team. I think it helps tremendously with football.

Do they compete internally or against other schools/club teams?

It’s a school sponsored sport. They go to tournaments, or meets or whatever they are called.

Terry, Williams, Sturgill, Copas, Patterson, Schreck, etc. they’re going to be fine.

Ironton will have talent for sure. May not have the experience like this year.

Its absolutely essential & we were taught wrestling in grade 7 while building under lutz.

Coach Fugitt saw to it.

The wrestling programs in southern Ohio are not given the attention and resources as they are In the northern part of the state.. Different world.. For those that didn't know, South Range won the state title last year. I would bet that a lot of those kids now have 2 state titles counting this year's D5 football trophy..
Stamina, leverage, aggressiveness, flat out toughness all taught in winning wrestling programs..

Jackson has a wrestling program and it's not helping them even win a regional title. They need to bring in guys with deep knowledge of how the trenches work and how to shed blocks and maintain blocks if they want to help themselves they need to get nasty inside. It's not going to hurt obviously but it's not the difference in for these NEO teams.

Having a program is a start, but in NEO, wrestling is a religion. Most popular sport next to football.

There were some sluggers in this graduating class that could knock your head off! I’m not sure ironton will have many this year that will flat out lay the smack down. I’m hoping I’m wrong.

Why was Felder not used more ? He was a much better back then the others they used all year,1,000 yard rusher at Huntington last year?

I'm sure he was promised playing time to come over but ended up playing very little and not even breaking 500 yards ,bet he's second guessing that move.
What is the "REAL" reason the other guys got the bulk ?
Can we say why on here?
