You're right, those are the facts. It's a fact that multiple impact players transferred in THIS YEAR simply to play their last year at Ironton. Not a single Burg starter transferred in this year to play. Those CB numbers account for kids who have lived outside of the district since they began at Wheelersburg (at least since they began high school). You're kidding yourself if you think CB numbers are a substantial argument in this case.

I don't mind kids transferring at all. It happens at all levels, but don't try and defend schools with illegitimate arguments like this.

They aint called "The Lawrence County All Stars" for nothing! lol j/k

[REDMEN95]

Get over it

[spider2Ybanana]

Get over it

Agreed. That's what us Wheelersburg fans have been saying for years. It is what it is. It's just a testament that players are drawn to success. Get over it and play the game.

If the kids and parents did it on their own without being recruited, it is what it is. Those kids have that right to play there. Plain and simple. Everybody commenting supports a school that has benefited from transfers at some point.

I’m surprised this hasn’t gotten ugly yet

I think everyone, including myself, is tired of the same old discussion. Except the creator of this thread apparently lol

[LucasDavenport]

It will be interesting to see the CB numbers next year. This years numbers are from the 2018 rosters.

I would say the Tri-State All Stars. They are from Portsmouth west, raceland, Russell, Huntington and Columbus. Then the county schools, lol. That’s a few of the schools.

How can you be a starter at ur school and just leave if not recruited? If it was one kid or not starting or not much playing time but that wasn’t the case

14U,can you get to the bottom of all this. I think someone should and it might as well be you. Thanks in advance

I’m curious, I really don’t know, who came from Russell and Huntington?

Look. There’s innuendo that there’s supposedly evidence of certain coaches from ironton reaching out to players but unless there’s actual evidence, it’s just rumors. Having four new starters move in doesn’t make it look better but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true either.

Agreed. There have been reports of this happening, and even that it has been presented to the OHSAA but there has yet to be anything concrete come out of it. People will talk no matter what, but you are correct, those 4 new starters do not help matters.
