Best of luck to the Ironton Tigers during the rest of the year. As for Burg, time will tell how the year plays out. I have never seen so many threats in all facets of the game. You have second and third stringers coming in who would not only start, but be the best players on about any other team aro...

WOW

35 hours to kickoff...This forum topic is pretty quiet....

There were 22 pages on the 2016 Wheelersburg-Ironton game...

Oh well, good luck to my Pirates!

Agree. I saw Portsmouth play Ironton in the previews and Portsmouth looks very much improved this year and the QB plays really well. Hope Portsmouth and Burg both have outstanding seasons and put football in this part of the state on the map.

That looks like the second prediction of Burg scoring 55 on this page.

Last years halftime score was 42-0 Burg. I would be amazed if they could repeat that first half performance.

I do believe though that Burg runs away in the 2nd half. I'm going with 49-6.

Looking forward to Saturday. I saw a lot of plays from the Wheelersburg Playbook when I saw Ironton play in the OVC Preview. I also saw, though, a lot of early fatigue from the Ironton team. With the Burg Depth, I see this getting out of hand in the 2nd half. Lots of Burg haters I am reading in thes...

I heard that 56 Burg players set their personal records in weight lifting this week. I see that there are 19 Seniors, 2-3 talented players at every position, 3 of the Best QBs in Southern Ohio, and at least 10 players 6'2" to 6"6 on the team. With the strength, speed, height, leadership, t...

My countdown clock shows that the kickoff is 265 Hours away. Burg has the 2017 early test in the hostile confines of Tank Stadium. Watching Burg practice and play so far, they have 2-3 guys at every position who are extremely talented. I'll be getting there at noon next Saturday to try to get a seat...

Thanks for the info Sweatzy. Looking forward to watching some great baseball this week. Wheelersburg played Berlin Hiland in the Regionals on May 26 last year and took on Mullet who had the scoreless inning streak. In the 1st inning of the game, Burg loaded the bases with one out and could not push ...

The OHSAA.ORG website still shows TBA this morning

You guys are making good points. When you compare records, these are apples and oranges, due mainly to pitching. Even the final scores don't tell the whole stories. When Burg played Jonathan Alder first game of the year, Burg scored in each of the first 6 innings and then errors cost them the win. B...

Thursday should be a great game with both teams playing their best baseball of the year at this time! Looking at the MANY common opponents this year: Minford - ZT played them 2 times this year- Lost 13-7 and Won 5-3 (1-1) Burg played them 2 times this year- Won 12-2 and Won 6-2 (2-0) Adena - ZT play...

That is correct. Wheelersburg's record is 20-5.

The 5 losses were all against bigger schools (3 in Kentucky.) 3 of the 5 losses were by 1 run. Burg offense has outscored opponents by 103 runs.

GO BURG!

Hearing that the Wheelersburg at Ironton game has been moved to Saturday this year. Any truth to the rumor?

Wheelersburg and Oak Hill look to be the favorites.
