Re: Ironton simply outworks the rest of SEO
The claim that Ironton would be average or so without the transfers is just wrong. Off the top of my head - Carrico, Carter, Duncan, Barnes, and other Ironton natives - are playing college football right now. That's a lot of home grown talent. Another thing people fail to realize is that some Ironto...

Re: (7-1) Gallia Academy - (7-1) Ironton
For the Ironton haters. Some of you are acting as though Ironton has never been able to play with northern Ohio teams. This is only a recent phenomenon. Pointing out our losing record in title games does not refute this. They almost always were able to compete with the best in the state. There were ...

Re: Do You Feel Safe At High School Football Games?
In general - no doubt you are safer walking down a street in small towns as opposed to big cities. There are exceptions, though. Regarding murder rates, there is a misperception, though. Many red states have high murder rates. But, it's because of the large blue cities in those states. Don't try to ...

Re: Wheelersburg @ Ironton Week 1
The burg lucked out on their tournament pairings. They somehow, miraculously, didn't have to play Kirtland or a MAC school. They would have been blown out otherwise.

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
yabba, that was an irrational post. Just about any Ironton team the last few years would have walked through that string of playoff games. You played NOT ONE traditional state power - not one. And no way you beat a solid MAC school that year or Kirtland. And you burgers are so arrogant and delusiona...

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
I stand by everything I said. You refuted NOTHING from my post. Winning the state is not the only measure of success. And how many burg teams would've been as successful were it not for kids from South Webster, Green, Portsmouth, Ironton, Ashland, etc. ? Transfers have indeed helped. But, we've sent...

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
In terms of Ohio high school football, Ironton is much more historically relevant than burg...not even close. And - since you burgers are saying that success can ONLY be measured in terms of state titles - this means that no one can ever again brag about conference championships, playoff appearances...

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
The St. Joe years were maybe even more impressive, considering how small the school was, yet still winning like he did. I just disagree with your assessment. Maybe I'm biased - having played for Lutz. But, Lutz did what he did with way less talent than Pendleton has had. Unfortunately, the Tigers ha...

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
There are other variables to consider. In his first 5 years, Lutz made it to one final - and made the playoffs one other time. Everything was more difficult back then. There were literally 12 teams in the entire state that made the playoffs (4 from A, AA, and AAA). If today's playoffs and classifica...

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
Since it's a burg thread, I'll start by saying that I think they are the best-coached team in southern Ohio. I think it's probably true that - given Ironton's team - the burg staff might have won a state title or two by now. And, while they rarely have D1 talent, burg kids are always talented and di...

" They ain’t gonna let the real Ironton boys do anything." Stupid comment... Real Ironton boys include Carrico, Duncan, Carter, Barnes, Carpenter, Hacker, and others playing college ball. Ironton still has more home-grown talent than anyone in southeast Ohio. Would they be as good the last...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
Ironton CB number is 20...burg is 19. Twist it all you want. That's not much of a difference.

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
Been off the board for a while... 1) For the record, Ironton has definitely benefitted more than burg from transfers & out-of-district kids the last 3 years or so. 2) I don't think burg coaches recruit. One burg poster did say earlier that burg folks do "encourage" out-of-district kids...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
I don't think that many RH kids are at Ironton right now. But, in regards to this conversation, I'd say that's irrelevant. Meaning... I would admit they're not homegrown. I'm not even ripping on the burg. Honestly, in today's high school football scene, you'd be foolish to not accept these kids (the...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
First off - an admission... I'm not a huge fan of all the transfers to Ironton. When I played, we had ALL Ironton boys. But, to those saying we couldn't win without them - you are wrong. We wouldn't be as talented, but with good coaching, we'd still win. Carpenter, Carter, Barnes, Gossett, Duncan, e...
