Great post bfan99. Ironton still has more homegrown talent than the burg...and probably always will. wheelersburg will always be our jealous little sibling. Take away the Vass years, and it's embarrassing.

Wrong again. Ironton still has more homegrown talent than anyone else is SEO. And why do you continue to act like the burg doesn't have kids from other districts ?

"Doing less with more..." - yet still dominating the burg...

Great hire !

Spot on, TigerBob ! I guess it doesn't matter that on Ironton's starting 11 when I played, we had... a doctor, an anesthetist, an owner of a huge local business, a college administrator, an army-lifer (now retired), a successful catering business owner, a teacher, a graduate of the Naval Academy, a ...

The starter at QB will - in some ways - not matter if they can't pass protect any better. There's rarely a dropback pass that looks smooth from start to finish. There's almost always heat on the passer & an ensuing scramble & the QB winging it. Look at the pick 6 against HP.

tigernation, thanks for monitoring my posts. I still think you're wrong. The original question was in regard to burg '17 and Kirtland '23. I was speaking in the larger sense when I said burg '17 was not the same caliber as a typical MAC or Kirtland team. You need to zero in on the topic at hand and ...

Kirtland comfortably... 2017 burg was a very good team, obviously. They were not, however, MAC-good or Kirtland-good. They were extremely lucky in that playoff run - in that they didn't have to play such teams. Thet squeaked by teams that were far inferior to the Hornets, Coldwater, etc.

Greygoose, we have always had your number in football, and we always will.

Ironton should have won against prep, or at least could have won. The burg had no shot. Speaks volumes...

Kantucky, for me - without a doubt - it is wheelersburg. It hard to paint an entire community with one broad stroke. But, collectively, they seem so arrogant. Like you, however, I respect them...the best staff in SE Ohio and gritty kids. FIDO, I get what you're saying. But, for me & lots of folk...

Kantucky, Lutz came real close to having an unmatched run back in the day. Think about it. 78 - undefeated...no playoffs...could've won the state 79 - won the state 81 - same as 78 82 - lost title game 85 - should've beat Desales...lost 23-19...Desales won state 86 - undefeated & #1...lost in mu...

Not me. I've seen the need for an OC and better discipline from the start.

Ironton may be the worst coached team in the state.

Ironton looks completely uncoached. What do they even do in practice ? When will he hire an OC ?

I hope I'm wrong. But, yes, they are on upset alert. At this very moment, if I had to place a bet on a burg/IHS rematch, I'd take the burg (and I'm a burg-hater for sure). They have gotten better over the course of the season - something I largely attribute to their coaching staff - and Ironton has ...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

“ If they are northern ohio good the it will be lights out for Ironton just like it is every time they play up there.”

Not for me & my boys in ‘79...
