we here that every year but for the most part it never does. football, basketball, baseball,soccer, track, for the most part its the same team either winning the soc or competing for the title every year.

You never know. Just because in the past it's been one way doesn't mean that it won't change. Who knows the teams that everyone thinks will be on top, might not win a single game.Highly unlikely, yes, but unexpected things happen!
Wheelersburg has been very successful in the last thirty years or so, that it for sure. And they most definitely dominated the 90's. The last 8 years they've been very successful, but they haven't dominated. West has 3 titles. Minford has a couple. Waverly had a great team in 01 and lost to West. They went undefeated year before last and maybe had the best team this year until the injury bug set in.
I believe the rest of the league is catching Wheelersburg. Waverly has been good for 2 or 3 years. West and Minford have new coaches that are showing signs of building a program. Wheelersburg will always be good, but the fight for the SOC II is heating up I believe.
This is turning into a competitive league, I would not be surprised to see Minford, Waverly, West, or Wheelersburg win it. That will all change when Portsmouth and Ironton join.
I know Portsmouth is losing students like crazy, but Ironton is never going to be in the SOC, mark my words. The SOC teams can compete with both, I believe, not every year but many.
Ptown and Itowns population have declined very rapidly. They are NOW in our league as far as talent and competiton can give. We should welcome them into the fold wholeheartedly. It can only make us better! They are always good teams and it has been a shame that only Burg will give them a game. You other soc team posters shouldnt even converse on this thread if you bring up Itown and Ptown joining the ranks. I give Minford some cudos a few years ago and Waverly for battling for so many years against the tigers. Lets get some revenge on here!! Let the Trojans and the Tigers in the SOC2 and let the BATTLE BEGIN!! I have seen it all on this post so far, MINFORD, WEST,WAVERLY so good, let the TITANS IN!! You guys take the last 4 to 6 years into the account, let the TITANS IN!!! You sound like ohio state bashers. "WOW, Won your championships in the 50s". Put your money where your mouth is. Burg had down years but have won a share or outright the last 5-6 yrs. Couldnt win it yourselves?
As for next year, Waverly may have a team to compete vs Burg but those Burg sophs are the real deal and they will be JRs and spank some people around. Ironton will give them a good game for sure but the rest of the SOC will be hurting for a win vs this Burg squad. Ptowns sophs are going to make a game of it but fall behind at the end due to lack of strength overall. They will get tired.
I heard 67 kids out for weights at burg and its Woodwards privy to who plays where. So much talent. Too much attitude! Great kids and a good team philosophy. All about the team!!
Oh by the way,
MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN!! Good luck to all kids in this area and their parents. They deserve it!!
By the way, this is only football, any other sport, Burg has dominated almost every year. Dont let the trojan or tiger tell you different. Girls league Ironton and Ptown are underated. Itown and Ptown BBall are also underated most of the time. So dont let those tiger or trojan fans call you inferior. The soc2 is just as talented as they are in every sport. Football may be a challenge but they cannot give the soc2 crap in any other sport!

I think it's more like around 40-50 kids for the BURG. I dont think 67 kids are out and besides most will wuss out once practice starts...thats when the boys are separated from the men and the posers are weeded out of the crowd. If there are in fact 67 kids lifting and they all play then my dad and I will have to build more lockers.

Then it will be Tri-Champs every year with Portsmouth, Ironton and Wheelersburg winning it. You are right, it will change.
West has won 2 out of the last 3 and 3 out of the the last 6 versus Portsmouth, and we'll probably be favored this year. We can play with Portsmouth.
We've only beaten Ironton once in our history, but the last few games were competitive. They wore us down in the second half. Tripplett's weight program should help there.
I would be in favor of them joining, but I wouldn't look for it to happen.

I think the burg has a very good chance of winning another soc title but i think minford and maybe even waverly or west could give them a run for their money. I think the league could be very competitive this year. Waverly could be a team that surprises people with Roback playing qb he is fast and very athletic.
1.burg 2.minford 3. waverly 4. west 5.valley 6. northwest
good luck Pirates and bring another soc title back to the burg
