Look, Ironton is good for the first time since forever ago. They may very well have as much talent as Burg. But should they be seeded #1? Just slow down. Good things are happening in Ironton. They may be even better next year, but they are inexperienced in big games, and that matters. Their strength...

And be very selective about what you post, like, share, tweet, or retweet on social media. College coaches WILL look, and if you make posts that show you to be of questionable character or tend to be caught up in drama 24/7 they will pass on you.

Burg

Everyone else is playing for second place.

Congratulations to those who won awards. With that being said saying this is an imperfect system is an understatement. To those of you who got snubbed keep digging. College coaches don’t even care about high school stats or awards because of how they can be manipulated. Hard work will pay off. I kno...

Former Ironton/Wheelersburg player taking home some post season hardware at the next level.
This kid works hard. I'm so proud of her.

Rookie of the year as well as first team all conference as a freshman.

Best of luck to Coach Pendleton. If kids leave then so be it. They can go. The rebuild will be a marathon not a sprint. It will be a complete culture change, and will be more about the kids coming up more than anything. The players immersed in the old system are potential distractions anyway if the...

Ask any parent and they will say their daughter throws 60. It's ridiculous. Just like every baseball pitcher can throw 90. You take it with a grain of salt. There is no need to be so obsessed with speed. I will take 55 with movement and location over 65 any day.

I also have a source that confirms that he declined the offer.

So who are the assistants?

I was just told he is not officially hired due to him saying he had to think about it. Seems par for the course. I heard He was all but hired at Perry Central, Ky and he backed out. Same thing at Parkersburg. He also interviewed at Boyd County. I know none of this first hand, but I trust my source.

Having had a kid graduate from one, and another kid graduating this year from the other I can say that they each have some wonderful teachers and administrators who care about the kids. Winning sporting events is fun, but at the end of the day each of these schools are churning out well rounded youn...

My daughter is playing in the North East in college. They played last week when it was 28 degrees with a breeze. It wasn't too bad when the sun was out. The first game went 12 innings, and the second game was overcast and the wind was awful. Wind chill in the single digits. I understand wanting to g...

It is what it is. When my daughter played softball for the burg I thought it was hilarious, and really enjoyed the broadcasts. I actually looked forward to them. When my son was playing football for Ironton against the burg I just knew not to turn it on.

Gotta hope the Tigers win this one. Another week with the new offense, and an opponent not named Burg, and we will get to see what we can do. That was a tough week 1 matchup. Big play after big play. I don't know a lot about Russell except they lost in OT to Greenup. How good is Greenup this year?

Wow! That really happened. Two teams on entirely different levels. I had hopes of Ironton at least making a game of it this year. For Ironton's sake I really hope Burg is just that good, and on their way to a state run. I have nothing but respect for their program and approach in all their sports. M...

I heard it was a prank gone too far. Silliness really. Should get squashed quickly. I heard nothing of a broken jaw.

The afternoon soap operas weren't on tv today. They were in the tiger locker room. One player quit, and two more were sent home for getting in a fist fight during nap time.
