Is Pendleton leaving Ironton?

Fear and respect are two different words. And if you equate the two, not sure you are paying Burg a compliment by saying we no longer fear (ie respect) them.

That said, maybe this is an age thing. I see “fear” used a lot on this site as in “we don’t fear them” or “everyone fears us.” That’s stuff I never heard growing up when it came to high school sports. Again, we are talking high school sports, not Mike Tyson in the ring. At the high school level, the only thing we feared was the wrath of coach Miller.

Now there was an exception to this. Cheerleaders would create posters using words like fear, etc. So I guess I stand corrected. Cheerleaders spoke like that. LOL!!

How about intimidating? That work for you? Semantics at this point. I think you get the point.

I can't help what you did or didn't experience in high school, and as you and everyone knows, times change.

You have heard "they should fear us", so you do know the meaning of the terminology. Again, this was meant to be a term of endearment but it has turned into a debate of sport dialogue.

I can assure you when we play Cin. Moeller, our head football coach always says he has to coach the fear out of his team first. It's a pretty normal use of the word for intimidating. I'll do my best to better articulate next time ol timer

So, I guess the answer to the question after 4 pages of chatter is no, Pendleton isn’t leaving Ironton

“They should fear us”, yep, that’s what cheerleaders would put on a poster; were you a cheerleader? Also a cheesy line used by professional wrestlers

I highly doubt Pendleton had to coach the fear out of Ironton in preparation for the Moeller game; those boys were probably pumped about the opportunity. However, if I’m wrong, then things have dramatically changed in I-town. IHS boys of the 80’s and 90’s would not have feared any team. He!!, those guys would have liked their chances against the Buckeyes. LOL!!

Seriously, what school did you go to where the players were in fear of their opponents? That said, I think I do get the point: you grew up in the generation that wears helmets while riding their tricycles

[ohbuckeye2]

He’s not leaving Ironton, get over it folks.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

i hope you're right buck

I thought the other poster was a moron, but big bad machismo Wheelersburg sports star may take the cake. I have been on here since 2009, rarely post, and your posts have been the most revealing of any I have seen on this site in terms of ability to comprehend simple concepts.

Congrats, you've now taken this conversation in another moronic direction.

Name calling. Always a sign of intelligence. LOL!!

I brought “this conversation in another moronic direction?” This from the person who actually stated “we no longer fear Wheelersburg.” LMFAO!

That truly is the most bizarre and saddest comment I’ve read on this board. If you use to “fear” the big, bad Burg, the rest of the world must seem truly terrifying to you!

But on a positive note, you appear to have gotten over your “fear”, so congrats on that. Maybe this year, you can finally turn your nightlight off

Why in the would anyone fear Burg ?

[ohbuckeye2]

I’ve seen several posts on social media where Ironton fans are drumming up support for people to go to the board meeting. What exactly is going on?

Like I’ve said, He’s not leaving Ironton, as much as everyone hopes he will, ain’t happening anytime soon.

Thanks Uncle Rico. I can tell who hasn't left their hometown in their lifetime.

I can also tell who hasn't been around or coached a sport since the 1990s.

Such a weird fixation on a word that is thrown around in sports vocabulary daily.

“I can tell who hasn’t left their hometown…”. LOL!

Actually, you cannot. I haven’t lived in Wheelersburg since high school. Travel more in one year than most will travel in a lifetime. You will never see as much of the world as I already have. So epic fail on that statement.

“I can also tell who hasn’t been around or coached…”. LOL!!

Wrong once again. Coached travel basketball when my son was in school. Coached some really good kids and athletes along the way.

My response to your “fear” comment was an attempt to free you from your “loser” mentality which, based on your comment, is something you have. Something you need to work on.

Thanks for the comment. Not worried at all because this person has no idea what they are talking about.

The travel team I coached was part of the school, in this case a D1 school. Maybe travel team is the wrong words but it was definitely tied to an educational athletics environment.

One kid on the team was Phoenix Wolf. His name may sound familiar because his family moved to Waverly where Phoenix and his brother were football stars.

Yeah I figured that out a while back. That is impressive that you were involved with a D1 program. Some people’s perspective can get blurred when it involves a family member.

You have no clue what you are talking about!

I call it a “travel team” because they play other schools in their conference. The technical name of this school league is <Name of School> Youth Basketball Competitive League which now plays in the Cincinnati Premier League; played in the GWOC when I coached.

In the school district I live, they start these teams in 3rd grade where each grade has three teams (use to be A, B, and C teams).
Tryouts are held and 7-10 kids picked for each team based on skill, etc. Being a big school, most kids obviously don’t make a team, and the school has a different league for them similar to the leagues back in my day.

Now do you understand? I can keep trying to explain it to you, but you need to put your brain to use and at least attempt to understand.

I've coached high school baseball and track for over 20 years in Kentucky and Cincy, what you're describing is in no way educational athletics. I don't expect you to understand given your hang up with a compliment given that started all of this. The affiliation is 100% in NAME only. I live, teach and coach in Cincy, I am familiar, and what you're describing ins a rec league made up of district teams from across the metro area.

Again, I know you can't seem to understand the difference between educational athletics (interscholastic), versus rec leagues. You called it travel, which is also not accurate either.

What you're describing is no different than youth organizations with teams from perspective school districts made up of volunteer youth coaches. When the Fairland All-Star basketball team plays Chesapeake, that's not affiliated with the school outside of NAME only.

None of this matters. You can think what you want, it doesn't make it anymore accurate. Congrats again, you coached a youth league team.
