IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS! 2024 DIVISION 5 STATE CHAMPIONS!

[RBH23]

Theres nothing in burg even remotely economically promising. Nothing.

And the high school football is awful. Lol

92 to 7.

And yet Burg has the highest median income and housing prices in the area. Along with the best academics while also being good in all sports.

Let’s look at Burg’s fall accomplishments:
- Regional runner-up in football
- Regional runner-up in volleyball
- Regional runner-up in boys soccer
- Regional semi-finalist in girls soccer
- Regional qualifier in cross country

So an average year but still the best overall performance of any school in SEO while also maintaining the best academics in the area. For most schools in Ohio, this would be their highlights over the past 10+ years. For Burg, this is just another fall.


Your jealousy of Burg is showing. You know down deep that Burg is a shining example of excellence, and it eats you up inside.

If you were a Burg grad, you would have been considered bottom of the barrel material. Although most Ironton fans on here consider you bottom of the barrel material as well.

If you were an Ironton fan your program would not have gotten 92 flopped on ya face.

Was that suppose to be written in English? Have to dumb down to speak whatever language you are attempting.

You are embarrassing yourself. I am starting to feel bad for you. Bragging about not winning regions?

With all do respect to the kids that play those sports. None of them, come close to drawing the attention football does. Ask anyone in Wheelersburg Football, they would have traded all of those " accomplishments" to beat Ironton just ONE time

Bragging about Soccer on a football thread? Nobody cares about soccer, or cross country. Deep down you know that yourself lol

See, that’s where you are wrong and don’t understand Burg. Football is important, but so are all sports in Burg, unlike Ironton.

Ironton is a one trick pony with one title in 35 years. Over those years, Burg won 7 titles in three different sports.

Move those goalposts baby.

Its a great thing burg really cares about their tiddly winks team because their football program was a TD and a 2 point conversion away from letting Ironton hang 100 points on their head in 24.

1 & 16

Move those goalposts baby.

Get on here to praise Terry, but IHS fans want to talk about Burg and their state titles. Just keeping up with the conversation.

True. They finally showed what it takes to win at IHS: lots of talent from other schools and an OC from Burg. LOL!!

[RBH23]

That RBH dude is really angry. Haven’t seen hatred like he has for Ironton in forever. You been hitting a nerve with him and getting him all flustered. The longer his posts are the more flustered he is. But he tell us how good Burgs softball team is so that makes it all good.

I keep my analysis factual.

Wheelersburg football has only made it past their region 4 times in over 40 years.

Wheelersburg is 1 & 16 vs Ironton, Jackson, & Harvest Prep combined over the last four seasons.

Ironton jammed a running clock down Softburgs throat, not once, but twice in 2024, for a combined final score of 92 to 7.

It took wheelersburg football their entire programs history to match the 79 and 89 state titles Ironton accumulated under Lutz in ten seasons.

And now Ironton has three and enroute to their 3rd title, embarrassed Softburg 55 to 0 in the playoffs.

The comparsion of these two programs is and always will be ridiculous.

Softburg is and always will be the envious and mouthy little sister that cant really hang.

92 to 7

And meanwhile, as Ironton is trying to schedule Marion Local, Softburg is trying to run away from competitive programs in their own region.

Comparing Ironton & burg is an insult to Ironton.

92 to 7

That’s sad that you are bragging about possibly playing ML, a great program but a small one. Burg played home games against Coldwater and Kenton back in the late 90’s. Nothing new about getting schools like this on the schedule.

What’s changed is that Lutz never would have played such schools; definitely wouldn’t be on the phone begging them for games. Too small for the Ironton teams of the 70’s and 80’s. Things have definitely changed.

Why is anyone talking about Wheelersburg? Well, I guess they aren’t. Their fans are clearly displaying IDS and making excuses for why Ironton is the best program in this part of the state. Plus Ironton’s in they head living rent free.

[TigerBob]

It is sad that Ironton has fallen so far as to attempt to schedule the team with the nation’s longest win streak. Bob Lutz would never!

Nobody is talking about SOFTburg. Softburg per as usual is talking about their DADDY IRONTON.

Aftet losing by the largest deficit in the history of the matchup with Ironton [ 55 to 0] and coming a mere TD and a 2 point conversion away from giving up 100 points to Ironton in 24, idk any redeeming qualities burg fans could conjure up about their severely lackluster football program that has only made it beyond the region 4 times in 40 years.

He is being sarcastic my guy. You dont read many books huh? Lol. Cant pick up on sarcasm or being facetious in written language?

He is being sarcastic man. Lol

Before some IHS fans lose their minds, let me start with IHS absolutely should play this game if ML deems IHS worth it. IHS needs the game, and this could be a money maker. Pendleton should take it even if it means traveling to ML with no home option.

That said, getting ML on the schedule is not a major achievement like some think. Pendleton getting Moeller? That was a big deal. Pendleton getting the Ironton Classic up and running? Impressive accomplishment. ML? We’ve already seen Coldwater and Kenton travel to SEO in the regular season to play. ML doing it falls in line with what has happened in the past.


Now as for Lutz, I’ll set this up so that you can answer this for yourself. Not sure your age, but assuming you were around in the 80’s when IHS was a D3 school and only five divisions existed. If so, then you know that Newark Catholic was the D5 powerhouse with 9 regional titles and 5 state titles in the 80’s alone. Once has a winning streak of 63-1. Not quite ML good but very good nonetheless.

So given all of that, do you really think Lutz was sitting by the phone hoping NC would choose to play Ironton? Do you think he would even give NC the time of day?

[798924]

It is sad that Ironton has fallen so far as to attempt to schedule the team with the nation’s longest win streak. Bob Lutz would never!

How dare they wanna break the longest win streak in the state. Should just beat oak hill and minford and then puff their chest out like "superior coaching & culture" SOFTburg.

92 to 7

How come "superior coaching & culture" SOFTburg cant get Moeller or a classic? No ambition?

I know what it is. Softburg is satisfied with beating up on oak hill and only making it past their region 4 times in 40 years, right?

Vast majority of comments about Burg on here are from IHS fans, so you guessed wrong.

Also “Ironton’s in they head…”? Why do a number of IHS posters struggle with the English language? LOL!!!

Be honest with your people. You think Softburg is due for a coaching change huh?

2017 is almost a decade ago.

Shew 92 to 7?

Yea, you want a change. Lol

Pendleton begging ML for a game, while ML coach states “we’ll consider our options.” Long way from the Lutz days.

Even Burg is dictating terms. Again, something that Lutz would not have tolerated.

Softburg cant even dictate keeping their kids from floppin around on the turf after a play vs Ironton man.

No Softburg alumn should be speaking on football. Maybe burg could put together a video game team?

Given that criteria and Ironton’s drought between titles, you shouldn’t have been discussing any sports for the past 35 years!! LOL!!
