The burg class of 2018 wasn't very good in jr high? Really?

The 2018 Waverly class was good. You guys beat us 20-0 in 8th grade. Where do you get this stuff?

Really! Never said they never won a game. I watched them in 7th and 8th to say they were avg would be generous
The group behind them has always been pretty dominant

Not very good as 7th graders, a little better in 8th, pretty solid as freshman. No one looked at this group of seniors in jr high and said that group is future State Champions

Because high school is about 3 classes and how they mesh.
Very few times do classes come along that don't need much help.

Lowery coming to Burg after his freshman year at Portsmouth made a huge impact on the team. He was fantastic on both sides of the ball. Nice basketball player also.

I would never call the 2018 class average even without Lowery. Some tremendous athletes in that class. But as mentioned above, high school is about blending several classes together.

Lowery came after his sophomore year. Where do you get this stuff . Nobody is going to say there avg now.

He came after his sophomore year....got it.

No where near the vicinity of average. Present or past

You can go back in the jr high thread from years ago and find some of the scores
They lost pretty big by jr high standards to coal grove, Minford and west. Couldn’t find anymore scores. I remember them beating ironton and valley I remember going to the old Jackson high school field and watching them manhandle a few burg teams over the years but unsure on the years.
Jackson has always seems to dominate the burg in the lower grades
If you look at the best team in area threads from 2013 jr high no one was mentioning the burg
No harm in agreeing to disagree

I believe the SOC2 again runs through Wheelersburg. The athletes that The Burg has returning on both sides of the ball will prove to be a tall task for any SOC2 team. What I think is even more important is the leadership that returns. The seniors and even juniors that saw time at crucial points in the season last year will have this team clicking on all cylinders. In my opinion the offense will be better than it was last year, which is hard to imagine, but the development at QB and WR positions will be deeper. The RB position has potential to be very dynamic, with multiple athletes touching the ball, and I think the OL will surprise some people even though they have to replace 4 starters. The back end of the defense is again filled with athletes that can fly around and make plays, along with the leadership of 1 returning LB (and the offseason addition). The DL will return multiple guys that saw a lot of time last season but it will be interesting to see if they can develop into the physical staple of the defense as they did last year. All in all, look for it to be another exciting year in The Burg.

With the recent ruling regarding transfer eligibility from the OHSAA will the player from Ironton stay since he' only the elegible for first 5 games if he's open enrollment?

He transferred before the rule. I think he’d be ineligible transferring back. Plus I think he moved to district.

If a parent lives in district it doesn’t matter

He transferred pre-ruling. He will be eligible for last 50% and playoffs. I’d heard they moved to Burg but can’t confirm that.

[TCat]

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know he had moved.

Also rumors of several players at the middle school level transfering open enrollment. Are those true?

What do you mean?

[TCat]

Was told a few middle school players were transferring in open enrollment.

With the more penalties for transferring at the high school level players are tranferring earlier. Rules seem to be much more relaxed in middle school as far as transferring.

[wobycat]

They may. I think they will happen earlier but burg has to be full by now.

There’s always unlimited space at our Super Secret Training Facility under Ed Miller Stadium. Lol

Absolutely. Always room for one more footballer or basketball star. It’s like magic. Need a spot. There’s a spot open.

[TCat]

If they're good they'll find room for them.
