IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS! 2024 DIVISION 5 STATE CHAMPIONS!

[798924]

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?

92 to 7

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

And yet here we are and 2017 is almost a decade ago.

1 & 16

92 to 7

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.

With all due respect,your nuts.ML isn’t a small school in football,only in school size.They have as many players as 90% of the schools in Ohio.

To diminish a state championship in any sport is so sophomoric. The kids playing, and giving their time, deserve more from adults on a stupid sports site. It makes me wonder if some ever played the game of football. If so, you wouldn't be so quick to undermine the sustained excellence

Seems like mostly if not all Burgers doing this. I read somewhere that Ironon lives rent free in the Burgers’ heads. Seems pretty accurate.

Hardly the case!

True, but so did Newark Catholic back in the day. Lutz still wasn’t calling them for a game. Just different times.

It’s so irrelevant that you can’t stop talking about it. LOL!!

The offer still holds. Come to the IHS-Burg game next year, and we’ll setup a tour. Lots of trophies in the case, so we will explain what they represent. Will even help you read the big words.
