Re: Ironton Talent
You're proving our point. Kids are moving to the district in junior high and spending their entire HS career at Burg. There is a difference in moving in jr high and moving in as a senior starter. Burg has had 2 maybe 3 kids transfer in for their senior year in the past decade or so. Most people will think its sketchy when 4 happen in one year. I'm not saying anything has happened but that doesn't help. Btw Burg has lost multiple good athletes to surrounding schools in recent memory.Larry Fine wrote: Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:02 pmLast year Wheelersburg literally had 11 new starters move between 7th and 8th grade, get off your high horse.

Re: Ironton Talent
It doesn’t matter what grade you steal other schools talent, bottom line is Burg wins with other schools kids. But if you claim other schools 8th grade kids as your own homegrown kids then go for it. Not only do you stack up your roster but you deplete the other SOC schools.spider2Ybanana wrote: Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:07 pmYou're proving our point.

Re: Ironton Talent
Kids come and go from every school in the area. It's the way things go sometimes. Strap up and play the game. You think Wheelersburg wouldn't love to have Irontons 2nd best player back on our roster? Of course we would, but that's rarely brought up.Larry Fine wrote: Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:15 pmIt doesn’t matter what grade you steal other schools talent, bottom line is Burg wins with other schools kids.

Pretty good evidence for Burg coaches too. 1 or 2 transfers ok but when you have 7-8 players in one class that’s not coincidence.

Re: Ironton Talent
They actually had five transfer in. One already went back to his original school, one came in because his dad married a burg girl, one stayed, one quit football to my knowledge, and the last one already lived in burg his whole life but was going to minford.

Re: Ironton Talent
Wheelersburg has never had 5 players transfer in to play 1-2 years let along 5 starters. That, my friend, is not the same thing. Does Wheelersburg have kids from outside the district spread throughout the program? Of course, but that is not the conversation at hand. Not even close to being comparable.
