Ironton scheduled up when they had the gut, the nut, & the ability to contend for the W.

The burg has been really good.

The best for a while, but I cannot see any benefit to this series with Hartley!
The injuries make the basis for my statement.
They are FACTS!

Ironton has the right coach & AD In place to build within a competitively growing Tri-State high school football pool, not get slaughtered because of a down year, & still build for conference and possible playoff contention.

PenTon & FighTing Tiger crew have started with small steps after a good playoff game last year.
They’ve incorporated reasonable and smart steps to reach attainable goals.
Small, medium & large goals!
They must accomplish many small goals, to move to the medium goal, to reach the large goal!

They control each accomplished goal each week with being competitive and growing & the goals become fulfilled each week.

Nowadays, all of those goals can be accomplished in their backyard river yard & along SEO 52.

Just enough preparation for final goals.
OVC
Playoffs & run thereafter!.
Smart stuff!


No running clock needed!!!

Remember when Burg thought this was a good idea a couple years ago? lol
just pray that no one gets hurt.

Just pray you show up on the thread, after our game with you next season!

So because I make fun of Burg fans means I have a great football program I root for? I took a jab at your arrogance.

& it's a fair jab. Over and over during late july & into August we heard all about 5 QB's deep & blistering team speed. Experienced and deep at the LOS. Athletes in abundance. I don't really care how any of you from any side feel about it. When you blow gas & then ya get punked two weeks in a row, you get to be the heal. Stop boucing checks.

"Wheelersburg will be 0 - 3 going into week 4."

This week I'm tellin ya again, I stand by it. Next week, I'll be telling ya I told ya so. #SILENCED

[XandO72]

Pulling for the Pirates big time. At the moment, they're still the best program in southern Ohio.

At the moment they are 0 - 2 going into week 3 vs 3 - 0 Ashland. The past is the past. Only as good as the last game you play. For now, the only thing Burg is or has been, is a punching bag for southern and northern Ohio. It is what it is. Stop gassing a team that has been outscored darn near 80 - 12 in Ohio. Skin is way too thin in this fan base. Best at what?

[522Pirate]

Still thinking about those Pirates huh?

Hate to throw a monkey wrench into your well thought out idea here, but you do realize that schedules and series with teams are done sometimes, 2-3-4 years in advance?? Meaning the new coach and AD would have little to nothing to do with this years schedule, so these small steps you speak of would've been put into place before the new guys came along. It's not because they came along that they've made out the schedule to do what you laid out there. Now let's start seeing how that schedule works come next year and the years after to see what they think of their team and how they want to run it. In terms of playing Bishop Hartley, sorry but for most teams in this area there just isn't much need to put them on the schedule. I mean you look at the burg last year, in a year they went to the state semifinal game they were still beaten with a running clock. Burg scheduled up in a year they had a very good team in 2018 so they planned accordingly it's just that most schools want that 2 year deal home and away series so it caught them this year. No harm in scheduling up but schedule up accordingly.

I think you know all about them. your...love to see Ironton and Hartley, wow !...NO YOU WOULDN'T!

Hartley looked like a small college team. Very big O-line and very speedy backfield. They will make some noise come playoff time. There defense was just as strong as I would venture to guess there first team defense held Burg to minus yards.


Tough on Burg when they lost another starter early on in Hunter Ruby. Wouldn’t of mattered but you hate to see Seniors or anyone for that matter go down that early. Burg had a few nice defensive plays but just way to much speed to catch up to.

Burg will right the ship hopefully next week. Got to see some new runners (Swords being one) that ran really hard. Will be another tough one but a winnable game for Burg.

Sorry to hear about more injuries.

Good luck against AshLand.

ashland will not show any mercy......... that just who they are always have been

[eagle one]

Hartley will win easily and Ashland should beat them the next week. Burg should still win the conference barring anymore injuries to key players in the next couple weeks. If Mathews returns later in the year I would think by that time the QB situation would be resolved and he would not be put in harm's way at that position but the coach will decide that. He's only around 5'9" and a buck 70 anyway and it don't take a rocket scientist to figure out who the other team is coming after first if he's back there taking the snaps. If a freshman or sophomore has to step it up at that position it is trial by fire but they'll get the experience early. They definitely layed an egg in the first half friday night and this week won't be any better. We'll see how they progress before playoff time .

wont beat portsmouth with this team.....

[The Nature Boy]

Again you have down years but I think the injury bug has hurt Burg a lot. I believe week in and out there are no gimme games for Burg this year. Until they get their horses back, it's going to be tough sleigh riding. If your a true fan, keep rooting for your team no matter what. I am 100% positive the kids appreciate it because all the hard work the kids and coaching staff have put in this is surely killing them inside. Go Burg and all the rest of the southern Ohio teams. The season goes fast so enjoy it.

Good thing there not on the schedule then

[fbnut]

No one in the stadium felt the burg had a chance including the players and coaches and it showed
#20 for burg stood out, the kids not afraid to stick his nose in there and make a tackle
#23 looked good running the football, looked very instinctive with his cuts and vision
Thought #14 looked good considering all the pressure he was getting
Not looking good for burg if they keep losing 2-3 players every week to injury

burg doesnt play portsmouth this year??

Burg hasn't played Portsmouth in years. After the drubbing the Pirates put on the Trojans in the first game ever played at the new stadium, 63-0 if I remember correctly, the Trojans dropped the Burg and refused to renew the contract.

Wow , more arrogance . Even after 3 blow out losses in a row you are still taking jabs at other schools. Again I would just try and get better with Ashland coming up.
