4-3 favor of ironton i guess the tigers get the nod from me. sounds like a good matchup to take in on a friday night

You need to keep in mind that for the most part Ironton was a BIG OLE DIV 4 team while Wheelersburg was a LITTLE OLE DIV 5 team....and in 1999 LITTLE OLE DIV 5 Wheelersburg defeated a BIG OLE DIV 4 Ironton team that went on to play in the BIG OLE DIV 4 State Championship game..... but Kantuck and TigerBait will you that divisions make no difference.

DA BURG never won fewer than 8 games in any season during that decade and won a total of 93 games..... and they didn't play any cheap schedules either. After all, they do play the mighty Ironton Tigers don't they (and SEVERAL other higher division teams).


DA BURG was also winning state championships and playing in state finals and semi-finals in baseball and basketball during that same decade.

So, even though Ironton won the football series 4-3, as far as PROGRAMS go I'd have to go with little ole div 5....... DA BURG.

Actually, 1999 was one of the rare years that Wheelersburg was in D-IV....Wheelersburg did get their 1st win at Tank Stadium that year in a thrilling 10-7 win.

In the Playoffs, Wheelersburg was defeated by Germantown Valley View in the 2nd round...VV went on to play Ironton in the next round...VV's qb was injured in the 1st half and Ironton went on to win and get to the state finals.

An Ironton-Wheelersburg rematch that year would've been incredible..

That was the year that Burg lost to Portsmouth in the final game of the season. It cost Burg an AP title, and got the Trojans into the playoffs. PHS then lost to Valley View, before Valley View beat Burg. Burg PHS and Ironton were all very good that year.
