1989 Teams

[bleed_blue]

89 was a wonderful year. I had forgotten that team green had. and I was an insurance agent at the time and a big part of my route was the franklin furnace area. but I remember now. ironton won the d3 title over the Campbell memorial devils. and I also watched burg win it as well, but for the life of me I can't remember which team they beat to win the d4 title. awesome year of southern ohio football. when I was in school we had 3 divisons A,AA,AAA and ironton was AA.

Wheelersburg beat Warren John F Kennedy 14-7 I believe.

No I was just curious if green could play with the burg and ironton that year

You're such a liar. You literally only made this just to make Green look good at something for once.

Dude you don't know me or my intentions so back off

[Seabee_0586]

somebody tell ole Seabee that this was a cool topic.

ironton had a chance to win titles in 1979, 89, and 99.

they beat akron saint Vincent saint Mary's in 79 for the state title AA.
and beat Campbell memorial in 89 for the state title in D3
and were beaten by Sandusky perkins on an extremely controversial win. ironton clearly converted the 1st down on 4th and 1. and the ball spot didn't favor us. then Sandusky perkins threw a hail mary type pass into the end zone. the guy very apparently had stepped out of bounds, at least that's what I though I saw. and what people closer to the field said. or they'd have won the state title in 79,89,99.

I will find stats on the 89 team for green. I like reminiscing back when I was in school

Waverly had two brothers transfer from Green that played on our 1989 team...Matt and Chris Young. Matt ended up getting a track scholarship to be a long jumper at Kent State.

If I remember correctly Waverly had a stud QB who went to OU.

seabee that would be cool to see. my cousin Ronnie mulkey was a fullback for them back in the day. and his sister jody cheered there as well.i loved the folks in that school district. I also had a cancer plan for the teachers there they payroll deducted. and i wrote all the life insurance policies for all the new trustees.right there in the fire house every January 1st.

Seabee I sent you a pm.

I think it was back to back years. I was at both. One at Spartan and one at Tank. Now that I think about it I remember Spartan Burg won and at Tank Grove won

I remember Grove played their second round game at Spartan to win the region after beating Burg at the Tank in 1990. I really believe Burg played Brookville in the opening round of the 89 playoffs. I don trembler them playing CG other than the regular season. We need a pirate fan to verify for sure.

Couldn't find regional results, but according to the computer ratings, if Wheelersburg & Coal Grove each won their respective first round games in both years, they would've met in regional finals.

1989: 1. Wheelersburg v. 4. Brookville; 2. Coal Grove v. 3. Paint Valley

1990: 1. Coal Grove v. 4. Heath; 2. Crooksville v. 3. Wheelersburg

Just talked to someone I work with who was on the 89 and 90 teams. They beat Paint Valley 28-7 first round in and lost to Burg 28-26 in 89. They beat Burg by 1 and Heath by 7, and lost to Versales in the state semi's. Versales would go on to win state.

I remember some classic matchups between burg and the grove as well.

my heavens it is a pure pleasure to read through such southern OH football history. I was 8 years old at the time and being the son of a coach I remember those times as a young boy. I am going to assume a lot of the participants in this convo are former players.....on a side note Wellston felt like they won the State Championship in 1989, because they beat Jackson that year.

Burg beat Warren JF Kennedy 14-7. Great game. Victory was sealed by a tough defensive stand near our goal line. I believe it was Rich Gill who came up with big stop on 4th and short.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

it was an awesome year for southern ohio football.

it was an awesome year for southern ohio football.

Yes it was, I was a Sophomore during the Fighting Tigers first State Championship in 79

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I WAS A SOPHOMORE ON THE 78 TEAM, BUT I HAD A PRETTY BAD KNEE INJURY AND GOT SURGERY DONE AND HEADED OUT TO THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL TO LEARN A TRADE.
