[trojandave]

In looking at the playoff histories of Wheelersburg, Ironton, and Steubenville, I found it interesting how these 3 prominent schools have fared in their playoff accomplishments. Listed below is the playoff record of each school, including 2017's first round results:

Wheelersburg: 29 appearances, overall record 31-27, 1 state title (1989), 0 State Runnerups, 6 Final 4's (2015, 1998, 1994, 1991, 1989, 1981)

Ironton: 33 appearances, overall record 45-31, 2 state titles (1979, 1989), 6 State Runnerups (1999, 1993, 1992, 1988, 1982, 1973), 11 Final 4's (1999, 1995, 1993, 1992, 1989, 1988, 1985, 1982, 1979, 1975, 1973)

Steubenville: 30 appearances, overall record 62-26, 3 state titles (1984, 2005, 2006), 5 State Runnerups (2016, 2015, 2008, 1987, 1988), 17 Final 4's (2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2003, 1994, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1985, 1984)

Both Ironton and Steubenville have played in 8 state championship games, with the Big Red having a 3-5 record, while the Fighting Tigers are 2-6. Wheelersburg is 1-0.

3 great programs that have been consistently good over the course of the OHSAA's playoff history. Currently, Wheelersburg, is far and away the best program in the SE district, but Ironton does have a decided edge in playoff wins, state runnerups, and Final 4 appearances.

one of the coolest playoff games I ever saw was Portsmouth/Portsmouth west in ironton in the mud bowl. needless to say, I was on the covered side where the Trojan fans were. because we were getting African rains.

Burg will pass Ironton in 5 years in every category but being a bridesmaid. Steubenville will outpace both.

[79Tiger]

So you're saying the Burg will win 2 state titles in the next 5 years?

Find it fascinating how Stuebenville likes to make out like they are god's gift to HS football when they constantly demonstrate what a train wreck they are. Good thing the OHSAA had to step in and tip the scales for them this season by moving Hartley up otherwise Reno and his underlings would be facing a third straight loss to the Hawks.

KINDA FUNNY, CALL ME WHEN YOU GET ANOTHER, AND HAVE BEEN IN 8 OF EM.

You said surpass in all but state runners up. They won't even surpass in wins. Their only chance to surpass appearances is if Ironton continues on their current path downward. Other than that, squat.

Burg will pass in appearances, they are only 4 away from tying Ironton. I can see Ironton missing in the coming years, since the rest of the OVC has caught up to them. Coal Grove looks to be on top for at least another year or two, and Gallia is on the rise.

If Burg goes on a run they could surpass all of them. I did say if, so don’t jump all over me. Ironton is down for the foreseeable future. They may make another appearance in the next 5 years. But I would count on it the next 2. They have a tough road to hoe.

With the MAC out of DVI, yeah, Burg could bring two titles home. Would not be surprised one bit if they did.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

that would be awesome. but I hope my fighting tigers can get back to a couple as well.

You mean DV. But they still have MAC schools in DV.

Sorry, yes, I️ meant DV, and the MAC schools left in DV have not been of much account. Burg can definitely play with them night in and night out
