Well during Pendletons tenure there have been homegrown Ironton kids recruited at the D1 level as pretty decently rated recruits.
Burg hasn't been able to develop those so yes, Irontons homegrown talent is more talented than "Homegrown Burg" also.
See, what you are missing is a lot of Burg kids, most of them sports players as well are going on to college to become Doctor's and Lawyers and such.
"Momma Don't let your babies grow up to be Tigers!"
Once one of those "D1" recruits for Ironton makes it to the NFL then come talk to me!! Has any of them even sniffed the field since going on to college?? It's great they are getting that eduamication and all but as far as playing time. Isn't happening!
I'll take that Burg is a softball school right now. Bringing home that gold trophy each year has been nice!!
Kinda makes one curious as to why ALL of these physicians and attorneys the big city of wheelersburg produces ain't coming back to "the land of milk and honey" to practice, and why burgs average median income is so darn low and sad in comparison. I live in Loudon County in Northern Virginia where we do actually have a lot of "doctors and lawyers and engineers etc and we don't just claim to produce em when MAYBE one kid outta 4 or 500 is probably undergrad pre law or pre med and is most likely to change direction and be managing a Walmart in the area in ten years?
Gimme a break. That's cap lmao
Wheelersburg produces plenty of copper wire reappropriaters and methamphetamine cooks, but doctors and lawyers?
May want to double check your math on that. My class alone destroys your numbers. Hell, my three closest friends and I do that: one masters in economics and runs an investment fund, one pharmacist who’s also married to a pharmacist, one engineer who owns a very successful business, and one engineer with a MBA who is an exec at a Fortune 500 company. There are also other pharmacists, doctors, lawyers, engineers, and successful businessmen from our class of 110! Btw, none of us four made honor society at Burg and yet had incredible success outside of the Burg.
As for Loudon County, it’s great that you love it. But definitely not my cup of tea. Not a fan of the east coast. If I wanted to overpay for a house and taxes, I would move west. At least the weather is nice. But would never consider Loudon County a great place to live.
