2024 Wheelersburg Pirates

[TigerBlood00]

Irontons young QB Edwards is younger and already more dynamic. Burg is in for a tough season imo.

If so, why wasn’t he starting last year ahead of Thacker, the kid who threw for less than 30 yards against Burg? Let me repeat: less than 30 yards passing against Burg! If Edwards is so great now, surely he was better than 30 yards passing a year ago.

Maybe want to wait until he actually starts at QB in a varsity game before making any grandiose claims. The game is a lot different in front of a crowd with a defense coming at you.

Plus throw in the fact you take away the long TD run by Terry and they only score 10 points and then the fact that Burg held up their end of the bargain in the playoffs for a rematch where ironton couldn't beat HP either.

Lmao what is burgs combined W/L vs Ironton, Jackson and Prep over the last 5 years?

I like "throwing in the fact" that burgs program has only made it outta their region 3 times in about 3 decades.

On a different note, have you heard anything about number of boys Burg will have on the team this year?

Burg always has good numbers. As they should. All those new houses being built in the land of milk & honey. I wouldn't fret bout losing a few Franklin Furnace recruits back to their homegrown program. Larger enrollment. Superior coaching & culture. Those are the fundamentals that you build a dynasty on.


Week one ain't far.
No excuses.

I look at Burg numbers because you can predict their success based on that. That is the one factors overlooked on their 2017 team, and also overlooked as a big reason why they dominate the SOC.

Burg team with 80+ is a regional contender. Around 70, and the results will most likely be what we have seen the past 5 years. Start getting around 50-60 range, and then the SOC becomes competitive.

Ironton has been having bigger #s come out for football in recent years. But I don’t think it will ever be bigger than Burgs 80+ kids due to the fact that everyone says Coach Pendletons program is so tough and if kids aren’t full committed they can’t do it. That drives the #s down a little every year because of the work load and commitment he requires out of his program.

Are maybe some kids aren't playing for Ironton because they know a kid will be brought in and take their spot on the field so why kill yourself in practice and just be a blocking dummy all year. How many kids have left Ironton the last 6 years to go play elsewhere??

[yabbadabbadoo]

I told you once clown, it's 5 times Burg has won the region in the last 3 years. At least get your facts straight.

How tough is the program though?

At some point, all of the D1 offers and scholarships are wonderful, but why are the kids not staying or even still playing if they are going through such a tough program at Ironton?

Reid left OSU for solid reasons and I would think he would get to play quite a bit at WVU this fall. But what about the rest?

Is Keyes even playing football?

Carter and Perkins are now at Pikeville?

Is Washington still at Kentucky?

Is Felder still at EKU?

Is Duncan at Miami?

Why are none of the Ironton players playing in college?

Ok so its either 3 times or 5 times in 3 DECADES. 30 years!!

and how many titles has ironton won with all of those regional title wins??

Isn't it just two? I thought I had read that on here somewhere and wasn't the last one in 1989 maybe!!!!

In the words of Rickey Bobby, "If you ain't first you're last!"

Yeah and have at least won 2 state titles out of those 5 years.

So it took burg their entire programs history to match the two titles Ironton accumulated in 10 years time.
And burg has only won their region 5 times in the last 3 DECADES.
And Ironton has been to more title games in the last seven seasons than burg has in programs history?

This isn’t the 70’s or 80’s. Ironton’s golden years are long gone while Burg has been stacking up state titles in multiple sports.

1989 was a long time ago. Ironton doesn’t win a title this year, you better hold onto ‘89. Will be the last title Ironton ever wins!

A program that has only made it out of their region 5 times in 30 years has already hit their cap. Dont look for more lol. The odds are bad

Burg had a good 7 on 7 tonight with Welston. Welston a little out matched but they have a few skilled that can play. Burg missing a few this evening but thought they looked quick to the ball.

Here’s that ironton math again…in all of ironton’s football program history (114 full seasons) they have how many state titles? 2? and in 24 fewer seasons Wheelersburg has how many state titles? Oh it’s 2 as well? So seems as though Wheelersburg has the better ratio of seasons to championships…

[TigerBob]

Congratulations to Wheelersburg on their State Titles Ratio Championship.
