Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Then what does that say about Pendleton? According to Ironton fans on this site, he has taken calls from Masters, Salyers, and the Burg Lattimore brothers. Also many other nameless Burg players. Who knows how many players from the tri-state area. Ironton fans bring these calls up every year with re...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

I know this seems shady to you since you are accustomed to the coach reaching out to the players, but the mom can call the coach to talk to him. Coach can’t make any decisions, which is why the mom had to talk to the superintendent. Again, completely foreign to you as an Ironton fan, but that’s how...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

His mom can call whomever she likes. She has no limitations on who she can call. Now the head coach does not have that luxury; again something foreign to IHS :) He can’t talk to a players mom about her son playing for him while he is enrolled at another school. This just wreaks of shady. I know thi...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

He was kicked off the Portsmouth team his Junior year. He did have some issues coming in so yes, Coach Woodward did "take him on" and I believe it all worked out fine for him and the Burg. Devon's Mom contacted Coach Woodward and I'm sure his past came up in the conversation and I believe...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Reading comprehension fails again. She CALLED him, versus Pendleton calling her! Then she met with the school superintendent. Was asked if anyone from Burg contacted her first. She said no but did say that she was contacted by Pendleton. I know it drives you nuts that Burg doesn’t play these games ...

Wow! Good to see the Burgites finally admit they recruit. Come on down to a Tiger Clan meeting if you want to get into the real estate game as well. Reading comprehension fails again.

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Perkins was all state as a sophomore at Valley. Very good chance he ends up at a school like Marshall even if he stayed at Valley. Portsmouth has produced more D1 football and basketball players than Burg. His high school experience may have been better being on winning teams at Burg, but it is ver...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Who are these kids you speak of? Haven’t seen too many on Burg’s roster. Just some of the kids Woodward has brought in over the years. Wilson, Lowry , Gregg, Lattimore :lol: that was like over a 6 year span bro…lol. I know Gregg been out four years now at least.. he couldnt hack it at Ashland… …u g...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Agree. No idea why IHS fans are so defensive about their transfers while constantly focused on where Burg players were born. Last year, they wanted to debate Hutchinson’s current address and where his dad/grandfather went to school. Today, it’s where Matthews started school. Bottom line is: Pendlet...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

It blows my mind how many times I’ve seen this debacle. It’s like watching a dog run and chase it own tail. Who gives a flying if a kid goes to Ironton be thankful we don’t have what WV has which is 10x worse. Teams that are perennial state powers and have won state championships there are getting ...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Oh, the obsession with Ironton football and its transfers these days is quite funny, as if Irontons the only team that gets them. Love it 😂 😂 😂 There’s 21 teams in D5 with a CB # of 20 or more and 14 with a CB # equal or higher then Irontons. Obsession with Ironton football and transfers? I had to ...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Lattimore last year from Portsmouth. Greg from Ashland a few years ago. And the state team had a kid, Lowry, from Portsmouth. Don’t know of any Green running backs that transferred in. I think his name was Mathews, he started at Green and transferred in to Wheelersburg. So which kid are you referri...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Bring them in. One, Ironton absolutely needs them, and two, why work so hard to get them in just to turn them away? Who was the transfer running back Burg had a few years ago? Came from Green maybe , Matthews maybe . Lattimore last year from Portsmouth. Greg from Ashland a few years ago. And the st...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

That has never happened, so can’t say for certain. That said, in the past, Burg has typically been friendly to transfers, but we are talking one here and one there. I can only think of once where kids tried to transfer in and didn’t get a warm welcome. Yes it seems you always welcome anyone who tra...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Did you forget to include the question? If Wheelersburg had 4 very good football players that moved into Wheelersburg from surrounding areas and they wanted to play for Wheelersburg, would they welcome them or turn them away because of principals. That has never happened, so can’t say for certain. ...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Can’t move past it? I think Pendleton is doing the right thing recruiting for Ironton. Again, he gets paid to win, and he should do whatever it takes to make that happen. As for why don’t more kids transfer to Burg? It’s not an easy school to transfer into. One, it’s a very tight-knit community tha...

Re: 2024 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Hopefully Burg fans, boycott the Ironton Burg game. It must be pretty miserable seeing transfers go to Ironton and beat Burg every year in football. These old heads can’t move past it, Maybe the question is why are not kids transferring to Burg to play football from the SOC? They are bypassing Burg...
