Come on Eugene!! Don’t you like facts?? I reference my sources so you know the information is true and accurate.

No I'm just saying your obnoxious. I'm proud you had an opinion and found and cited your evidence. God job @BurgFan43 proud you could do that most people on here don't. Round of applause for BurgFan43 everyone.

Just so you know, it is no longer an opinion when you have facts and evidence from a reputable source. I appreciate the fanfare though!

Ahhh. What happened to your ignore button?? You just can help yourself. I know we have one girl playing softball at UVA and another going to Maryland and North Carolina. I’m unsure of the exact numbers if where graduates go but I can try to find out for you. I’m sure we have graduates at a lot of various universities.

I’m sorry if you don’t like to topics but I’m just responding. I know your wheels are falling off the “bus”, but wait until the next topic.

No, you're the "facts" guy. Get us the data of all your grads and let us know, until then, it's simply window dressing.

So UVa to play a sport, which you've been on some strange tirade about, and one at UNC. So your amazing academics off the top of your head have sent two students to public ivy's (Maryland is not a top public).

Wheels falling off? What are you talking about? This past month you've started thread after thread attacking Ironton, AD's, sports in general, facilities, and going on a rant about schools and academics over athletics, on a sports forum. I know you're unable to see the irony in all of your posts, but a rational person would take a step back and ask themselves what exactly are you trying to accomplish? No one is engaging with you because they agree, they're engaging because you're clogging up the board with non-sense.

Believe it or not, we have some athletes that fit in that 2% that are provided with a D1 college scholarship. Those kids that fit in the 2% deserve it. If you read in my posts, I have said numerous times that the Terry kid deserves it. He was a playmaker in himself. We will see how he progresses at Missouri.

As to where what kid is attending a university, I’ll leave that up to the parents to disclose that. Just know that we send more than our fair share to universities on academic scholarships. I don’t feel the need to prove anything to you. As you told me before, you was going to ignore my post but here we are once again. You just can’t help yourself.

You say time after time that I am attacking one school and that isn’t true. We have had some discussions about hot topics. I am sure many of the topics related to schools around you in “Cincinnati”.

Yeah, we have had discussion about academics because a kid can’t play sports without the grades. They can’t attend a university without the grades. There are certain requirements that must be met. There are also certain requirements to graduate. It doesn’t matter how good you are in sports if you don’t have the grades. You must be able to become a working tax paying citizen after you complete high school which has nothing to do with playing a sport. The Pleasant kid is an exception since he is playing in the NFL. How many others can you name??

I think it is great to defend your “family’s” interest but at the end of the day it is all about the kids and their education.

If it has nothing to do with sports, why are you talking about it in a sports forum?

Also: southeastohio as a whole including Wheelersburg SUCK academically. Everytime i hear a wheelersburg fan start the superior academic soapbox I just laugh. These Northern Virginia kids where I have lived in Fairfax & Loudon county Virginia would make wheelersburg look like academic rodents.

Theyd be fallin and floppin on the ground like ya football team when ya play Ironton or Prep.

I would have full confidence that our ACT/SAT scores would match and probably meet those of your Northern Virginia kids. Nobody here in the Burg is falling and flopping on anything. I would discourage you from putting Ironton and Prep in the same category, because Prep is a very disrespectful team. Ironton has much more class and discipline than Prep.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

After researching various teams that are on local schedules, I found that Canisius NY team on Ironton’s schedule had $22 million dollars in academic scholarships in 2024. I know several local teams celebrate athlete scholarships, but we should be spotlighting academic scholarships. I know it is a football thread but student and athlete goes hand in hand typically.

Because you're on a sports forum that discusses sports. How many threads are you going to start stating the same points over and over. The mods on this site need to start deleting duplicate threads that start the same conversation for the 50th time by the same poster.

How many Wheelersburg grads a year go to Ivy's or public Ivy's? How many go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, NYU, Cornell, Michigan, UVa, Berkeley, Duke, Vandy etc?

The mods on this site all have full time jobs and might be overseeing 100+ people in real life (ahem) and by the way it’s basketball season. Hit the report button so we get a notification.

Also @BurgFan43 …. Tick tick tick

Hopefully the people who doesn’t like me perspective will ignore me. I just feel I need to respond to comments they make directly to me. It just seems fair and I do back all of my comments with factual evidence.

I assure you I will try to be better.

Right? Again, the same response about academics on a sports forum. You can see they're in full attack mode against Ironton, which is comical.

I also agree, Wheelersburg compared to metro- Cincy schools dwarf their academic achievement based on a state report card. We have kids going to MIT, Harvard, Yale, Michigan, UVa, Duke and Stanford yearly. The superior academic achievement comments are relative and subjective if you actually compare them to schools state wide. Cool, Wheelersburg is outdoing Rock Hill, no one cares.

Comparing Wheelersburg (town of 6,000) to Cincinnati metro with a population of $2.3MM? LOL!!

Can only speak for myself: finished 25th in class of 108 at Burg so not the greatest. Had no troubles in undergrad or grad school; Burg schools prepared me well. And now doing far better professionally than the vast majority you mention in the Cincinnati metro area. But I’m not nearly the exception in my class at Burg. Numerous others have done extremely well in medicine, finance, business, athletics, etc leaving their mark all over the country.

Not bad from a town of 6,000 and a class size of 108.

There are no great numbers of academic overachievers in southern ohio. There are outliers/exceptions, but its not common. Seo struggles mightily on a state and national basis academically just like they struggle financially and health related. This guy is reaching for whatever because Ironton 92 burg 7. Lol

You clearly read that wrong. Finishing 25th out of 108 is not impressive at all. I wasn’t a big fish in the mud hole. But that mud hole taught me very well resulting in my success in the big ocean. Have done very well since leaving the mud hole with credit going to the teachers and coaches in said mud hole helping me prepare for the bigger waters.

As for this being uncommon and an exception, you may be referring to your high school but you are clearly unaware of the success Burg students have had outside the mud hole. The list is extensive and extremely impressive: doctors, lawyers, engineers, pharmacists, banking, management, etc. and I’m just referring to my class of 108.

You again? For how successful and intelligent you claim to be you can't seem to apply the logic in any instance. Saying a school is a 4.5 star school really means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Is a 4.5 in SEO the same as a 4.5 in Cincy metro? That's the point.

You're doing better off than the vast number of grads who have gone to Ivy and public Ivy based on the quantitative data I am sure you have to support your claim. We are all so proud of you.

Such a strange claim to make on a sports forum. I am doing better than the top 1% of Cincy metro in life because I said so. That can be measured I am sure. Cool story man. We are all very impressed.

In northern va its mostly not a question of if succesfull. Its just a matter of when and where they choose to take their talents. Also most parents here have the financial ability where the sky is the limit for our kids options. They just have to make a choice.
