In 1989, the Wheelersburg "Pirates" football team won the Division IV state championship by defeating the Warren John F. Kennedy "Eagles." The Pirates were led by head coach Ed Miller, who also won two Associated Press state championships at Portsmouth Notre Dame in 1967 and 1970.

The Pirates are members of the Southern Ohio Conference, Division II. "The Burg," as it is affectionately called, has won their conference twenty-six times. In fact, Wheelersburg has captured more conference titles than all other member schools ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucasville%2C_Ohio Lucasville]] Valley], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minford%2C_Ohio Minford], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Portsmouth%2C_Ohio Portsmouth West], Scioto Northwest and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waverly%2C_Ohio Waverly]) combined.

Making the [[OHSAA]] playoffs eighteen times, the Pirates have captured five regional titles, reaching the state playoffs in 1981, 1989, 1991, 1994 and 1998.
