Ohio High School Athletic Association championships and appearances
In 2015, Wheelersburg Baseball became the first OHSAA team ever to win 6 straight regional championships from 2010 to 2015.
Football
In 1989, the Wheelersburg "Pirates" football team won the Division IV state championship by defeating the Warren John F. Kennedy "Eagles" 14-7. The Pirates were led by head coach Ed Miller, who also won two Ohio 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 thirty times. In fact, Wheelersburg has captured more conference titles than all other member schools (Lucasville Valley, Minford, Portsmouth West, Scioto Northwest and Waverly) combined.
Making the OHSAA football playoffs twenty-seven times, the Pirates have captured six regional titles, reaching the state playoffs in 1981, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1998, and 2015. The Pirates won the SOC title against the Valley Indians for their 30th SOC title, on October 23, 2015.
