this topic does make burg fans look bad. But I was just answering the question. I am not sour that Oak Hill won a state championship. I'm very happy for coach p and the soc. And I understand the annoyance of O.h. fans at burg fans comments, but the thread is kind of set up that way.

If he ran hard he would run it more than 4-5 times a game. Also, Burg needs him to play every snap on the other side of the ball. Some kids can run it 15 times a game and play every snap on the other side. Coach woodward must not think hes one of them. What a talent. Additionally, If craigmiles runs...

nobody did it all year because the talent level in the area was considerably down. And drrabit can probably provide some specific stats, but I would say Burg held teams to an average of around 45 points in 07 so they did gaurd people. As I stated in the first sentence of my post I have a lot of resp...

all i can say, lots and lots of athletes. Coach Woodward will have his work cut out for him finding a way to get all of them involved and bought in. Good problem for any coach to have. Depending on the rehab, and last I heard he was benching 285, ran a 4.6 40 and has a 30+ vert. thats post rehab, ty...

I have a great deal of respect for what Oak Hill did this year, and for Norm Pierson. The Burgs 07 team would demolish the Oakes. The talent level was just way too high in burg that year. Miller, Spradlin, Cowgill, and Salyers could all drop double figures and gaurd. Not to mention Jenkins, Cook, an...

In defense of coach Laffon.. when you play the kind of style that he wants to play, which involves an extreme amount of ball pressure, a lot of times full court, you have to play a lot of kids and substitute frequently. Even if you are in great shape, it is nearly impossible to play that style and p...

id put stegman defensively against anybody in either soc in the post in real games. burg may take a while this yr but theyll get it together.

Liberty Union will be going up against one of the best defensive coaching staffs in d5 in the state. Many burg fans will draw parallels to the Waverly game last year. Let me remind you that these are different athletes in the defensive backfield. Not saying they are worse, but may have different str...

Oh, I forgot to mention I think burg will go between 13-7 and 16-4. They are young and it will be rocky early, espescially offensively.

Lang deserves to be a captain. He is the heart and soul of the team on or off the court. Captains are named over the summer, and there is no way coach Barrick could have predicted an injury, obviously. That being said, they have a captain on the floor and Lang is the true leader of the team.

every player on last years team played at wheelersburg all through high school. Even more, all of them except Jenkins played together since 5th grade. There have been a couple of kids come in and play at Wheelersburg I know, but it isn't like there werent good players that lived in the burg. As far ...

The SOC runs through Tom Barrick and Wheelersburg High School. Like it or not. You want to win the conference, thats who you have to beat year in and year out. They will be just fine this year.

wheelersburg will be ok.. but dont underestimate this loss in the long run for the year.. this was their best all around football player imo

This should be a 14 point game logically.. Nobody knows a whole lot about SP though it seems and i dont either so it is a little hard to say. And i was at the piketon burg scrimage and burg is way way faster.. idk about waverly, but if you give up over 50 points to piketon then you have work to do. ...

lowly wheelersburg managed to crawl to the mighty tigers knees and just trip them up again. O well.. hrmm at least it wasnt 40 this time sorry couldnt help it

Some of these posters from i town sound like pissed off seniors from last year who got the crap kicked out of them. I think burg fans who keep bringing up last year are just annoyed because irontons fans dont seem to resepect wheelersburg football, which we think we have earned. jmo. This game will ...

The Itwon greenup scrimage last year was horrible too

I went up to the scrimage for a bit friday night. The defense looked good, white played well at lb, and I thought that lang looked good playing defense. The secondary just needs to be coached more, that takes time and is a lot about scouting. The offense did look pretty lack luster, but defense come...

thnx for the tip.. im sure coach woodward didnt realize Ironton likes to run the ball.. maybe the coaching staff can look at some tape for last year..

I thought it was a pretty good observation myself reip. And id say if they were state track meet caliber runners they would probably be running.
