Re: Post Saturday's (5-21) scores

I have nothing but repsect for Farmer's athletic ability. Some people on here want to twist words and try to manufacture something out of nothing. I have removed my comments because I dont want anyone to think I am taking a shot at a kid. That was not my intent.

Re: D5 R19 #6 Ridgewood @ #3 Wheelersburg

No self respecting Wheelersburg fan is expecting anything other than a battle from Ridgewood. Wheelersburg will have to play their A game to win.

Re: Week 9: Wheelersburg (6-2) SOC (3-0) @ Valley (8-0) SOC

Irony? Not so fast.....I happen to have enough respect for Valley to think that they don't need bulletin board material to beat Wheelersburg. My point was that this is a very very good Valley football team. They should not need to scour internet message boards for a reason to get motivated to play W...

Re: Week 9: Wheelersburg (6-2) SOC (3-0) @ Valley (8-0) SOC

Sounds like to me Valley should go ahead and forfeit this week and start preparing for week 10. I think it is hilarious that people are trying to play the "Valley is getting no respect card." Valley is 8-0 and not one Wheelersburg person has gotten on here this week and said anything othe...

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Westfall

Great place to play or watch a game! Plenty of good seats in the bleachers or along the first baseline in the grass with your chairs/blankets!

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Piketon

The whole batting practice comment was probably meant to imply that this Wheelersburg team is very focused right now. The entire team showed up on an off day to take some BP. This group has been very successful in their four years and they know what it takes to get it done in the tournament. I have ...

Re: Who has your teams home runs?

There is a lot of talk about the dimensions of the Wheelersburg field and it being a hitters park. I never hear anyone talking about how rough it must be for their pitchers to have to pitch half of their games there every year. If the park is such an advantage to their hitters, wouldnt it be the opp...

Re: minford upsets burg

Good win for Minford! This should serve as a pretty loud wake-up call to the Pirates. If they hope to have any real playoff success, they have to tighten up the loose ends in the field and be more disciplined in their approaches at the plate.

Re: Wheelersburg vs Waverly 5-26-09 SOC2 Title game

Wheelersburg's #2 threw < 40 pitches, more or less a regular bull pen 2-3 days before his next action. That whole argument is silly anyways. Didnt Waverly give their #1, #2, and #3 some time on the mound in the game? Both teams used it as an opportunity to get some extended bullpen work for their ro...

Re: SOC 2 awards

First and foremost, this game was scheduled originally for April 6 (42 days ago). Shame on AD's from both schools for it not being made up yet. But that is water under the bridge (literally) and we must move on. Second, I dont buy the whole argument that playing this game in between tournament games...

I have a hypothetical situation for you guys. Imagine you're a coach. You have 15 JV uniforms. You have 15 kids come outf for the team, 12 kids who you think have the potential to contribute to your Varsity program some day and 3 who you have serious doubts if they can even compete at the JV level w...

Re: Wheelersburg, Portsmouth, Zane Trace Tri-Match 4/12/08

Or maybe with rain outs and such, that is just where the rotation fell?

I doubt that Wheelersburg would have wanted Russell to go 7-10 days between outings. Also, if he threw on Saturday, they could bring him back tonight against Minford for a league game.

I could be wrong..
