September 8, 2023 Wheelersburg 56 - 0 Northwest

[mattash]

Northwest keep it close?

[SPelf]

ok so we know that given the need, burg can power run the ball. i would imagine that with NW on the docket, you let the soph QB come out and get comfortable throwing some more, gain some confidence. 2 weeks to find an identity on offence before HP

I think that the Pirates will most certainly righten the ship this coming weekend.

Northwest has a good squad but burg should put this out of reach by quarter 2 and I could see Woodward testing out some new kids for varsity reps.

Northwest was able to build itself back up while it was down in SOC1 play, as they've gained the numbers the facilities and the wins. Now we'll see how the move back out plays out, going against Burg though you're looking at one of the top teams in SEO which is a tall task for anyone. Burg should have a running clock in this one their non-conference schedule has prepared them for SOC play that's for sure.

I talked to two Northwest fans heading into our playoff matchup last year that genuinely was convinced it was going to a be a game if not a northwest win. We won 49-6. We are 52-3 all time against them. The move to SOC 1 did nothing but prove bigger schools should beat smaller schools. The Mohawks get a great welcome back party this Friday. It will be over by the start of the 2nd quarter. Pirates big

52-3!!!

That has to be the most lopsided “rivalry” in Ohio high school football for two teams that have played over 50 times.

I use fourseasonsfootball for the historical stats and I can’t find any better win percentages for the teams that are listed. I would say if it’s not the most lopsided, it has to be near the top.

Half packed stadium, maybe

There’s only one higher in the state that I know of more than 50 games. Woodsfield/Monroe Central vs Frontier. Woodsfield/Monroe Central is 50-1 all time vs Frontier. It still might be a lower win percentage than that.
Oak Hill vs Green was 24-2
Jackson vs Oak Hill was 43-7-7
Ironton vs Waverly is 19-0
Wheelersburg vs Minford is 62-6

50-1 is the winner by 3+ percentage points. That’s brutal!

Good Luck Burg!!!

Burg 49-6

Interesting match up. A couple of questions get answered. 1.) Are the Pirates really down this year? (Most likely not) and 2.) For the Mohawks, has the move down to play in the SOC-1 for several years help them compete in the SOC-2 now? Questions answered Friday night.

I think we know the answers to both.

No.

The games I have seen on Northwest have shown that they will win some games this year, but they won't fare well against burg this year.

[Burg4]

Burg big at home. I can see Lattimore having a breakout game. Pirates right the ship. I’m going with 49-0.

Is beating Northwest "righting the ship" for Burg or stopping the bleeding? I'm just asking because there sure are alot of "superior coaching" & "superior culture" comments from you guys at burg for a northwest win to be considered righting the ship right AFTER you took L's from Ironton & Jackson. Last season any higher ranked team in ya region that was on ya schedule beat you. This season ya off to the exact same trend. Maybe beating Harvest Prep would be "righting the ship." Because this Friday ya just making sure you are avoiding disaster.
