Everything is a foul with our comeback 6/6 ft for Burg
Sounds like that Portsmouth crew.
Jenkins, McDavid, ? the announcer said on the radio ...
The refs are assigned in the SOC. Burg has no say in that. Anyone saying Jackson is the better team, we’ll its just not true. I will say burg without Holden probably loses this game but you can say that about most teams best player. Jackson a good ball team but not better than burg or the score would have reflected it.
@ Jackson maybe a different story. Wheelersburg is a very tough place to go into and get a win. Sheesh. Good win for burg. Jackson is a very good basketball team.
Incredible game. Jackson kept scrapping and Nevan Yates hit shots all game long and Caleb Wallis scored/dished and created turnovers to give Jackson a chance with a great last 10 minutes.
Jackson was down 17 and everyone on the court did their job and we started hitting the 2 point shots. Donaldson showed his greatness and ended with 20, Wallis just is amazing with his energy and game...had 16 I think. Yates hit big shots all game. Caden Donaldson was all effort and crashed boards big in the 4th.....the good karma kid??? That was 10th man, freshman Evan Spires. He came in and Jackson got things going. He rebounds, passed and defended. Such a tough 10 minutes from the late 3rd to end of regulation and Evan brought it and stayed solid in that crazy crazy environment.
Jackson missed a couple easy in air out backs and we had ball with 1 min and game tied. Burg defense was very good and we didn’t get a great shot but did get a tough 3 by Yates that missed. The last minutes...insane atmosphere, felt like a regional championship.
Jackson boys....you did it, you showed it on the road. Tough loss, now go win the FAC and make a big tourney run.
Best of luck to Burg...your team is outstanding, great home atmosphere and great student section.
Would love to see FG% for each. Seemed like Burg shot way better. Maybe not, maybe we outrebounded and forced more turnovers? Not sure.
Both teams came out strong then Burg built that double digit lead. Jackson was on the ropes but continued to play hard. Felt like Burg let up some when they should have put their foot on the gas. Great comeback by the Ironmen. The game ended up being as advertised. Good win by the Pirates.

So what was the final score?
70-64
Burg won. Jackson lost. For those who don’t want to admit it. Lol. It was a really good game. Point guard for Jackson was really good for his size and #10 went off behind the three point arc. #12 seems to be their legit basketball player. Holden scored 23 points. Led all scorers. He wasn’t that active either. He’s got to be a player of the year candidate
