I’ve heard from several prominent burg people that is should be ready for round ballspider2Ybanana wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 11:46 am There was some news that Miller is unable to play any sports this year after sustaining that injury in football. Any validity to this?
Yes, although I have heard rumors of other seniors coming out, but only one returner._BlackBeard_ wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 8:13 amThis will be a junior led team I believe they only have one senior on the roster.
Isn't there 3 juniors playing football?

The other 2 juniors play football and may have some catching up to do. As well as the lone senior and freshman and the 3 sophomores. I think there will be a few juniors that will surprise some people with their playing time early. And then as we get farther into the season we will have to see what the rotation ends up being. But burg is very deep and very young this year
Yes sir. But I don’t believe Dyer is playing this year To my knowledge he wasn’t at tryouts. And I believe he is all in on baseball and weights for football next year_BlackBeard_ wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 12:04 pmIsn't there 3 juniors playing football?

Well said, Well said. I agree that the chemistry should be there for sure, especially since the starting lineup will be mostly if not all Juniors. Sucks that Burg lost the two Thompson's who always produce points..bigburgboy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 11:37 am After graduating one of, if not the most storied senior class that Burg has seen for not just basketball but in all of sports. I certainly believe that these players can keep "rowing the boat" and I would expect them competing for a District title when the time comes.
Having that large amount of juniors can only help this team, with having many of them expecting minutes this season, all but Truitt have been playing together since the 4th grade. The chemistry should be there for this team and with football being over a week earlier than it has been in many years that extra week will only help them if there are any holes that need to be filled before game 1.
Don't be surprised if you see 3 juniors 1 sophomore 1 freshman as the starting five by FebruaryPirateFan[69] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 8:29 amWell said, Well said.

Blitz, I also agree with that statement on the starting lineup by tourney time, definitely some underclassmen making some noise in pre-season.. I was just talking about the tight knit Jr. group, which should be important to the success of the team.Blitz wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:50 amDon't be surprised if you see 3 juniors 1 sophomore 1 freshman as the starting five by FebruaryPirateFan[69] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 8:29 amWell said, Well said.
