Burg 0-0 @ 3-0 oakhill

[4thgoal]

76-57. Not many teams will keep Burg under 70 this year

[SOC94]

Hats off to burg. Helluva team. Would like to know the teams field goal percentage for the game. Oak hill got in a hole early and don’t have the shooting to get themselves out of it. Hammond with 32 and Darby 20 for oak hill.

So 52 of the 57 points were scored by 2 players??? That's a problem, you can beat the average teams and even decent ones on a good night but 2 guys will not carry you once you come up against teams like Burg.

[VetteMan]

Did not go to the game, but listened to a big part of it on the radio. Sounded as if the Burg was totally dominate for most of the game. If Burg is as good as it sounded from the guys doing the game on the radio, I doubt very much that anyone in the SOC-2 is going to beat them.

[noreply66]

Congrats to Burg on winning their first game played this season.

[Sportsman]

I took this game in just for the fact that my Tigers have Burg Saturday. OH dug a hole early and could not control tempo. May be the fastest Burg team they have had . Multiple scorers with Holden leading the way. OH will win a bunch of games just outmanned in this one. Best of luck to both teams.

Tried to tell ya'll that Wheelersburg is far and away the most talented team in the SOC II, but Waverly supporters tried to argue that they have just as legit of a shot at the SOC title as Burg does..... which they simply do not.

Wheelersburg has the best player in the league and the only D1 player in the league.... surrounded by MULTIPLE athletes who many have went to back to back state football tournaments. They're going to drastically out match each opponent in the league so it's upto a coaching staff to devise some type of plan to hopefully throw them off. I thought Norm was that coach, but I was wrong.

[Ukfanatic]

Well lets just give the burg the soc title and not make them play any games. Lets move on to tournaments again so Waverly can make their run to a district finals just like last year. Maybe burg will beat them by 20. But Waverly beat them at home last year and was up on them at wheelersburg when the Marquez kid went out with an injury. They have some kids who guarded Holden last year and did all right. By the way I believe Blevins could play division 1 and their might be a couple others who are getting looks.

Wheelersburg is good. Very Good.


But I hope to one day love something as much as a few of those Burg players love themselves. That is not the Wheelersburg that I grew up playing against. Constant jaw running and throwing up "signs" after making shots.

I hate to be the old man yelling at clouds, but seriously, just shut up and play.

Yeah, I have never seen other SOC team's kids show any emotion. They play with the upmost respect and sportsmanship.

It's only magnified 1000 percent because it's burg.

They are 16-18 year old kids. Who cares if they get emotional? Oak hill played a dirty game last night. I mean the Darby kid flat knocked Truitt kid straight in the nose, probably broke it and you don't think that kids aren't going to respond to that? Norm Persin about ate Ater's head off in the 3rd QTR. SMH.Yet at the end, both teams shook hands and it was over.

I agree that Burg is good this year, but Waverly is a team that athletically can match up with. They will give Burg a game and could easily beat them.

[sticks]

i will be shocked if Burg doesn't win this game. If Oak Hill wins it will only be because of coaching

Agreed. Ater has had way too much talent the last 3 years and should have won the last 3 SOC's, he lost it for the them. Burg should go undefeated in regular season and should win the SOC this year, but he will probably blow it again.

As a life long burg fan i unfortunately have to agree with u. I'm all for kids having fun and showing emotion but wow these last couple years we've turned into something else. It was never like this with barrick not even close! From what i hear about Ater though it sounds like the kids are just a chip off the old block from their coach. Im glad we are winning dont get me wrong, but we're not an inner city team its time to cool it a bit with our cockiness.

we definitely should have won 2 of the 3 but i dont know about all 3. Ater has it served on a silver platter this year if he cant win a league title then he honestly needs to go. Good start for us last night against one of the main competitors in the league race

[mrwonderful]

Yeah the Burgs showboating is what turns everyone against them...Burg calls it swagger..I call it punking it up.....It's todays society...Coaches and parents think it's cute...They enable this behavior....They pick this up watching the college punks do it on TV and the announcers just love it...Coaches back in the day would pull them off the Court , smack em around, look em in eye say punk it up again you're off the team......I've watched the Holden kid since he came up...He can't dunk one or make a shot without starring someone down...It's actually comical sometimes watching these kids fall in love with themselves...…..

[BurgBaskets]

Even when they are up 20+, still talking smack, throwing up signs after making shots, staring down the opponents after shots, etc. I would suggest acting like they've been there before and keeping the college jerseys in the locker room during warm-ups, playing with respect and Burg pride as they will be rolling over teams. Stop drinking the Aterade and go and win with Pride! Probably best Burg team I have ever seen. Hope they improve their conduct.

[Burg4]

Burg easily defeated a 3-0 team last night. Should be a great year for basketball. I feel that this team has the potential to go very far this year, despite their head coach. I can definitely see a SOC championship this year. GO BURG!

Woby,

You have always been one of the more level headed posters on here but I guess you and I won't agree on this one.

I have seen teams everywhere play with tons of emotion. Last night wasn't that. It was kids constantly talking and showing up their opponents. That was not the Burg that I grew up playing against. There was no celebration with teammates. It was all "look at me". If you don't see it, you don't. But this has nothing to do with it being "magnified 1000 percent because it was Burg".

Case in point: 1 particular player wearing a Wright St. Shirt during Warmups. Is he playing for Wright State now? Or does he still play for Wheelersburg? (Look, I know, the rest know that he is a good player that is going to Wright State to play College Basketball But come on MAN!) I can't believe a coach, AD , Principal, or Super doesn't step in and tell this kid to wear "our" team colors. Society today is all about "ME" "ME" "ME!"
