Re: 2018 Defending State Champs Wheelersburg Pirates

I have a serious question for those who want to keep talking about the CB number for Wheelersburg.

Why do you think the number is so high? Why do you think kids/parents decide to come to Wheelersburg?

Re: Wheelersburg All time Leading Scorers

I believe Andrew Burleson is the boys high scorer.

Re: I HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION FOR WHEELERSBURG POSTERS.

1. They have high expectations for kids in all phases of life, not just on the field. This starts at home and in the class room before it ever materializes in competitive sports. 2. They hire really good coaches no matter where they have to go to get them. The football, baseball, basketball, and sof...

Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg

You have to look at a schedule and look at games you should win vs game you shouldn't win. Burg's schedule is a pretty easy schedule. If you look at the expectations at the beginning of the year they knew they were talented enough to win the league. But you would except a split with a team like oak...

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

In other sports, the home team is determined by who is on top of the bracket. The OHSAA baseball tournament works this way I believe.

Re: Playoffs D5R17 #4 Ridgewood vs. #1 Wheelersburg

It seems that many of my fellow Pirates have forgotten how to be confident without being cocky. I think the Pirates are a great team and if they play their best football they should win tomorrow; but I think it's at best arrogant and at worst disrespectful to be talking about a Coldwater match up th...

Re: Ironton v. Wheelersburg. Week 12

Yes he got a penalty. And when Wheelersburg fans got on here and said he and/or the coaches needed reprimanded for injuring the kid on the play and you responded with "it wasn't like he went for his ankles." Plain and simple, it was bush league and no reasonable adult should be defending it.

Re: Ironton v. Wheelersburg. Week 12

You guys want to reprimand the staff and players because somebody got hurt? That's taking it a little far. Its not like he targeted the kids ankle or anything. he hit him late and he got hurt. That happens in games. Please Mr. Officer, don't give me a DUI. I mean, yes I am drunk, and yes it's again...

Re: WEEK 5: JACKSON (4-0) at WHEELERSBURG (4-0)

Congrats Jackson! You were the better team. Period. Burg had some chances tonight to get on the scoreboard, but I doubt it would have made a difference. Jackson dominated the line of scrimmage all night and controlled the game. Burg needs to regroup and focus on going from a good team to a very good...

Re: SOC

The league has ALWAYS waited until the last team was out of the tournament before releasing post season awards. Nothing new there.

Re: Week 8: Minford (7-0, 2-0) @ Wheelersburg (6-1, 2-0)

Wheelersburg has a soft schedule. Minford has played powerhouses. Wheelersburg racks up stats on lesser opponents. Minford has a balanced attack. Wheelersburg is soft defensively. Minford smacks you in the mouth. The truth is that both of these teams are pretty good. They have been successful playin...

Re: All League, District & State?

I guess I started all of the bickering. I think as far as players go, the coaches get it right most of the time. It's definitely as much art as it science in weighing stats/competition/skill. What I still don't understand is how Coach Estep at Wheelersburg didn't get SOC or District COY?

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Green

Who cares about the tempo of the game? If it gives them the best chance to win, I am all for it. As for the senior class, six of them played a major role in helping a baseball team that was hit hard by graduation the previous year make it back to the State Tournament last year. I suspect that they a...
