Daniels installed a 4-team inter-squad pee-wee system and every kid got to play and learn the game. He was there along with varsity players helping to help coach the pee-wee coaches and installed the same offense and defense the HS ran. Now that he's gone, it went back to the 1-team playing for the Scioto Co Superbowl, and I bet Ruby isn't there on Saturday mornings nor the varsity players helping out when they can. Those years it was a 4-team intrasquad, that's when Minford was a tough as nails, having 70-kids come out for the HS team. We talked about this 20-yrs ago and thought we had it fixed, I guess not. This Sr. class went undefeated in all of their Jr high years, and now last place in the SOCII.
The 1-team format in pee-wee is a horrific model b/c way too many kids that are late bloomers, they get cut and then gain interest in soccer or focusing primarily on other sports later in the year. I thought Minford had that dumpster fire in the younger grades extinguished, but I guess not. The best thing that can happen for Minford is for Daniels to come outta retirement and get things back to the ways he had them running in the late 2000s. Minford can only hope.

Re: 2020 Valley 15 - 14 Minford
I know the facts way more than you'd have any idea on, never bashed a pee wee program. I said the Minford program has their priorities wrong, they're so focused on winning at a young age they lose players and knowledge as they get older. Their program is not ran to mesh with from top to bottom, the facts are there you just refuse to acknowledge. These kids have won in pee wee and junior high, so what's the problem in high school then??? It's yet to pan out with Ruby, so tell me how they've taken kids who have won all the way throughout and lose come high school?? Proof is in the numbers 2-4 This year bottom of SOC play, better team last year finished what 4th?Football101 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 8:42 pmYou do realize that the high school kids are “Daniels program” right??

Is there a possibility outside of Lewis and Risner that Daniels had better players? I mean just as recent as last year Minford pushed Burg to the limit and played well against them again this year.

The theory you're defending is in my belief 100% correct. In house peewee with numbers is without a doubt the way to go.Blitz wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:56 am you are correct about the outlaws BUT they also played in the 4 team burg league as well as all the other kids from burg. this is why Burg has they depth they have. 4 qbs 16 rbs 16 recievers 4-8 TE 20 lineman..... although i will say more "daddies" have rooted their way in to burgs lower levels and it is beginning to drive kids out... I hope this is not a trend
But to be clear, Wheelersburg isn't doing anything magical, they are benefitting greatly from movins at different levels upping the talent level and depth. Some came in grade school, some in middle school, and now Gregg in High School. And say what you want, they didn't come for education, they came to play sports.
Williams, Sanderlin, Ratliff (who didn't play this year) Gregg, Latimore, Latimore, and Masters who transferred to Ironton are examples. Except for Swords and Miller, those are probably the best players on the team. In fact I've heard more than one person laugh that when Wheelersburg subs at the end of games in all levels that those are actually the kids who live in Wheelersburg, and to an extent it's true.
Re: 2020 Valley 15 - 14 Minford
100% correct! Great post. Programs like W'burg and Ironton do benefit yearly from move-ins and transfers. If every team had 4 or 5 kids that can be immediately plugged into a system and excel, then why wouldn't they be good? Minford doesn't have that luxury, so they must start building numbers at the lower levels and it starts with an inhouse pee-wee league, so that you'll get kids interested and keep them interested in playing football.SWHITE2002 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 10:50 amThe theory you're defending is in my belief 100% correct.

Re: 2020 Valley 15 - 14 Minford
I agree 100% nothing magical at all. I am one of the very few who admit the huge impact movins have at Burg. I also agree with the boys you named except the Lattimores they were here in kindergarten left to Dayton and came back here. agree on the rest. The one thing Burg has that no other county team has is the commitment level at Burg.. both by parents and players.... Go by any of our facilities and year round they are packed with kids out working everyone else. You have to or you wont play due to the reasons stated above. The time commitment at Burg is ridiculous at timesSWHITE2002 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 10:50 amThe theory you're defending is in my belief 100% correct.

Re: 2020 Valley 15 - 14 Minford
Burg loses as many as they get also. The 2019 senior class lost 10 boys in 4 years. I agree with the post above as well, there is always a kid at any given burg facility at any given time getting work in. Nothing magical, just an uncommon amount of commitment by the kids and community, continuity and stability.

Re: 2020 Valley 15 - 14 Minford
You nailed it with the community. You look at the consistent programs across the state. They all have one common goal: for the program to be better. Marion Local, Coldwater, etc., have great communal support and culture. They don’t worry about the wins and losses. They worry more about doing the small things correct. Those two programs are exceptional, though. Another factor for the area is that a lot of kids aren’t being raised in a two parent home, then you factor in socioeconomic factors and drugs. In order to have a good program that’s consistent, it takes the entire community. Athletes come and go but the consistency does not. What separates Burg and Ironton from most of the programs in the area is the community supporting the team for a common goal. This is exactly why Wheelersburg has not had less than a .500 record in the regular season since 1964.packers80 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 5:12 pm Burg loses as many as they get also.

Coldwater and the rest of Mercer Co., also do not have pee-wee or Pop Warner Football. Jr. High is when they start playing football.
