B-U-R-G BURG BURG BURG

[Legacy_11]

The SOC is going to be tough this year. But i believe that it will be a tight race between Burg, waverly, and west. All are returning starters, and losing some. So i think it is up for grabs, but Good Luck to the Pirates!

Not West this yr. Too many problem kids to make this team jell. As for those sophs as juniors this year for burg, BEST group to come along in a long time. Hardest hitters, do what the coaches ask, believe in the system and have all the fundamentals. Their frosh yr as an example. Best blocking group in a long time. Cudos R. Gill! Senior numbers are down for Burg this yr. Could be a problem. White must step up as a leader and a brute for the juniors and sophs. No Frosh on this team!! He is a brute and will prove it!! Speed?? Shankwieler no speed?? And his little brother! Stegman is 6-5 and has been catching footballs all through grade school etc.. Potent!! Craigmiles is a monster on defense and can actually run the ball. Many of you remember him as a tb in his frosh year. Burg lacking talent is a no no on this post!! Better than ever. Coaching, dont look for much of a change. Run run run this year though. Lang doesnt have the arm Spradlin had. But its one year removed. I could be wrong........ Time will tell! LOL!

I see all teams getting better this yr. Danials from Minford is one heck of a coach and Tripplett will not be a slouch! Very competitive and Waverly is the one that scares me though. Bigger school and good atheletes every yr. I think they will be a force especially when they play Burg at home. This game has gone back and forth for the last several yrs. Waverly is always a thorn in the side of Burg as was west in early 2000 and in the 80s. We will see. Cant wait till 2 a days to see what is going on. More posts specific then.

Well, well, the expert has spoken.!..don't worry folks, it has already been decided on here by demaniac...heck, he even knows what each grade of kid from other schools is going eat for breakfast tomorrow! Stay tuned for an analysis of each schools water boys.

First off... the incoming senior class for Burg is really not that small. Let's not write them off so soon. They were about 7 or 8 last season and I know of 2-3 that are coming back out this season that could make an impact. That makes a senior group of 9-10 players. Not that small IMO.

White, Schankwiler and Hopper will have to step up as leaders as they are the ones with the most varsity experience coming into the season. With Robertson and Brogden returning, adding to Frowine, CJ Adkins, Leach, Hacker, etc. they should be pretty solid on the OL as well. Also, plenty of strength and speed in the backfield. Schankwiler is a brute and has decent speed and quick feet. He will run over people this season (did it last year). Craigmiles is fast and has size and could prove to be a big difference in this ball club. Although smaller than the other two, Walker is a solid runner, a tough kid and will provide another solid RB. White is a brute at FB and given the ball can be a huge benefit in short yardage situations. Lang is a solid running QB that will have to improve his passing somewhat, as in todays HS football you must be able to throw the football as well. Burg has the receivers that can catch out of the backfield and returning in TE/WR Hopper and Kemper working in as well, so this should be an added threat if Lang improves in this area.

I look for Burg to be about 65-70% run and 30-35% pass this season.

Burg will challenge for another SOC crown but the league should be very competitive with Waverly, West, Minford and Valley all returning talent.

[guard52]

yes valley has talent and shouldnt be over looked this yr. valley has a group of running backs and receivers that resemble the group from their play-off run. they have a tailback tyler evans (sr 5'11'' 180) lined up behind fullback aaron howard (sr 6' 200). the qb zach utley is a returning jr who started a couple game for the indians last season. the recievers of john webb zach bukiewicz and eli garrett are flat out fast and have good hands. also their line is huge the smallest lineman is 6 foot 215 llbs, they have a set of 300 pounder at the tackles and they can move, with the lg of j taylor at 6'3'' 240 and center bo crabtree 6'3'' 235 valley should be able to move the ball on the ground or thru the air.

Valleys line might be big but it doens't mean they're good. Can they actually play? I've never heard of any of these kids.

[The Program]

Same here sounds like guard52 is either a player or is close to one of the players cause from what i have seen and heard valley will struggle next year. Other than Utley I havent ever heard of any of these kids

I know Bo and he may be just below 6'3'' but he is not 235lbs. He is at most 210lbs, and thats pushin it....unless he is pure muscle, muscle that didnt help much against the BURG or anyone else, he does not weigh 235

Valley is a couple years away from being back in the race.

I am not a Valley fan...actually far from it, but you can't dismiss a kid because someone has never heard their name before. Minford has some kids many have not heard of that will make some noise this year and I expect Valley will as well. Can Valley consistently compete/win in SOC II, no not right now.

Black, Valley is being feed steak and eggs, Pwest is feeding them Siders corn all day. Minford is into soy and milk!! Northwest is looking for a cook. Waverly is cooking up steak and eggs (over easy) with hash browns and sausage! I believe they are ordering from the american resturaunt in New Boston to tell the truth! Burg is eating steak and eggs, bacon, and 2 rounds of hash browns. I dont know who is cooking it, but it seems real good!! May be McDonalds.

[seasick80]

Good luck to Tyler Evans and the rest of the Indians. I know Tylers Mom, and his DAD was a stud at West. Tyler is a good kid that is ready to play his senior season at Valley. Good luck, run hard, hit like a rock!! ABond says HELLO!!
