Ater’s first 3 years The Burg went to The Convo and made it to 1 Regional.

Last year was the first time The Burg didn’t advance through Sectionals under Coach Ater.

Basketball has become the 3rd most popular sport at Wheelersburg behind Football and Baseball. This happened before Barrick left.

Losing Salyers and his outside shooting will hurt this team.

I don’t agree that Wheelersburg is clearly the Second best team in the SOC.

Good luck to Coach Ater and the Pirates.

Not sure how much involvement he has. 8th grade is good and 7th grade is decent. Both play outstanding defense but need to work on jump shots. Missed wide open shots regularly over the first three games. Hopefully this will improve as season progresses. Still early.

But without question Wheelersburg is the 2nd most talented team in the SOC II.

Agree completely. I'm actually surprised that people (well, LucasDavenport) are actually debating their talent. Best player in the league (and probably SE Ohio), surrounded by athletes that win state titles in Football and Baseball (Dyer, Lowry, etc) -- mixed in with the best freshman in the SOC (Truitt). From an athletic standpoint Waverly is the only one that comes close to them --- with Oak Hill clearly in the lead. I thought maybe Minford would compare athletically but after they just got blasted by West I retracted that thought.

Should be a good year for Wheelersburg. After looking at the schedule above, it should be a 16-18 win season, and a very strong chance at a district championship as long as they avoid Oak Hill at the Convo.

With all these best players around, They shouldn't lose a game

They will, they’ll lose to Oak Hill twice.

But they do have the best player in SE Ohio (Holden, several D1 offers) and Truitt is the best freshman in the SOC. After that they don’t have great basketball players but very good athletes.

Don't think it'll be for long though as Bradford obviously still wants to coach and someone will hire him as head coach. Based on his success at East, I always thought he'd be a good fit at another SOC I school like Clay or Notre Dame if one of those jobs ever opened up.*
