Wheelersburg

[FaberGrad62]

Haven't seen any talk on here about the Burg. Anyone know what they are going to have? I know they lost McBee but who else do they have on the team?

[4thgoal]

They will have E. Miller (soph), D. Miller (soph), Massie (jr), and maybe Moore (jr) back from last year's team along with a couple of senior football players who I hear are returning to basketball this year. The remainder of the varsity roster will be more sophomores and maybe a freshman. Overall a very young team, but Coach Barrick will have a good group of quick athletes to work with, but not much size.

4thngoal..Do you or any Pirate poster have a copy of Wheelersburg's 2011-12 boys varsity basketball team. Would appreciate a copy. Thanks.

Here is the roster from the school website. As I mentioned, not much size, but a lot of speed and a great group of kids. I agree, Barrick will get the most out of this team and they may pull a couple upsets along the way.

Just wondering if anyone knows how the Pirates are shaping up this year? I know they're young , hope they can find shooter or two.

[callie11]

Has anyone seen anything of the Burg this early season? I know they are very young and not much size. I hope they can up with a shooter or two, they haven't any for awhile.

[callie11]

has anyone seen anything as how the Burg is doing so far ? I know they are young and small, I hope they can find a couple of shooters this year,

[Burg_Grad_77]

Good to see Alex Shears playing this season. I have heard that is a very good ballplayer. That should help them quite a bit. I look for Barrick to get 13 to 15 wins out of this group. He is a master at getting 110% out of his players.

[JayBruce]

For what Coach Barrick has done over the years he has to be the least appreciated coach in the area. I agree that he will still get 13-15 wins this year, especially with Shears now playing. When was the last time he played basketball?

I believe he played as a freshman?

[Lightle04]

I see a 10-12 win season for the burg the league is very competitive this year.

[callie11]

Has the Burg played any scrimmages this year?

[ManitouDan]

barrick wins 15 with this crew they should immediately send him to the HOF ......MD

[blacknblue]

The Burg scrimmaged Coal Grove and it was a good little game i was there and my opinion was that Coal Grove out played them and through 4 qtrs beat em by 6-8 points.

[blacknblue]

I was at the Burg vs Coal Grove scrimmage and Coal Grove outplayed them and won through 4 qtrs

[thejoker]

Burgs very young , but look for them to still b very
competitive. Good shooters

[rxburgfan]

barrick will have to really play "barrick ball". with no height they will really have to defend and limit posessions of the opponent. never underestimate barrick. his teams get better by the game.
