Week 9 (8-0) Lucasville Valley @ (7-1) Wheelersburg

[1darkhorse]

I haven't seen the Burg play. How well do they match up with Valley's offense? I understand the Burg will score but do they have the athletes to go man against the spread? Spears can't be everywhere, can he? Would Valley be better off running or throwing? Give me some info, other than my johnson is bigger than yours!!

no, spears can't be everywhere but he will be the best player on the field friday night and he will have ten other YOUNG men with heart right behind him.

keller will be the second best player out there.

yakes is multi-talented but as they say "master of none".

I don't know that you have watched YATES play this year, but I can guarentee that come Friday night he will be the best player on the field. I agree that Keller will be the 2nd best. SHEARS has yet to do anything against a good team. This week will be the chance for this young man to prove himself.

I'd take Keller and Yates any day!! And I bet Valley will be playing with just as much heart!! They have a chance to win there 1st Gold football, a chance for a home playoff game, plus beat a team they havnt beat in 47 years!! What more motivation does a team need? Burg is very talented but they are young. Most of Valleys seniors are four year starters and are very confident in what they do. It's going to be a great game but I believe this is Valleys year

Whatever you say boss.

that's pretty condescending, don't you think??

it's like saying, well, you're an idiot but i'll just overlook you and pretend you won and go on.

[wink]

This week will be the chance for this young man to prove himself.

yeah, and he will have a fair shot at it too, won't he playing behind a bunch of young sophomores against a bunch of senior four year starters. it'll be comparable to valley playing northwests JV team size and experience wise. it won't be the same heart and fight wise though but he'll have a distinct disadvantage.

[wink]

Most of Valleys seniors are four year starters.

so, in 2007 most of valley's starters were FRESHMEN ?? get real, will you. credibility ?? i think not.

[DrillMaster]

I'll Chime in, I have seen both teams play twice Valley (Peake, West), Burg (Ptown, Minford). And Im not going to knock or down grade any 17/18 year old kid. But Valley will have the best athlete(s) on the field Friday. For those posts of Burg running a new offense or diff. scheme on offense thats just silly, Burg runs what they run because its what their skill set dictates.

Burg - a young team doesn't mean they are untalented, just young. with that said youth brings some disadvantages against a experienced team and players with matchups. Burg line is relatively small but fairly quick, no break away speed at the back position but backs run hard and fight for yardage. everything goes through the QB and he is threat to run. In the Minford game I was surprised that protection broke down quick off the ends but Minford had no push up the middle. QB runs out under the outside the pressure and would be in space. Burg has solid WR that catches about anything thrown his way. Valley must account for him every down. Burg is very disciplined, doesn't beat there selves

Valley - Seasoned team with a veteran line, QB, skill players, Line is good size and has agility, backs run hard, QB can make about any throw on field and can run for big yards at crucial points in the game. WR that has good hands and height advantage on majority of defenders. Valley has the ability to let teams hang around, niether Peake or West was as close as the score indicated but had a potential for 1 play and your tied heading to overtime. Valley must put 4 complete quarters together without mental mistakes and TO's

IMO Burg is going to have problems on both side of the ball against Valley, Burg can try to out scheme Valley Im just not sure if they have the personnel to pull it off this year.

Burg is a great program with an amazing history! But the arrogance of some of their fans is amazing. I guess that could play into the mental toughness of their teams but man it's really amazing! I feel great about the Indians after watching the Minford game on the Zone. And I'll make sure not to mention my wife. Go Valley!

Already preparing excuses for late Friday night?? Nobody is saying this is a David VS. Goliath matchup. Valley has the edge on talent but burg has the edge in history. Personally I think that Valley has a great shot of winning this game. But don't count the young men of wheelersburg out. Hope to see a great game friday night. Go Valley!!!

I don't think you're an idiot. I don't even know you. But, I doubt an idiot (at least not my definition of an idiot) would have picked up on my sarcasm. I spoke to you the way I felt you deserved. If you want to speak down to me in the manner someone might speak to a child that was out of line, then that is the way I will continue to respond to you. I'll show you the same respect you show me. You have paraded around this thread speaking condescending yourself at every turn and pass. All I've done is let it be known that I'd like to discuss the X's and O's of the game. Those that don't want to won't. I don't have any desire to control anyone and I respect what anyone wants to discuss. I didn't seek you out, you chose to initiate this. You can turn it around any way you'd like. That's your business. Likewise, I'll respond to your remarks any way I see fit. It's that whole freedom of speech thing. You know, the same right that gives anyone who wishes the opportunity to talk about anything in this thread they so choose? I don't know what you're getting out of this exchange between us, but I hope it's worth it to you.

So, like I said....apparently Burg doesnt rebuild, they RELOAD...so after the game, should Valley pull this unthinkable task...I dont wanna hear this were down stuff. Hope we can stay in the game...

Bo, I agree....ARROGANCE at its finest.

[wink]

Bo, I agree....ARROGANCE at its finest.

at least minford and burg get the opportunity to be arrogant on a regular basis and at valley your chance to be arrogant (and you are being... along with extremely cocky) just comes around about once in a generation.

see you on here again in about ten years.

[Bo_Diaz]

That's the response I would expect.

[coop]

Ah, I gotcha. I forgot Valley doesnt belong in this game, or even the SOC II, my fault.

Let me get the pattern of events correct:

First it was: Valley only goes 10-0, and etc due to the SOC 1, they need to move up...
Second it was: Valley is finally in the SOC 2, but they dont belong here, they cant compete
Third: Valley has a chance to win the SOC 2, but only because the other teams are down, they still arent good

Oh wait, the other teams PAST are what matters, I forgot...You mention Minford, but I dont know what they have done to be ARROGANT? Theyve beat Valley the last 4-5 years, ok? I'd almost bet they are at like .500 vs each other. Valley has beat West 3 straight times, yet you dont hear us running off at the mouth about it, because we respect them. You fail to mention that we have no problem beating them....just as they have no problem beating Burg and Minford. (West 40 Minford 0)

Who was the last team to play for a regional title in the SOC 2? Valley.

I love Minford, but did you just compare us to Wheelersburg???? We have had one outstanding team in our school history!!!!! 1985 was the only tram that we have ever had advance past the regional semifinals and you just compared us to Wheelersburg????? You are making yourself look stupid!!!! It was bad enough when you were arguing with someone like Jesco that doesn't bother people. You need to stop!!!!! Please!!!!!!

Most of Valleys seniors are four year starters.

so, in 2007 most of valley's starters were FRESHMEN ?? get real, will you. credibility ?? i think not.

Yates, Keller, crabtree, Hartley, Dwyer started special teams, High started special teams. And some others rotated in. So yes most of the seniors started their freshman year and a lot of them rotated in. I was a junior then and played with them so I know that most of them started, we had 4 seniors on that team and only 2 of them really played

good heavens. you must think everybody on here is a child. you think people can't see through the kind of ploy you are trying to build here?

makes for much better story telling years later when memories fade and you have your grandson sitting on your knee telling him of the indians exploits.... i can hear it now........

yes, son, i remember back in '11 when we pounded the mighty vaunted wheelersburg pirates right when they were invincible and in the height of their long and illustrious string of championships. although they were much bigger and older..... you see son, back in those days you could play til you were 23 and if i remember correctly every one of their players was at LEAST 23 and several had already been in the marines and come back home to finish school....... but i digress...anyway, we were just a bunch of rag tag youngins, mostly freshmen and sophomores, with absolutely no chance of winning and the whole county was betting against us but low and behold, miracle of miracles, those kids of ours came out there and scratched and clawed their way to victory over those mighty, vaunted wheelersburg pirates (most of which had been recruited from the catholic schools, mind you) but it is a day i remember as if it were yesterday and every bit of it happened just as i have told you.

yeah, some great story telling material there, yes sir.

let me tell you the honest truth...

if valley doesn't beat wheelersburg and beat them badly this year, you may as well hang it up and get a new coach (not that he is a bad one but he'd be perceived that way if, beyond anyone's wildest dream, he should lose... again) because......

this year.....

wheelersburg is way down and

valley is waaay up.

get used to it.


by the way, the last time valley beat burg, burg was 0-10 that year.... but i haven't heard anyone from valley mention that... (better story telling, you see.)

you fans should stop in and admire the gold football every day and if you win it for the next half dozen years you'll then be up on par with minford and win it for the next 27 years and you'll be up on par with burg.

enjoy.

Jesco I think he/she is to high maintenance good luck.......lol
