Great win for the pirates! Good luck to Jackson the rest of the way!

Good game , Jackson's tough , Rob needs to clean up the penalties they can beat you, in a close game. Must have had 6 holding calls tonight.

[Ironman99]

We got beat by a very very good team on to week 6 go Ironmen.

[Abe Froman]

Good win for the Pirates.

Jackson not built to come from behind going up 14-0 was huge early in the 1st.

Think we got lucky on onside first play lol it may not have went 10 yds from my vantage. Doubt it makes difference overall. We played well in a hard hitting game.

Good luck to the Ironmen rest of way.

[callie15]

On side kick was a good call happened right of us.

Well outsiders perspective. Jackson WAY to many penalties, 3-4 holds, I think 6-7 false starts all at times when the drive was just beginning to set them back or after getting into Burg territory and facing a 2nd and short then jumped off sides. Jackson was able to run the ball with some efficiency tonight but penalties just kept getting in the way. Burg was able to pass against Jackson which was what I figured would have to happen they weren't able to lineup and just run the ball. QB for burg had a REALLY nice read that he pulled and went 70+ yards for the TD really turned it on after he got outside. Jackson really held burg in check 2nd half with Burg only putting up the 2 scores with 9 min. to go in the game and that was after a dropped fake punt pass, however very difficult catch as the Burg defender passed right through his line of site right at the last second causing the dropped pass. One though that really just deflated Jackson. Jackson is a solid team but I'll be honest if they make it to the playoffs they may get past 1 round with the right matchup not near the team they were last year. Burg sorry but your region will once again allow you to advance but from what I seen run defense is lacking and burg has to find a consistent running game, especially going up against the Coldwaters of the playoffs. Burg played with a lot of poise but offensively with the athletes they have the offense seemed to be pretty simple with those athletes on the edges I think you could get crazy. Need to tell those WRs to get inside the numbers, I seen the refs tell them 6-7 times to go inside the numbers then back out. Not every crew is going to do that.

[greygoose]

My only question on the onside was did the Jackson player touch it that's what I thought from my vantage point. Because it went about 9.5 yards otherwise. What a bounce on the next play Jackson players go to jump on the ball only to have it pop out right to the Wr #2 who took it to the house. Looked like #2 could FLY but didn't get a chance to see it. I thought overall it was a pretty well called game from a refs standpoint. Burg's movement up front kept causing Jackson lineman to pick up there hand after getting set. Hall was livid

[wobycat]

Officiating was, well inconsistent on both sides. The onside kick could have been illegal touching but it looked like the 1st burg player missed and the second kid touched it right at 10 yards.

Burg was just better, and I thought they could have played better. Jackson did a great job on the ground but was one dimensional as they struggled to pass. Burg adjusted in second half.

Burg had more penalty yards. I agree with the run defense for burg but burg made adjustments on second half that began to slow the rushing attack down. The fake punt should have been picked off by burg. He read it all the way. Officiating was inconsistent. Not well officiated at all.

[greygoose]

Yeah they slowed the rushing attack down but didn't much. Jackson's penalties stopped the run forced them to throw and Burg did a nice job of applying pressure. Officiating wasn't inconsistent. False starts are false starts, the holds on Jackson seen each right in the line on pass plays tackled kids getting through. I thought there was times where it looked like the officials were little confused on some plays especially guy on the Jackson sideline he had a lot of action his way. All in All though they handled their own. Of course burg had more penalty YARDS, they were hit with multiple 15 yard penalties. They had I think 2-5 yard facemask penalties other then that they were hit with 10 and 15 yard penalties on multiple occasions. What'd they have 3 or 4, 15 yarders. Adds up quicker then a false start but Jackson was turning 2nd and 4 into 2nd and 9 a bunch. Can't do that and keep with the run.

Well may as we'll get my 2 cents .
1. Burg is a better football team
2. Jackson played their guts out . With all the seniors they lost last season and 2 all state players from returning class , Jackson has worked their butts off and stayed relevant. They showed a lot of heart by not laying down .
3. The inside was legit . Great execution from burg.
4. This is exactly what wheelersburg needed . A team who would punch them in the mouth a little bit , test them a little bit, make the starters play 4 quarters. This game was closer than 38-13, 2 dropped tds or this could've been 24-21 in the 4th quarter
5. Officiating was typical high school officiating. Pretty even. I will say the 4 official stops to reset the game clock was very suspicious as Jackson was marching down the field . Hmmm
6. Great atmosphere and two programs who respect each other
7. Jacksons band was lights out.
8. Good luck to the burg moving forward .
9. See you in alumni stadium in 2017 !

It sounds like the Burg got lucky with their win tonight

[wobycat]

There were at least three to four holding calls that I saw that were not called. In fact the entire burg side saw it. You just described the officials as being confused and consistent in the same comment. Burg out rushed Jackson in this game and held them to 13 points. Pretty good against those backs, who I thought were tough.

Pretty spot on! Especially#7! Band was awesome

[greygoose]

Only way that fake punt is picked off is A if it's a line shot or B the defender is 6 inches taller. He read it because he was the return man and the pass floated 30-40 yards from where it was thrown from. He jumped and reached as far as that dude was reaching honestly if he's 3 inches taller he probably tips the ball up and makes the catch very easy for Jackson WR.

No they didn't get lucky at all the simply executed better then Jackson tonight.

[wobycat]

The play clock was messing up. Those guys aren't like that up there. Been doing it for years

Thought they missed a pass interference call in end zone at end of the half, not sure how you could have a man downfield on a snap immediately throw , not sure why they picked up the flag at the one jackson td.

Don't do this Cat. Was a great win for burg and Jackson gained a lot of respect tonight for their grit. There was some serious hitting out there

Lol. I disagree with this one.
