Week 11: #6 Fairland at #3 Wheelersburg

[ridgerunner]

Round 2 and it is going to be a good one folks. I hope I'm able to make this one.

It's not valley, so the burg may have a chance.

Hahaha your right!!!

Burg wins this one.

I am sure that both teams have improved as the season went along and both are better than they were in week 4. Fairland definately has a nice offense, but they play little defense. I look for this to be a high scoring game, but I think Burg will move on to week 12.

GO PIRATES!

I think this game will be a lot closer than some of the Burg homers think it will be, but unfortunately, I don't think our defense will be able to keep Burg out of the endzone for a couple of possession to let our offense get enough of a cushion and lead to pull off the upset. Burg by a TD or two.

I agree. I don't see this being a blowout, but a couple scores could be a reality. I think the Burg offense may change it up a little and try to establish more of a running game if they do get up by a couple scores in the first half. As others have mentioned, the full house backfield looks pretty good with Parsley, Miller and Stone.

Did ticket prices go up again this year? $7 presale and $9 at the gate

[playa_44]

Burg line is a little different than the first time they played each other, correct? The Dragons and Pirates have plenty of similarites. If Fairland has improved on defense, then this could be the best game of the week.

Good Luck Burg!!!

Since my Tigers are not playing , this will be the game to watch IMO. I've seen Burg but have not seen Fairland. One team they have in common is Coal Grove. And fairland came out better than burg on that matchup. I think it's less than 7 pts and a toss up. I'm sure the over/under is 75+ but I think it's gonna be a low scoring night. Expected to be 35-40 by games end. I'm not sure the teams passing game will be its normal self.

[Pocket Aces]

Turnovers will be the key in this one. Can't wait to watch it, go OVC!

Fairland 36
Burg 22

[Is What It IS]

This could come down to who has the ball last. Still think burg will pull it out

[BigBlueNation]

Didn't know I would cause all this trouble. I am not even from Scioto County! I live in Lawrence County.

And yet you ran your mouth on the Burg/West thread after the game last Friday complaining about how the Burg got a way with murder and were a bunch of thugs.

Things that make you go hmmm.

Ran their mouth on about all the west threads.

[local superstar]

So I cant support West football because I live in Lawrence County? I think I can.


I agree with what someone else said on here, this could potentially be the game of the week!

Why are you comparing common opponents when they played each other already?

Fairland wins this one! Fairland, with the help of players gone by such as Worm Leep and Mike Jackson, will help push to a 38-31 victory!!!!!! :122245

Why would you not expect the passing game to be "normal"? The weather for Saturday is calling for 59 and sunny, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Just my thoughts. I hope I'm wrong hope both teams throw for 400+ yards. But I have a feeling 60 at 1pm 40 by game time and 30's by halftime . Regardless I think it's less than 7 pts either way. Hope both teams play well and come out injury free.

Well. Im not talking about the game burg n fairland played cause there's no argument. Burg won. Common opponents CG being the only 1 I think. Fairland actually played them better at CG and CG at burg. So that's my only argument that fairland could have a shot. And of course to get fbnut involved
