Wheelersburg vs. Peebles - District Final

[THE_MOOSE_IS_LOOSE]

Will play Saturday night, 7 pm at Jackson High School... Thoughts??? I dont know much about this Peebles team or their program but it looks like a favorable matchup for the pirates... :122249

Peebles have improved throughout the season. They are a very different team than who scrimmaged the Pirates in the preseason. Anything can happen at the district level and usually does.

This I believe would be the first ever appearance for Peebles in district play

Very true. The Indians have already exceeded all expectations from the beginning of the year and this team just flat out wants to win, an upset is not out of the realm of possibility.

And yes Keegan, the Lynchburg-Clay game was the first Peebles had ever had in district play.

should be fun to watch. good win for peebles over lc. jackson a great facility for game. what will this halloween night bring? tricks or treats? if i am not mistaken i believe that the stadium is built atop an old indian burial ground. should make for good fun.

I asked my magic eight ball 42 times, each time it came up Burg.

Forecast for Saturday is mostly sunny with a high of 64 and low of 38. Should be a perfect day in a great stadium. Halloween weekend against the Indians on an indian burial ground....

The article that drrabbit posted said that Lynchburg Clay sat out some key players for unspecified reasons in the Peebles District Semi game. That had to factor into the fact that Peebles advanced.

Therefore, I would think the Burg will get through this one.

I would also think that if the game is played on an old Indian Burial Ground it would favor the team NOT using Indians as their nickname........ in this politically correct world anyway!

Good Luck to the SOC team and hopefully we will see an all-SOC Regional Semifinal (not played in Philo!)

pirates 9
peebles 0

I plan on being in attendence for this one. The Indian burial ground turns out to be the deciding factor for the Indians in this game...

Peebles 3
Wheelersburg 2

With Jacob "Beckham" Denzik scoring two goals :122245

[GaryGroundhawg]

In no doubt the best game of the day. I take the Pirates in a 4-3 nail biter. Peebles already took it to Webster earlier this year in preseason.

[Chieftan]

Peebles - 2
Burg - 0

Half-time

Go Indians!!!

[Concessionlady]

Keep us posted. Was hoping someone would. Thank You.

[socfan]

Just got a report from someone at the game...Wheelersburg now leads 4-2...around 20 minutes into the second half

[4thgoal]

5-2 Final!!

DISTRICT CHAMPIONS!!

Congrats Pirates! Good Luck vs. Berlin Hiland!

[TribeManiac10]

Even though the Indians lost I was glad to be in attendance for this one. They played a nearly flawless first half but just couldnt keep up the pace as Dillan Lewis(I think he had all 5 second half goals) from the Burg took nearly all the momentum. I was skeptical of him coming into the game but this kid can flat out play. Anyone care to post where he might be headed to college?

lol P.S. I do take some consolation in at least picking the right amount of Jacob Denzik goals.

[4thgoal]

Lewis had 4 goals and Hughes had 1. Great first half by Peebles, but they just seemed to come out flat and tired in the 2nd half. Peebles did have one of the best fan sections I have seen in southern Ohio soccer. Nice to see a young program with great support.

[rxburgfan]

great fans from peebles. really good following. well coached team. just couldn't get into the second half.

Congrats to the Pirates on the District Championship and good luck against Berlin Highland. Highland has to be pretty good since they took out an undefeated Webster team.

Dillon Lewis just might be able to play football somewhere as well with his kicking abilities. His KO's are routinely inside the 10 yard line and he puts a few in the EZ. He also rarely misses any XP's and has good range on FG's too. But I'm sure soccer will be his first choice.
