Didn't the announcer say "That's probably the best thing that could happen to the Burg, they didn'nt score and they can kill some clock now". Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe not.

[Steely Dan]

Holy cow! That is all that I can say, other than great season for the Pirates!

[Bleeding Red]

I have never watched such a great final drive end up like that. Why didnt they just run the qb sneak??

The conservative play calling caught up with the Burg. I thought they were going to bury the Freddies the second half. I dont know why Burg didnt try to spread the field out to use their speed. They just kept running it up the gut from the wishbone.

Sounds like shades of last year's semifinal loss to Liberty Union.

GREAT SEASON PIRATES!

[LancerDad]

The unfortunate thing is, that young man had one heck of a year and is an absolute stud on the football field, yet he will dwell on this fumble. Great game played on both sides. Congrats to the Burg on a great season.

Burgs coach should not have a job next season! Horrible!!!

[ItownBrowns]

I'm in shock and I can only imagine how the Burg faithful feel. Tough loss for the Pirates. That last drive sure shows how much fortunes can turn in this game. Keep your heads boys, you played a great game.

Craigmiles was out the second half injured so the coach didn't have a whole lot of dimension...

Sounds like it was a fantastic game by two great teams. Too bad either had to lose.
Congratulations to WB on a great season. Good luck the rest of the way FT.

Absolutely! I agree with you 100% pappy.

Congrats to the Pirates on a great year, just too bad that things did not work out. Just goes to show you that FB, especially in the post season, is one play away..........

[NYBuckeye96]

Sounds like it was one heck of a game!!!!!!!!!

How was attendance? Were there enough seats?

[mglight88]

Congrats goes to the Wheelersburg Pirates on an great season. Looking forward to see next year what the Burg brings to the table known as the SOC.

I know....but after 3 series with no sucess you have to try to spread it back out. Shank and Lang arent slow.....

Anywho, good season Burg. Keep your heads up.

[TheMalteseFalcon]

I agree. Perhaps they could trade him for your coach.... who was more than likely watching basketball practice at your school this evening.

[biggdowgg]

sems to me Burgs coach called the right plays to put his team in position win the game....if they would have scored , we wouldnt be talking about the coach.

congrats to Burg on a great season.....

[Orange and Brown]

Burg got robbed on the goal line at the end!! I had a great view and that young man had the ball across the goal line before it came out!

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Did not think it would be this close but I did have the correct team winning.

[Bdog_198807]

I think he broke the plain. To bad highschool cant review. Boys you had a hell of a football season. Dont dwell on that fumble i think you scored and even if you didnt you hade a great season. Now go win us some basketball games boys show them what wheelersburg is all about. We may be down but were not out we have great tradition and great young men. Hold your head up and be proud to be PIRATES!!!!
