Fairland(6) @ (37)Wheelersburg

[seasick80]

West was supposed to be a lot better this yr. 2 point victory for west over fairland friday. Week 1 jitters or fairland playing some football?? I listened to minford game on radio so not sure why west let this game stay close. Or west is overrated?

West has a good solid team. Fairland has 4 skill guys who can play for anyone. Their line isn't real good and their rush defense is soft.

Thanks

Holden looked like a D1 receiver against IRONTON. I understand the mismatch he creates with his size and speed. Does anyone have skilled defensive backs and corners that can cover him? I don't see it until deep in playoffs

Credit to Fairland for playing a rough schedule. But Wheelersburg by as much as they want. Starters should get some rest again.

So this one could get moved to Saturday. Very possible, according to my sources!

I am hearing the same thing. Looks like the hourly forecast shows some of the worst wind/storms/lightning around game time. Oh well, some people will go to River Days Pageant and some will go watch The Burg!

Wheelersburg big if they come out mentally ready to play after the big win over Ironton.

I hope so. Friday is going to be nasty!

I've seen talk in another thread, but I starting to agree that Holden has more long-term upside as a D1 football player as opposed to basketball. Maybe Urban Meyer takes notice if/when he lights up Bishop Watterson in a few weeks?!*

it would be for the best to move the game but i don't see it happening

If burg moves the game to Saturday it takes a day of practice away for next weak Heath is a lot tougher team then fairland field conditions won't be an issue tonight at ed Miller stadium

[Da_Burg]

Calling for rain on Sat. as well 70%. I think they will just play and get this one over with tonight and move on to next week.

Wayne has fallen on hard times of late. Players from Wayne co. now go to Spring Valley.

Preach it ,brother!!

I'd like to see us pick up wayne, huntington, or blazer

We already picked up Hartley in Fairlands place.

This is a big pick up and a big preparation game for the playoffs. Can’t do anything about the weak league, but keep the non-conf games strong.
I love it!

Any word on the condition of the injured dragon player
