Touchdown Burg Carmichael again!!!! Go Burg

[Burgball#1]

Burg exposed like I said earlier in the year... weaker than normal southeast football teams and when they play a team up north they get owned!!! Burg fans talking about running clocks...Yeah it might be a running the other way

35-16 burg - running our way

Wheelersburg is slow. Looks like just another pedestrian southern ohio team that folds like a lawn chair as soon as they see a talented team outside lawrence/scioto counties.

Hey Carlito .. your internet connection ok ? ours is working down south

Burg up 35-16. 8:36 to go. Hats off to coaching staff and halftime adjustments. Went to power running game.

Great coaches give their kids the opportunity to win. That’s what Burg coaches have done. They have made tremendous adjustments and the kids answered the bell. This team is nasty. Rock and roll boys.

Congratulations Pirates, we'll be rooting for you next week.

Why don’t they let Reyes or however you spell his name score a td they call Carmichael’s number every time just wondering

Bigcarlito and donaldtrump are wiping away tears and eating some crow. Looks like they were the ones who got "exposed"!

Go Burg!

[BurgGrad6]

Go home haters. Burg made adjustments and played smash mouth football!!! Burg rolled!!

[hoot]

That was a hell of a game. Burg struggled mightily in first half. 3rd qtr looked like their 1989 offense and started rolling and 4th qtr Burg ran Ironton’s 1979 Robust T and hammered Academy. Props to the coaching staff to make the 180 degree change they needed. Must play better next week from start to end .. keep it going..

Decided to take in the 2nd half (I wasn't standing all night in that cold lol) and wow! Burg got the momentum rolling and just destroyed the Vikings. I would assume that they will need to play that way from the opening kick next week to advance, but that was really impressive

Academy banner said NO BIG WHEEL

Guess Burg was a big deal

Amazing game!

[Proud_Pirate63]

Way to never quit and finish it out boys!!!! Great win tonight. Keep on rolling. People kept saying that Burg hasn't played a 4 quarter game all year. Well they weathered all the obstacles tonight and turned it up 5 notches in the second half. CA didn't know what hit them!! Enjoy the victory tonight and get to work tomorrow. Congrats to CA on a great year and maybe we'll meet again.

As sbee said earlier, burg had to adjust to the speed. Buy it wasn’t their offensiv3 speed, it was their defensive speed we couldn’t adjust too! They ran over our pass protection and had good coverage on our receivers. Burg D kept us in the gam3 1st half. What’s the old saying “run at speed!” And that’s what burg did! Did CA get over 50yds in 2nd half? Bigcarlito and others keep saying burg looks slow. I agree that for whatever reason our receivers do not run fast routes. But our defense is nasty fast!! Give it to the coach that said this is what we gotta do on offense in 2nd half! He deserves a raise!! Nice job!! Man I’d hate to be the johnnies coach. Hopefully passing game can get back on track. And welcome back lightening!!!
