And hopefully Burgs coach has his team ready and fired up to play this time because Ater got out coached by Meigs coach pretty bad and if it wasn't for Burg just having more talent than Meigs Burg would have lost. I mean seriously Burgs coach had a whole week to prepare for Meigs he knew what was coming but I am hoping he learned a lesson from last game and will be prepared for NA and good luck Burg can't wait to get to the convo and cheer on my Pirates!

You're 23-0 and it's the coach's job to get a team fired up for each game? I understand what you're saying but couldn't it just be they didn't shoot it well? Ater has been there before and won many district titles. I wasn't there and not saying what did/didn't happen but sometimes when teams don't hit shots there's always that cop out of getting "out coached" or not playing hard.
Agree poor shooting first qtr allowed Meigs to make a game of it. Further you go you’d better score all 4 qtrs

Rxburgfan you're exactly right. And difference in tournament basketball and regular season is the mindset of "well I've got tomorrow" in practice or what not to fix the problem. In the one and done a bad shooting night can lead to upsets left and right.

Maybe the scare in the sectional championship was just what the Burg needed? I’m taking Wheelersburg in this one with an impressive bounce back performance.

Heck yeah...Holden has a foul just getting on the bus to Athens. Isn’t that how it’s done?

Yes, I think they have two 6'3-6'4ish players in their starting lineup.

NA has a little bit of size and I really like the makeup of their team and style of play. But, I just don't see them having the horses to knock off Burg on Saturday.

They will try and turn over the Pirates before getting into the half court or at least force them into quick shots and they box out extremely well, but they also can't let Holden get the ball in position where it will be easy to score. I'm guessing that they'll be pretty physical with him, but I still believe that he'll be able to get whatever he wants.

I'll take Wheelersburg by 21.

Thanks! I think Wheelersburg can really be bothered in two ways. Extremely athletic guard play, and a dominant low post presence. I don't think anyone on Burgs schedule has had either of these elements that can really take over a game. Hopefully they can find their rhythm at the Convo and keep this great run going!

If Burg beats NA this weekend, let's hope they play Valley instead of Alexander, as they have a 6'10 post player

Good luck to the Pirates on Saturday. I've been as guilty as anyone looking ahead to a Harvest Prep/Burg matchup, but gotta take it one game at a time in the tourney. If Burg can keep the pace up-tempo, they should get the win here.*

We are all guilty of that. To be completely honest, the matchup I'm looking forward to is Wheelersburg and Meadowbrook if both were to reach the Regional Semi's.

People are really sleeping on Meadowbrook. They went to State in Division 2 last year and only graduated one starter, albeit a solid guard.

They've won 8 in a row, and 13 of the last 14. Of those wins they recently beat New Philadelphia, a loaded team who is the #1 seed in the D2 East district and hands down the favorite to reach the Regionals out of that D2 bracket.

They are big, physical, and have plenty of athletes they could throw at Holden. Their big kids would be a very difficult matchup for Burg. They play an absolutely brutal schedule and are really playing well at the right time. I think they'll beat Garaway if they meet in the District Final.




Of course, none of that matters. Only team that matters for Burg is North Adams but it's fun to think about.

He is 6'9 and from what I hear he is a good shot blocker but not very athletic and Burg needs to make a statement Saturday against NA

Not a battle what so ever, with every player in the starting 5 for Wheelersburg having extreme talent, and star power coming off the bench with players such as Matthew Miller, North Adams has no shot at rallying past the Burg. Once the shots start to fall, the Pirates are an unstoppable force from all parts of the court.
