2020 Wheelersburg 42 - 28 Minford

[wobycat]

I am the most optimistic fan of burg every year. I thought burg would have have faired better last year but I will admit burg last year wasn’t as good as I had hoped. Having said that, this burg team is much better than last years team at this point. Does that mean they may not be as good as I think? Sure but right now they look better.

Jackson and ironton just have really good teams right now. Every school ends up with them every now and then

The last 20 years

Burg
Ironton
Valley
Jackson
Oak hill
Waverly
Minford

All have had a season where they have had the chance or did win it all.

Cat that is Bice run down of solid programs. I know being a Scioto County faithful that Valley is at your 3rd but Valley is no Jackson. You had Jackson teams from 1995 on; Valley Isnt there. No don’t get me wrong. vally is a very nice football program. Beautiful stadium etc. but not as storied and tradition rich as the Ironmen.

Sorry. I wasn’t meaning to rank. Just a list of teams that have had teams come through that were state contenders

I'll take Burg in this one.

I know football games are won by Jimmies and Joes on the field and excellence in coaching on the sidelines, but Wheelersburg's 50 years of dominance of the SOC must give the Pirates a psychological edge over their league foes. BOHICA ?

I'm sure there is a student out there who would sell theirs for some extra cash. Apparently some students are able to get tickets but some are not. How that is even close to being fair or makes any sense is beyond me...

Well we are talking about Minford....so.........

As far as the game:

I think both teams will make a lot of mistakes due to being early season and limited reps to this point. Dont know much about Burg this year but if Minfords line can protect Lewis and not have him running for his life all night, it will be a very close game. Lewis and Risner are studs.

Minford's O line and Burgs D line- whoever wins that battle consistently wins the game.

Red I would like to think Minford is foaming at the mouth for this game. Last years games of any indication for this coming weeks game it’s going to be a good one !


Burg is good up front. I think who wins the LOS both sides of the balls And wins the Turnover game; wins the game.


Any chance this game is streamed ?

I think west may have beat the burg in 90 but after that I'm not sure burg lost an SOC game the rest of the 90's or maybe it was Coach Hall never lost an SOC game at burg

I believe in this strange season the SOC2 is going to be interesting. I have heard good things from the West Portsmouth faithful. I believe they got Waverly this week so things will get thinned out and exposed this week. Minford at Burg will be another show and tell game. 2 great games early in the campaign. I hope all the teams play up to their potential and leave it on the field. No injuries of course because with a short season a kid getting hurt could be gone for the rest of the year. Play like there is no tomorrow.

[The Nature Boy]

And yes I will take the Burg over Minford. The Burg has a sleeper team this year. A bunch of kids playing as a team and for the love of the game. Take them lightly and you might get beat. I guess that goes for any team.

[SpeedKillz]

Minford finishes against Burg this time.
