Round 3- #6. Wheelersburg (9-3) Vs # 2. Harvest Prep (12-0)

[vladimir]

Has Wheelersburg ever won a playoff game in Athens county?

1997? Nelsonville-York @ Nelsonville old HS field
2003-Shenandoah- Athens Stadium what is now Joe Burrow Stadium
2009-Fredericktown- Nelsonville Boston Stadium
2010-Fredericktown- Nelsonville Boston Stadium
2013-Columbus Bishop Hartley-Nelsonville Boston Stadium
2016-Coshocton- Athens Stadium

Nope, they’ve never won in Athens county.

I forgot about 2016 vs Coshocton game in Athens.

Well, there's no better time than right now to break the curse of Athens County.

I am taking Wheelersburg in a shocking upset. Weather will play a big roll in this game.

Looks like it’s going to be a cold one. 30 degree drop

[Pinwheel]

Harvest Prep is the higher seed, so I understand them getting the shorter drive.

Harvest Prep ---> Nelsonville-York = 50 minutes
Burg ----> NY= 1 hour 38 minutes


Harvest Prep ---> Waverly = 1 hour 12 minutes
Burg ---> Waverly = 38 minutes

Was Burg the higher ranked team last season when it was played at Waverly?

No Prep was Higher last year also

And not one complaint about driving further?

The 97 game was NOT in Nelsonville

Surprised with the fact this game was at Waverly last season that they just didn't play it their again. I've been to NY for a playoff game and honestly I just didn't care for the venue, I'm not sure if they've upgraded the seating or not but it seemed to go backwards away from the field more so than up. The concession area was a clustered mess, probably one of my least favorite venues I've been to for a playoff game. However, on to the game I just don't know that I can see Burg being able to generate enough offense to pull this one out. Preps defense is fairly tough but when Burg has faced upper tier teams this season the offense is non-existent. Ironton-Jackson-West they combined for 22 points and those 3 all have a defense comparable to what Prep is going to put out there, just unable to throw the ball well enough to sustain drives in this one. Prep by 14, after last season I think Burg can better prepare for what HP would like to do offensively and "might" be able to slow them down enough to keep it close.

So let me get this right you guys are surprised the lower seeded team didn’t get a home game again this year

Home game?? Isn't this the Wheelersburg and Harvest Prep game?? Also that's what you took from what all I said you literally focused on the venue dude we're talking about the game, I said what I said about the venue and moved on tot he game.

Coach Brian Baum and the Freddie's...he is at North Canton Hoover now doing a great job in the tough Federal League.

Vegas has Wheelersburg at -1000 odds of winning the cheering contest on Saturday, and -5000 of winning the “other meaningless trivialities” showdown to be played after the game.
