Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Game is this Sunday at 3:45.
Burg beat Lynchburg Clay last year 52-48 as the 11 seed and LB the 6th seed in the sectional semi-finals.
Burg was mediocre at best last year and has greatly improved this year. Anything different about Lynchburg? Do they have any size or are they a shooting team?
If they don't have any size Burg needs to pound it inside to Coleman and Lotspeich and let them control the paint. Holden and Davis running the guard spot hopefully can knock down some three's to open up the middle. If they three ball isn't falling they need to drive to the basket and either get the basket, assist or foul.
Good luck Pirates!! Looking forward to watching some b-ball on Sunday at the Convo.

Lynchburg has all facets, if enough turn up it could get ugly for Burg
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Yes, a lot has changed. You know the kid that didn't play vs Wheelersburg last year that averaged 25+ a game? Pierson is his last name. Well he's back.

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Looks like they put up a lot of points so look for Burg to try and slow it down.
Only common opponent was Waverly which Burg split with and LB beat by 13.

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Pierson, Goirdano, Mullins, McLaughlin...any or all could go 15+, add that to a deep bench putting up 4-8 each, if all are clicking, look out
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
I'm excited about this one ! I have not had the opportunity to see Lynchburg Clay this season ... it had nothing to do with NOT wanting to - it's all about location location location ... obvious they have had a great season ... I want to be able to see with my own bifocals what they bring to the table ... compare "their" game to the other top teams Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ... and even eat some crow for NOT having them in the Elite 8 at the end of the season ... as I said I'm looking forward to seeing them from the "NEW" Cheap Seats !!!

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Burg will for sure have to control the tempo and not let them get that many shots. If Burg tries to get in a run and gun game with them they will be in trouble.
IMO, Burg needs to pump the ball into Coleman and get Lotspeich to post up more down low. Coleman is a load under the basket and gets the majority of his shots from offensive rebounds.

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
... sounds like the team who can control the tempo so the game is played to fit the makeup of their team will have the advantage in this one ... LC uptempo vs Wheelersburg half court game to limit the LC "shots on goal" deliberate offense designed to shorten the game time wise ... we'll see which team can "git'r done" and play THEIR game ! - should be fun !

Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
I have not seen Lynchburg, but know they won their league and have a great record. I seen Burg play Portsmouth and they have some athletes and some size. Should be a good game?
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
LC definitely has an exciting brand of ball. Really fun to watch. If all cylinders are firing, watch out. Carson is using this week to get ready. Boys are going to be jacked. Convo will be rocking come Sunday afternoon!
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Pirates are athletic enough to get back in transition. If they can, they will come out on top.
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
I believe the length of Wheelersburg will bother LC on the offensive end. I would expect to see Wheelersburg extend the floor on defense. Not to speed them up but to slow down their fast break.
I think Wheelersburg will try to play keep away on the offensive end and force LC into a half court game. In my opinion the team that rebounds the ball the best will win and that should be Wheelersburg.

I agree as well.
Re: Wheelersburg vs. Lynchburg Clay
Slowing tempo is fine but you must be productive scoring on your possessions. Should be fun to watch.
