Wheelersburg 45 Portsmouth 0

First time in a LONG time this game has the potential to be a good one. Both teams coming in 2-0.


Could be a big computer points game for whoever wins. Last time both came in at 2-0 was 2007 and that was the last time Portsmouth won this matchup.


This game used to be THE game in Scioto County back in 70's and 80's but has really lost its luster. Should be a good crowd come Friday night!!!!


Good luck Pirates!!!!!

Did Burg and Portsmouth even play each other very much in the 70's and 80's.

4-5 times in 70's, maybe twice in the 80's 87-88 maybe

What was the score of that game

[tobehonest]

It's the toughest game for both teams by far in this young season. Portsmouth has the athletes to compete with anyone on their schedule. They've always had the athletes, it comes down to fundamentals and discipline. This years team so far, seems to have those ingredients together moreso than any other team I've seen them field in the last ten years.

Portsmouth football has been in a "decade of despair" but hey, it's been right at ten years since they've had a halfway decent team. The program just might be due, folks. It's been a long time. Again, talent has always been in the school. They finally have the right staff in place all the way down to middle school. Times are a changin.

[tobehonest]

Burg by 35

[LetsGoPSU]

Portsmouth played Wheelersburg in 80 and 81 as well....can anyone remember 35-0.....Ill never forget

Why is this funny? It's absolutely true, Portsmouth is by no means a state championship contender but they are on the verge of getting out of that dark whole they were in for some time. The only thing I disagree with is the 10 years since we have had a good team. Back in 09 Portsmouth went 7-3 I believe and missed playoffs by a point. That team was solid so they should be given credit, otherwise great post! So not really sure what's funny?

Your response is so intelligent, must've taken a few hours to figure that out.

[Jolly P(irate)]

I am excited to see this game. I think we will see a close game til the half. After that Burg will make all their adjustments and exploit the weaknesses they have found. That is one thing that sets The Burg coaching staff apart from the rest IMO.

I don't really see what's so hilarious either. I hope for the burgs sake that the Trojans get back to playing good football.

[TrojanXplosion]

I consider the 2009 Trojan team solid. However, that 68-14 Burg game at Portsmouth was a serious black eye.

[Bleeding Red]

If Portsmouth can force a couple turnovers they can make this a competitive game. If Burg doesn't give away the ball, they win by 21

[8332 Granite St]

The Burg program and burgfan.com has all time series record at Burg 24 wins and Ptown 11 wins. I see number 25 coming soon (like this Friday )
GO BURG!

[8332 Granite St]

Also Burg fans, Burg is on a 17 regular game winning streak let's keep the streak alive.

what was that?

[Dinnertyme69]

Gonna be a better game then those from the Burg think. Watching both teams the Trojans are way better on the line both sides of the ball. Burg is very fast though. Looking forward to a good game.
