Wheelersburg Pirates 2012

The turf is green with Burg logos in the endzones-looks great, what are your thoughts of moving the Burg-Ironton game home opener to Saturday (this is being talked about right now).

I like the idea if its going to be a competitive game. I would hate to get embarrassed in front of the entire area while debuting the new stadium.

I agree. It would suck to get blown out the first game at the new stadium

Is it a "W" at midfield? I think Saturday would be great! Huge gate, split the pot and concessions! = $$$$$ for the school, boosters and band.

Cant wait to see it!!!! The field and stadium will be booming!!!! Saturday night opener would be excellent to start our winning streak!!! With our young freshman coming up this year to play with our young (VERY talented) football team, I think it will be a thing! Im sure this year, on our new turf, it will be a great game against a great ball club like the ironton fighting tigers. So, after we beat Ironton, in a close one, we will go on to beat everybody else in an undefeated year! GO PIRATES!

I'd rather see a HUGE Pirate head in the middle of the field. Would be more intimidating then just a "W"

This is what they need to put in the middle

Always a tough team, not doubt that will change next year.

Imagine the gate for a Sat opener. wow

[The D]

As sad as I am to see the grass go away, I am very excited to see the boys come out and play this year!
Saturday opener would for sure be an intense and exciting game!

I'm Pretty sure that Andrew Gifford is going to be playing as well. He got hurt sophmore year and will be coming back for his senior season.

I looked on the school website and he was listed as a RB/LB for 2010.

[Mad-Dogg]

this should be a interesting season. I can't wait to see our stadium finished

[then what]

I say we stop talking about the facilities and start talking about Football!

[Piratefan2]

Ive watched the team workout a few times and they look really strong! This BURG team will have another great year! IMO the SOC CHAMPIONSHIP will belong to the PIRATES this year! Watch and see :122249

Northwest QB enrolled at burg, lives in the district. starts lifting with the team next week. thoughts? strong kid, great arm

[eagles 89]

I look for this team to go about 7 - 3 or 6 - 4 this season.

I heard he had moved in. What grade will he be in this fall? I also heard there was a move-in from South Point as well.

I look for this team to go about 7 - 3 or 6 - 4 this season.

With the tough schedule, I think 7-3 would be a good finish and plenty of points to make the playoffs.

[eagles 89]

I agree, that would be a good season and should earn quite a few points

[Piratefan2]

You really think that Da Burg will only go 7-3? That was their record last year. They were very young and got beat by 3 teams loaded with seniors! I believe this year, those 3 teams will get beat IMO! The Pirates will probably have a challenge with Ironton and Jackson, but that's it.

[4thgoal]

I agree that the 3 teams who beat them last year were all senior loaded teams and they will likely beat all 3 of those teams this year. Until the first game and I see how the new QB plays, I will be hesitant to post anything saying they will be 10-0, but I hope they can do that! Ironton and West are always tough games. Jackson and Coal Grove will be new games which will be tough as well.
