Since the Jackson/Burg series was renewed in 2012, I have only been able to see one of the games in person. I'm looking forward to making the trip to southern Ohio this weekend to watch this game and, of course, eat at Fred's Pizza in Wheelersburg.

Jackson was kind of rebuilding in 2012 and 2013 after having a lot of success the previous couple years, and Burg really put the hammer down on them. The Ironmen put together a great performance the last time they traveled to Ed Miller Stadium, pitching the 27-0 shutout, but Burg returned the favor with a dominant 28-7 win last year in Jackson. I'm hoping that the Ironmen can put together their best effort of the season and hang with the Pirates, but it's gonna be a tough task.

Wheelersburg has been dominant all season, even though they did struggle with turnovers yesterday against NCH. Jackson, on the other hand, has been looking for an offensive identity, and they've also given up some big plays on the defensive side of the ball. It seems like Jackson was pretty dominant against West Jeff, but in their other three contests, they haven't really played four quarters of solid football. In order to beat Wheelersburg, they absolutely need FOUR great quarters of football. Can't turn the ball over, can't have blown assignments on defense, just can't make crucial mistakes.

It's my opinion that Jackson's best chance to beat Wheelersburg is to run the football. I know Coach Hall has been trying to utilize the passing game much more this year, but this week, I think relying heavily on the ground game would be a good idea. Jackson needs to play physical, run the ball, and try to control the clock. Getting into a shootout with the Pirates will not end well. Definitely looking forward to seeing what Coach Hall and his staff put together to try to neutralize an explosive Burg squad. Jackson could very well play a great game, and still lose, but I definitely think they'll be focused and give Burg their best shot.

The loss to Chillicothe has put Jackson in a do or die spot for the rest of the season. With a difficult game against Winton Woods looming, I feel like this is a MUST win game for Jackson. Most of their schedule is not performing as expected, so beating Burg or WW is really the only shot at major computer points. A possible 7-3 without a win against Burg or WW will most likely leave Jackson at home in Week 11, which is why this is VERY important. Gotta see a motivated, determined group of Ironmen playing with desperation on Friday night!

A past two years Week 13 and 14 Burg team against a past two years Week 12 and Week 13 Ironmen team.

Agree with Poo two area programs that are on a good roll and look to be good for next 3-4 years.

Holy crap. I have been sitting on the beach all day and finally come in to see 2 pages already. I am not happy I will be missing this game. You guys better be posting every second. Even the concession stand specials. This one is going to be a dawg fight. I do believe Burg will win. Based on the Defensive play and speed.

2 predictions...

1.) Predicting this game will be an Instant Classic...two very good teams playing hard-nosed football to the end at the friendly confines of Ed Miller Stadium, with Burg pulling out the win in the last quarter.

2.) Predicting the Radar Burger will be one of the best selling concession stand items.

GO BURG!

Favorite game of the year. Wishing both teams were 4-0 but things happen . Whoever loses this game usually gets better from it , the mark of good programs. Much mutual respect.

Enough said! Best game in the regular season in all of SE Ohio...and it seems, the last 2 years, this game has helped each team make deep(er) playoff runs

I think Jackson is more physical and will control the line of scrimmage on both sides which will mean the turnover battle will be huge. If burg takes care of the ball they win through the air but if they turn it over they could lose this one.

I think Burg will win convincingly. This game will show how good burg is. They were sloppy against north college hill, which was a very athletic team, and had a running clock until jv got scored on.

I believe Jackson has started to find their identity. Running the ball a bit more it seems.

Due to this, I have changed my running clock prediction, and will go with...

Wheelersburg 31
Jackson 14

I am pulling for the Ironmen and would love to see them pull-off the upset but It is going be an uphill battle. I just don't know that they can pull it off. Best of luck Ironmen, shock Southern Ohio!!!


And that's the bottom line, b/c Stone Cold said so....

I think it will be a good game Jackson will bring their best and Burg will be hyped playing on a Friday night at home. Burg came out flat last Saturday and I believe the coaches will use that as motivation and Burg comes out swinging the bat and makes Jackson have to pass to keep up. Will be a fun one to watch. Sound the Cannon.
btw wonder how much it cost to fire that thing twenty times a game? I don't care I love it lol.

It's my favorite sound on Friday night's! I remember it being louder when I was growing up not sure if it was or just my hearing getting older...or maybe all them years of cannon shots on a crisp autumn Friday night has damaged my ears lol I love the Cannon and back in the day they ran onto the field with the ambulance siren howling then the Cannon I always got goosebumps...lol

that athens team would not have blown out the 99 chillicothe team
it had 5 d1 college starters including a 3 year starter in the big ten.
several other guys on the team played college ball for 4 years
that chillicothe team beat the d1 state semifinalist 21-10
