Thoughts?
the burg played oak hill good the first meeting losing 57-50. i don't see the oaks losing 2 games but IMO i do believe the burg can take this one and split the season series.

Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg
Wheelersburg is playing better and is more talented than Oak Hill, more deep, and more athletic. All signs are pointing to a Burg win by 6-8 points. If Norm can pull this one out, it'll wrap up the SOC title and be arguably the best coaching job of his career.

Should be a great game. I'd give Burg the edge at home but again I wouldn't count out Norm or this team.

Been hearing this nonsense all season. They said the same thing about Waverly and Oak Hill is still 18-0. Anything can happen, but let me remind you the Oaks beat Burg at home in arguably the worst, most one siding officiating I have ever witnessed.

Burg wins.
Probably better for the Oaks to get one loss out of the way before the tournament.

This was one hell of a game. Absolutely one of the hardest fought games I've ever watched. Both teams will be a force to be reckoned with come tourney time

I didn't make it to the first matchup, but aside from #11, the Oaks really don't have another scoring threat. He is a heck of a good shooter, but I'm surprised they made it this far undefeated.

Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg
Great game!!
If Burg hits there free throws this game is not close. They had to miss at least 8.
Like was said above, OH had one scorer that kept them in the game but down the stretch he looked tired and it hurt them. He was on fire for 3 1/2 qtrs but needed to look for other shooters late in the game.
Cole Lowery has to be the MVP tonight. Had some incredible offensive rebounds that kept the ball in the Burg's hand and hit some big free throws down the stretch.

Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg
Really? Lmao , oak hill sucks now they only have one player?
Typical response from burg people , you don't say much about your win when you talk like this ,you don't win 14 or 15 games in a row and not be good no matter who you play, how. Many games has bug won lost to this point ,and if oak hill is so bad why they beat you all first time?
If they are as bad ad you think only one other explanation, they must have one hell of a coach! Maybe he has win a ton of games somewhere else????

From an unbiased perspective I think they were just highlighting that in the game your team only had one real true scorer who played well but had to distribute at the end when the game was on the line. It's ok not to be impressed with a team; they're 17 and 18 year old kids who are bound to have a bad night. Plus, Oak Hill plays a slower paced brand of ball so even when they win by 10 and dominate, the style itself can be unimpressive. Both teams have potential to do well in the tourney and Oak Hill is still in drivers seat for SOC crown. Good luck to both teams

What's the feeling on coach Ater now? I know a couple of weeks ago burg fans were wanting him fired , has that changed now? Or do they still want a new coach?
Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg
Great win by the Pirates! Coach Ater has his players really locking in right now as they have had some time to gel as a team. Some of the individual player performances of each game of late has been awesome from Newsome to Salyers to Lowery to Bivens to go along with Coleman and Holden. It just seems like different ones step up each game to compliment the big 2.EPN wrote:What's the feeling on coach Ater now?

What I found remarkable was on a night where maybe Coleman didn't score as much as he had been, that others just stepped right up and chipped in some points and Coleman did a lot of little things still quite well.
It's truly a credit to the players and this whole entire team that they didn't get wrapped up in the negativity of the community people complaining early on and they just turned their season right around.
Congrats Pirates! Job well done tonight!
Lastly, on Oak Hill, they are just solid and I mean that in the most complimentary fashion. To the casual fan, they won't jump out and impress you. But man are they steady and man do they take care of the basketball for the most part. Great team and any person who discredits them or the win Burg just had is CRAZY! You will have to beat them in the tournament as they are not going to beat themselves.
Re: 1/31: Oak Hill @ Wheelersburg
Nothing has changed. Still no SOC championships. This team shouldn't have lost a game. The kids are the main ones complaining about him.EPN wrote:What's the feeling on coach Ater now?
