Ya, it figures Burg would complain about the refs, even in a 23 point win.

69-46 final.

Holden and Truitt saw very limited minutes tonight because of foul trouble and the Burg got a huge win. Mullins and Trent Salyers were on fire tonight and combined for 37 points, 21 and 16 respectively. Holden had 14. Everyone else stepped up their game as well. Great win tonight.

The funny thing is I listened to 100.9 and your own announcers were talking about the foul descrepencies and the ones not called on Waverly and especially with Holden.

Burg is overrated and it will show

Stick to what you know because it ain't hoops. If burg is overrated think about how bad Waverly is overrated after this game.

So...did this game show how "overrated" Burg is? Good win for the Pirates with a lot of guys stepping up when key players were sitting with foul trouble. Waverly could not handle the tempo Wheelersburg plays at and it showed.

[packers80]

South Point, Oak Hill, Portsmouth all kept it pretty close.

Waverly playing really well. No way are they a top 5 division 3 team

Waverly will win this at Waverly.

Those teams kept it close, Waverly didn't tonite. Who is improving and who isnt as the season goes on?

Watch the video. I wasn’t at the game but listening to burgfan m, which they are much more unbiased during basketball, it sounded like a poorly officiated game in favor of the Tigers. In the video you can clearly see 3 fouls which weren’t call on Waverly. 2 the guy was all over Holden and then the other was with the Waverly defender jumped on McCorkel and a no call.

Ya, because it would have been a 33 point win with decent officiating.

The Burg rolled tonite. I hope the Tigers can be on their game against Oak Hill as Norm will have boys ready.Its always good to get a good win for the Tigers going into the tournament.

Jackson moved the Athens game I’d like to see a scratch and rematch with the burg up on the hill. Got a young man going for 1000 pts at home Sunday vs. MT. Who else wants to see this rematch?

I’m impressed with the depth Burg showed tonight. As far as the calls, Waverly is a tough team to officiate. They’re pressing the line physically at all times. But, they have a lot of quickness and athleticism that makes it difficult for officials to be consistent. As we all know, the SOC assigns the crews. I hope the Pirates make a deep run. Good luck. I thought the JV game showed that we have some battles to come on the hardwood for a few years.

[Ironman92]

I still enjoyed the game even though it was a pretty good mismatch. Waverly seems to have no answer other than Marquez driving with his good body control and drawing fouls or finishing.

Mullins...he’s the one Burg player I definitely wouldn’t lose on the perimeter. He’s a basketball player. Love his game. Salyers was real good again tonight. Very smooth and in control. Very smart player. Truitt never got into the flow due to fouls but also wasn’t needed to. Holden...I bet he can’t wait to just go play in college.

McCorkle did a nice job off the bench for Burg.

If Holden and Truitt can avoid foul trouble and Salyers/Mullins keep hitting from the perimeter...they can get to state. 4 really good players...one is always the best player. But you gotta have a lot of discipline to avoid foul trouble and there are so many moments during a game it can happen.

[Kicker.]

Depth from burg was terrific even with big players getting into foul trouble early. Not sure what to think of this Waverly team either, the pieces are there hopefully they can execute close to tournament play and can make a run similar to last year
