Re: Burg Freshman

Trying to make me out to be something I'm not Abe? Not cool. Holden's name was brought up in the very first topic. I didn't call him out, only made the observation that neither kid mentioned although great talents, were at D1 talent yet and I gave my opinion as to why. I've seen both shoot and they...

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

No bigger Burg fan than me, but we will have some work to do next year. Migrating this year's very talented freshman team into some varsity spots next year along with finding out about who will be best suited to run the offense and some other skill spots, will take a few games for all that to shake ...

Re: Burg Freshman

Why on God's green earth would you call out a kid by name and say he can't shoot or is not explosive. Probably a 15-year old that could have handed your lunch to you when you were in your prime...SMH. Let him grow into his body and start competing with better players and see what happens. Bunch of k...

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

You obviously watched no games besides the championship. Athens held a high scoring Granville team to 14 pts in the post season. (11-0) Tri Valley scored just 20 in the regional semi's against Athens. Columbus St. Francis DeSales was also held to 20. Defending state champ, ASVSM, who scored 50 on T...

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

Athens, from the TVC, was ready last year. Came within a play of winning it all. Thank Joe for that cause that's just about all they had. No D at all and that's why they lost. Not a complete team. With those standards Wheelersburg has no defense or offense. Here is some reality since your stuck in ...

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

Congrats on a greats season to the Pirates. Now you know what it takes, got to put all those things in place, and have the patience as a program to reap the results. Coldwater has built a machine and is completely rounded it seems in all facets of the game (O,D,ST's). Every kid executes every play, ...

Re: DIII State Semi-Final Zanesville vs. Akron Archbishop Hoban

The year of the underdog I do believe: Taking Zanesville by 10.

The public schools and their player's quality, work ethic, athleticism and off-season commitment is slowly catching up to the private schools in that regard. Least that is my story and I am sticking to it lol for this one.

Re: D5 State Semis! Final 4! Coldwater vs. Wheelersburg

I think some of the Coldwater fans that are saying they are not impressed with the line play, or make statements like they are pretty sure they know how this one turns out are in for a rude awakening. Some things you can't see on film that is just 170 or so back to back clips played one right after ...

Good to see that a CW fan found us and was nice enough to provide a good post.

Thank you, look forward to seeing this game in person.

Re: DIII State Semi-Final Zanesville vs. Akron Archbishop Hoban

Common opponents would be New Philadelphia. NP played Hoban in the playoffs and won, although it was not a blow-out. Zanesville played NP in regular season and that was their only loss in OT. Zanesville needs this Friday to be a cold, windy, miserable night. If Hoban forced to run it plays into Blu...

Re: DV 3 Region 9 Final Jackson Vs Zanesville

I hear what you are saying DP643, and agree with the off-season work, but at the end of the day it seems like you overachieved with 5'-10" 185 lb kids that were tough as nails. Agree the skill positions next year for the Ironmen seem to be in place with another stable of RB's returning and more...

Re: DIII State Semi-Final Zanesville vs. Akron Archbishop Hoban

Hoban's new facility will help them "recruit" prospects the same way it would at any other school, public or private. As far as the actual game goes, Zanesville has the talent and coaching to knock off Hoban. It will take a flawless effort and some good fortune but they aren't terribly ou...

Re: DV R17 Finals #2 Zane Trace v. #1 Wheelersburg

a 27-25 post season record in southeastern ohio is hardly bigtime football.. lol.. Could not disagree more. A .500 record (or better) in post season play means more times than not you get to Week 12 and have won more of those than lost. Ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Burg took D5 Hartley (this ye...

Re: DV 3 Region 9 Final Jackson Vs Zanesville

Good stuff fellas this is the stuff I like to read about. Good coaching and players willing to listen, make changes and buy-in are good combinations no matter what the sport is. Sometimes finding puzzle pieces that fit together takes time, especially when key players from previous teams graduate. Go...

Re: DV R17 Finals #2 Zane Trace v. #1 Wheelersburg

What are a couple items that would have to happen for ZT to be in this game in the 4th quarter? The majority seem to think the Burg is heavily favored and I may have to agree with this as a little actually TBH. If they turn ball over like Ridgewood game is that enough or can ZT exploit any particula...

Re: Why did the last Burg vs Zane Trace Post get locked????

I clicked on a page of that thread at random and the first few posts I saw were about Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, and a nuke being dropped on Waverly. Obviously, none of those things are relevant to the game being played and I'm personally all for banter acts but a lot of those posts simply have no d...

Nothing was wrong with the second thread....yet, should have let it rolled for a bit and seen if everyone had gotten their chest thumping out of the way in the first one.
