WK6 Minford 16 Wheelersburg 15 SOC II

[fbnut]

Right now burg looks like a big favorite. I think it will be a descent game. They had some good games last year. Both teams return alot of players. I look for burg to win. But the game will be close and undecited in the 4th quarter IMO.

Two questions I ask is:
1. Is the burg peaking too early? I thought West peaked in the minford game last year and never really played again like they did that night.

2. How will burg react if late in the game it is still close. They have alot of good players, but no clear cut studd. Will identities clash. If the offense has been stagnet, will the which QB should play or RB should run cause problems. Sometimes you can have too many I's and not enough balls to go around.

I know what I would do. Burg has alot of skilled players. A couple of the recievers are big (Stegmen). But can they handle press coverage and can Lang or Shankweiler throw the ball well. I would load the box and make them pass the ball under pressure. I wouldn't sit back and let them run the ball down my throat.

#1 Nope

#2 VASJ proved Burg can play the game! Stud= Lang, Shank, Oline, Defense!! Shank vs lang is gone, kids are playing as a team!! LOL!!

#3 Teach it to the kids at west. RH almost hung an L on west and Burg showed how good those skilled players are when a TEAM plays like they should!!

Balls come into play after football!!

1. Possible

2. Ironton proved their very beatable

3. West is coming around. Their young and trying to jell. Burg is following West around the schedule with Portsmouth and RH taking advantage of their leftovers. West beats them to death, like Portsmouth the week before. Several Portsmouth players were injured I understand.
Didn't you say before that your kids go to West? If so, do you teach it to them?[/quote


I don't think the coaches knew in week 1 who their stud or go to guy was but I think they have figured out that Shank fills those cleats but they have a multiple playmakers.

Is this West and Wheelersburg Week ?

[fuzzhead]

Not saying anything. Just said I dont think CG that good based on tonights game.

What does CG have to do with Minford/Wheelersburg?

Minford's a playoff-caliber team; they just play in a tough conference and could get misfortunate enough to miss the playoffs because of that.

I don't know why people get offended when I or someone else says that it's possible to lose to someone else besides Wheelersburg in SOCII play.

Siderman says The Burg has no stud How about Schankweiler last night against Rock Hill ( 3 carries 128 yards 3TD's) he is the best back in the SOC hands down. Pendelton gets an avg. 24-28 carries a game, and Schank gets 10-12 a game. Yes in away you are correct Burg does not have a stud, they have STUDS.

You are kidding about the best back right. Pendleton might be the best player ever in scioto county. Remember he ran over burg last year as a sophmore.

It's not the tough conference that might keep Minford out of the playoffs, it is that terrible non-conference schedule they play. You can't play the likes of River Valley, Wellston and Huntington Ross. The three were 0-12 going into last nights game. They need to get Portsmouth back on the schedule along with maybe Greenup Co. (who might only win 4-6 games a year but they are considered a DII school over here which gets you big points). I know these teams might be having down years, but in what years hasn't River Valley and Huntington not had down years. Wellston also hasn't fielded a good team in awhile either. Sure you beat them 50-0 but it doesn't get you computer points. IMO, this is probably a must win game for the Falcons. Lose and it will be a hard road to travel back up to get in the playoffs.

siderman, are you serious about Portsmouth and RH being banged up by West before both games????? Please!!!!!! The only one that I know of that was missing from Ptown was Corey Reeves and I don't think he is a 54 point difference. With RH, not sure of who they were missing but I don't see them being a 45 point difference either.

Like free safety said, Burg doesn't have just one stud, they have several studs. They have in essence, two starting QB's in Lang and Schank and don't lose a beat when they change to either one. This years team has alot of speed on both sides of the ball. Sure, they lost to Ironton, but like was said above, they were trying to figure out who the go to guy was, when in fact they had several and they just weren't prepared by the coaching staff going into that game. I believe that if they played Ironton now, they would beat them. I'm not afriad to say it on here, but when you keep trying to run up the middle, up the middle, up the middle all night against a team like Ironton, then you are playing right into there hands. Itown stuffed 10 in the box and just shut them down. You try and do that now and you'll be watching a RB go around the end for a TD.

Botttomline is this is Burg-Minford week and Burg will definetly show up to play. If Minford doesn't, then it could get ugly real fast.

i seen some posts about the vasj game. just so the burg fans know they lost last night 50-24 to div 1 willoughby south

[Cameron34Crazie34]

The West run game might have worn the Portsmouth and Rock Hill teams out but they still got plenty of rest for their games vs. the burg. I know Reeves was out but like yabbadabbadoo said, he wouldn't make a 50 some point difference. And I don't care who was out for the Rock Hill game we should have beat them worse then we did like the burg did. I believe that the burg is that much better then the rest of the league. I hate to say that but it is the truth.

Wait, I thought this was a Burg-Minford thread, but on a sidenote, give Schankweiler the carries that Pendleton has had and I venture to guess he would have went over a 1,000 yards this week.

[Cameron34Crazie34]

Come on guys, quit talking about the two running backs. Which one is better it doesn't really matter because you can't say that the other one isn't a solid back also.

did you forget about a rb from portsmouth in the 90's by the name of akia brown. that is just one of some talents backs to play at portsmouth

[Mad-Dogg]

i agree 100% with Cameron34Crazie34

[riverball]

This one should be the game of the week this week. This is probably where I'll be.

please tell me that was meant to be a joke

[bball fan123]

My prediction is Pirates 35 Falcons 14. I think the pirates are just way to much for them to handle and we take the victory with a comfortable margin

go pirates!

Pendleton might be the best player ever in scioto county.

I can't believe someone could honestly make that statement without laughing. Yes, he is a good running back and football player, but best to ever come out of Scioto county? Please!!!

As for the game, if the Pirates play like they are capable of on both sides of the ball I see them winning by at least 2 scores. Sure they lost to Ironton, but I don't think there's a team in Scioto county that could beat the Tigers this year.

[Mad-Dogg]

no that wasn't a joke fbnut. another good back was jo jo parker. besides i want to know why pendleton was brought up in a burg-minford thread
