Oldballcoach, nice try. My first post on here. I am from Wheelersburg but like to see football as it is played. I watch ironton alot and loved the Ashland and Belfry series. JC is a good football team. Man, they brought alot of kids to the HILL! Thats what they call it at Burg. And if you had to walk up it, you know! So I paid the money and get to travel with the eagles and hope for a state run like last year! Also get to keep an eye on Beechwood (much respect) and Raceland/Russell squads. As for JC, great job by the offensive line. The option was run very well by the eagles and, as you know, got alot of yards and a few scores. One thing though, Eagles only got 68 yards total offense in the 2nd half and that needs to be worked on. As for Wburg, the qb was harrassed constantly. He was hurt but only went out for 1 play I believe. I want to comment on the refs for this game. They are not from Burg, and probably like kentucky, they are issued in from many parts. I think this group was from the huntington area. Not sure. But they did a great job. Let the kids play. Wheelersburg is a small school by JCs standard and it was a triumph for those kids here in the Burg to compete like they did vs JC. Burg only has 35 players on their squad and that is the reason. But that doesnt take away from your effort, 5 ints and no burg running game. Good luck to you all and yes, we get to the playoffs by beating teams for points. We got zilch by losing to JC but we gained a ton of experience playing a team like JC and Grimm is exciting!! I know he acted like he was hit alot but I dont believe it! Good luck to him and all the JC kids the rest of the season!!
