Burg finds more offense in win

Image
The Pirates took a short bus trip to Greenup County to take on the 2-2 musketeers. The musketeers fielded arguably the best quarterback in the area in senior Eli Sammons. Eli has committed to Marshall. For the first three games, the Pirates had to contend with strong running teams, but this week, they had to defend a spread passing attack. Outside of a couple of missed opportunities, the Greenup Musketeers could only muster up 7 points, far from their average that was yielding well over 21 points per contest. The Pirates held Sammons to less than 50% passing and picked off two interceptions to boot. On the offensive side of the ball, the Pirates have continued to improve. The offensive line of Blair, Goode, Welch, Richardson and Johnson have been solid from the start while the QB spot has taken some time to develop.  Aaron Masters had a solid performance against Greenup throwing for two touchdowns and running for another. Clark and Vastine were both on the receiving ends of Mas...

Burg gears up for Hartley.

Image
The Wheelersburg football team has faced adversity before and will have to do so again as they take on Bishop Hartley this Friday night at Ed Miller stadium.  The Pirates lost last week to ironton 30-6 but don’t let the score mislead you.  Ironton held a 3-0 lead heading into half which looked to be shaping up for a defensive battle, but then Ironton came out and put a scoring drive together to capture  the first touchdown of the evening. Wheelersburg responded back as Makaya Matthews broke off a long run from the tail back position. After the P.A.T went left, the score was 10-6 mid third quarter. A monsoon began to fall and things started going south for the Pirates. Pirates forced two fumbles on Ironton’s next drive but unfortunately for the Burg, they landed back into the enemy’s hands. Ironton was able to punch it in and make it 17-6. After that score, the injury bug began to bite as two key players for the the Pirates had to exit the contest forcing the coaching st...

Burg Football continues on, Lady Pirate Volleyball ends historic run.

Image
The Wheelersburg Football Pirates took to the gridiron at Ed Miller stadium this past Saturday night in an epic re-match of battle royal against Minford. The Falcons snagged a 6 spot in the region where as Wheelersburg came in as the 3rd seed in Region 19. The game almost played out identical from the last match-up; both teams couldn't break the end zone plane in the first half. The falcons had the best shot as they marched deep into Pirate territory, but Burg's defense stiffened up like Gorilla glue on pair of Watsy's shoes. The Falcons had to settle for a Risner pitching wedge between the uprights giving Minford a 3-0 halftime lead. The yellow hankies littered the field once again against these two, 11 penalties total between both teams, 12 if you count the one that fell out of the back judges pocket as he was trying to catch up with the Hedgehog. In the second half, Makaya" hedgehog" Matthews got be...
