Just as staed ab Burg players getting under Bendolph's skin Bendolph knows what they bring to the court and can get under their skin because he played with them last year ! Burg-55 vs. Portsmouth-61

...we'll just send the Burg players some "cookies and milk" as a warm gesture...

...Do the Burg mom's still provide "cookies and milk" for their players as they did 30 years ago in football?

...Do they also have nap time?

68-14........................................

if cookies and milk can make that happen, ill bake them before every game!!!

I ‘m a big fan of Stegman and Shankwiler, but I don’t think they can keep up with Portsmouth. McKinley and Underwood will be too much for Steg to with stand. Shank is plenty fast, but isn’t as good of a shooter or defender as Bendolph or Evans. I think Burg will keep it close, as they will have a great game plan, but I think the Trojans pull away in the 2nd half. 62-54 PHS

Everyone has talked about Andrews return against the Burg, remember Zaide started for the Pirates two season ago as a freshmen. So he knows how the Burg guys play as well

Talking about a football score from 2009, I don't get it??

The only score that has any meaning to this game is Dec. 23 @ Portsmouth 64 Wheelersburg 56

Oh by the way, in case you are still living in football land from 2009, Portsmouth beat wheelersburg without 1st team All-District player Andrew Bendolph.

well Tobias brought up football, so I figured it only polite to remind him of the massacre that took place at Pirate Coliseum...

What happened 3 months ago @ Portsmouth, has absolutely nothing to do with this game in March! Since Portsmouth has just upset the #1 seed Fairland, they are obviously the big favorite in this one.

Fairland was the #1 seed but in the weakest of the 4 Districts in the region IMO. Other than Portsmouth, there is no other team that stood out from the get go.

Really? How doesn't it? Same teams, same season, same players...opps you did get me. 3 months ago when Portsmouth beat wheelerburg they beat them without 1st team All-District player Andrew Bendolph.

If you want to talk about the past, I guess we can. 4 State Titles

.......coming from the school currently begging to get back into the SOCII

How can we get "back" into something we were never in?

[OZZIEOHIO]

And whos begging????

This will be the 7th meeting between Portsmouth and Wheelersburg in the tournament, but the first ever in the regionals. Previous meetings:

1978: Portsmouth 54, Wheelersburg 52 OT sectional final
1983: Portsmouth 66, Wheelersburg 59 OT district final
1984: Wheelersburg 73, Portsmouth 66 OT district final
1987: Portsmouth 59, Wheelersburg 54 sectional final
2006: Wheelersburg 72, Portsmouth 48 sectional final
2007: Wheelersburg 54, Portsmouth 33 sectional fInal

The two schools did not meet in 1988........Portsmouth beat West and Ironton in the sectional........and PHS was a D2 school, while WHS was D3........the Burg went 24-0 that year before losing in the regional finals in Athens.

[trojandave]

I look for both teams to bring the intensity Wednesday night.........I would like to see the Trojans rebound better than they have the last two games........defensively, giving up only 42 and 41 points vs. Norhwest and Fairland is a simple recipe for victory........it is difficult to lose a game when you hold your opponent to those numbers..........neither one of those games were of the sliowdown type.

Wheelersburg will be a stiffer challenge for our Trojan defenders.........but I believe our kids can rise to that challenge.

GO TROJANS!!!
