Final Comments:
Young very talented explosive offensive unit that has a stout offensive OLine in front of them
Defensive returns a number of starters that will build a solid defensive unit
Special teams are always a major factor that we work to capitalize on in games
With an extremely tough schedule, the Pirates are ready to attract the 2023 season.
 
 
This will be a good team, one of perineal powers in SEO, looking forward to their week 1 game against D V runner up Ironton. As well as their nonconf schedule. A team that can definitely push for R19
 
I seen on another football site that Wheelerburg goes to London for a scrimmage tonight, checking to see if this is true, if so I would like to see them, been a long time since we seen them, good luck this year
