Pirates’ playoff win means season sweep of Falcons<\/p>\n

By Paul Boggs<\/p>\n

WHEELERSBURG \u2014 It all began, innocently enough, with an onside kick.
\nTurns out it was the kick-start that got the host Wheelersburg Pirates warmed up on a cold night \u2014 and off and literally running.
\nWith Wheelersburg recovering an onside kick to open the second half, and the tide turning to the Pirates\u2019 favor in the form of 242 second-half rushing yards, Saturday night\u2019s much-anticipated rematch against the Minford Falcons went Wheelersburg\u2019s way \u2014 with the Pirates going up and eventually holding on for a 28-23 Division V Region 19 quarterfinal victory inside Ed Miller Stadium in Wheelersburg.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Pirates extended their OHSAA regional quarterfinal winning streak to seven, as this is the eighth consecutive season in which Wheelersburg has not only competed in the playoffs \u2014 but also has hosted a regional quarterfinal.
\nThe third-seeded Pirates and sixth-seed Falcons both entered at 7-3, but \u2014 largely thanks to Wheelersburg\u2019s 21-20 overtime triumph over the host Falcons (7-4) on Oct. 4 \u2014 the Pirates (8-3) got the home game.<\/p>\n

And, for the second time in a season against Minford \u2014 and for the fifth time in Wheelersburg head coach Rob Woodward\u2019s dozen campaigns \u2014 the Pirates defeated the same squad in the regular season\u2026AND in the playoffs.
\nIn fact, the first time that happened was Woodward\u2019s first season as head coach \u2014 against Minford in 2008 (14-7 in regular season and 14-6 in regional quarterfinals).
\nBut for the Pirates, the plan is simple in November.
\nJust keep playing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want to be playing in week 12 and here we are. No matter whom it is against,\u201d said Woodward. \u201cWe have guys that make big-time plays in big-time playoff games. In all three phases. We\u2019ll take it. It\u2019s playoff football. You just want to still be playing. We had some miscues in the first half, but we made some adjustments and reached into our toolbox to find some things that we could do differently. Our coaches communicated those with our kids and we were able to make some successful changes in the second half. Minford come in here very prepared, threw everything at us, gave us a tremendous battle. Our kids did enough of what they needed to do to ensure we came away with the win. We did some things that we recognized that were effective enough for us. We\u2019ll go back and fix the things that we need to fix, but we\u2019re still playing next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, next Saturday night to be exact, the Pirates play undefeated Ridgewood in a Region 19 semifinal \u2014 at 7 p.m. at Lancaster\u2019s Fulton Field.
\nEarly on, though, it appeared as if Minford \u2014 making its first playoff appearance since 2012 \u2014 might be the one advancing, as the Falcons forced a pair of Pirate punts and a turnover on downs while driving 10 plays over five minutes and eight seconds in the first quarter to lead 3-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Matthew Risner made a 27-yard field goal with 3:38 remaining in the opening period, and that kick held up \u2014 as Braxton Sammons missed a 32-yard attempt for Wheelersburg with six-and-a-half seconds left in the first half.<\/p>\n

But special teams indeed was a theme, and Wheelersburg was just getting kick-started.<\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/p>\n

Sammons made all four of his extra-point attempts, and the Pirates presumably put the game out of reach at 28-10 with only 3:53 remaining \u2014 after Wheelersburg recovered a Sammons squib kick at the Minford 19-yard-line following the Falcons fumbling the return.<\/p>\n

\u201cBraxton (Sammons) made all four extra points, did a great job kicking off, and we recovered two onside kicks. We\u2019ll take recovering that squib kick at the 20 in the fourth quarter. We\u2019re always trying to take advantage of things when we can,\u201d said Woodward. \u201cPlayoff football is often won on special teams.\u201d
\nIs was on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Following the Pirates\u2019 collectively and Sammons individually executing the onside kick to start the second half, Wheelersburg went off for 242 rushing yards on 27 carries\u2014 scoring all 28 points in a matter of 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Pirates attempted only a single second-half pass, but definitely didn\u2019t need to throw, especially when Makya Matthews and quarterback Evan Horsley had their wheels working in the cold just fine.<\/p>\n

After 11 carries for 40 yards in the opening half, Matthews erupted for 164 yards and a hat trick of touchdowns on 14 rushes in the second.
\nHis two short scoring runs of six and seven yards came exactly 52 seconds apart in the fourth quarter, making it 28-10 for Wheelersburg\u2019s largest lead.
\nMatthews amounted a massive 204 yards on 25 carries, as Horsley had 14 total carries for 93 yards \u2014 with eight tries for 64 yards in the second half.
\nHorsley\u2019s one-yard dive to cap a 10-play, 80-yard, four-minute and 17-second scoring drive put the Pirates in front for good at 14-10.<\/p>\n

Hunter Ruby rushed five times for 24 yards, as three kneel-downs in the victory formation at the end of the game gave Wheelersburg 318 rushing yards on 47 carries.
\nHorsley completed half of his eight passes for 38 yards, but it was Wheelersburg\u2019s second-half ground assault which wore the Falcons out.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve always commended our guys on their ability to continue to play for four quarters and their conditioning that they work themselves through. This week was no different. It showed tonight,\u201d said Woodward. \u201cOur guys just kept cranking it up and playing at a high level, which is what we want. We always tell our guys to win it in the fourth quarter. Even if you\u2019re struggling throughout, just continue to push and persevere and win it in the fourth.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the Pirates had to get kick-started first, which was on the onside kick to open the third.<\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]
\nSammons calmly kicked the ball, hovered over it almost as it rolled the necessary 10 yards before being touched, and then the Pirates fell on it at the Falcon 47-yard-line.
\nMinford coach Jesse Ruby said his Falcons actually \u201cexpected\u201d the onsider, but \u201cunfortunately, we just didn\u2019t recover it\u201d.
\n\u201cThey did a nice job of not touching it in the first 10 yards. It slow-rolled and it let them get there and get a good recovery, he said.<\/p>\n

The Pirates took immediate advantage, as Matthews \u2014 on the same back-to-back running play-call \u2014 dashed up the middle for nine yards, before bursting for 38 yards to the end zone only 39 seconds in.<\/p>\n

Sammons made the extra point for the 7-3 Wheelersburg lead, as the Pirates then answered a quick Minford score with their second touchdown that featured five carries apiece by Matthews and Horsley.<\/p>\n

Minford, meanwhile, moved the ball as well \u2014 amassing 309 yards on 57 plays from scrimmage, with a balance of 35 rushes for 141 yards and Elijah Voglesong-Lewis completing 13-of-22 passes for 168 yards.<\/p>\n

Ty Wiget, the Falcons\u2019 senior standout running back who had 71 yards on 11 carries, had 41 of them on one run just a minute-and-a-half into the third quarter \u2014 from the Wheelersburg 44 all the way to the three.<\/p>\n

Wiget then scored on the next play, as Minford\u2019s 51-yard and 53-second scoring drive \u2014 with Risner\u2019s extra-point kick \u2014 gave the Falcons a 10-7 advantage.
\nBut other than that TD, and Voglesong-Lewis\u2019 two short scoring runs within a minute of each other in the final two-and-a-half minutes to get the Falcons to within 28-23, Minford failed to put touchdowns on the board once inside the 25-yard line.<\/p>\n

Coach Ruby said that Minford made mistakes that indeed impacted its performance.
\n\u201cSelf-inflicted mistakes, whether that\u2019s a penalty or a missed assignment or a missed block or a missed tackle or taking a sack or dropping a catch, those situations certainly hurt,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are just critical in a playoff atmosphere. It\u2019s just unfortunate that we had a few. But every play matters. Offense, defense and special teams. It showed tonight in all three phases. Every play tonight, every play against Wheelersburg this year had a pivotal role at some point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the first quarter, a Voglesong-Lewis short-screen pass completion to Bryson Ashley for 33 yards moved the Falcons to the Pirate 10, but a fumble on the exchange two plays later stalled the drive \u2014 and forced the Falcons to kick the Risner field goal.<\/p>\n

A full 12 minutes later, Minford moved as deep as the Pirate 17, but a holding penalty pushed the Falcons back to the 28, as a Voglesong-Lewis pass on 4th-and-11 from the 23 into the end zone was dropped.<\/p>\n

Both of those first-half drives were 10 plays, as \u2014 trailing 14-10 \u2014 the Falcons drove eight plays and as deep as the Wheelersburg 22.
\nBut on 3rd-down-and-8, the Pirates sacked Voglesong-Lewis for a 13-yard loss, resulting in a punt which Minford misjudged in an attempt to down it near the goal-line.
\nWheelersburg then went three-and-out, and a Risner return to the Pirate 46 set shop up for the Falcons at the outset of the fourth quarter.
\nMinford moved nine plays in three minutes and five seconds to the 14, but three straight incompletions \u2014 and a two-yard gain on 4th-down by Voglesong-Lewis \u2014 left it empty-handed again.
\nThe Pirate defense did bend at times, but it definitely didn\u2019t break.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey got down towards the red zone, and we bowed our backs. We stopped them a couple times on fourth down, we forced a punt, we forced a field goal. Some huge defensive plays down in the red zone that we needed to make,\u201d said Woodward. \u201cThose all add up in a big playoff game like this.\u201d
\nVoglesong-Lewis led the Falcons with 18 carries for 61 yards, as Risner recorded eight receptions for 106 yards \u2014 while rushing four times for 10.
\nMeanwhile, more of Matthews and Horsley had the Pirates up 21-10 with 4:45 remaining, as Wheelersburg drove 88 yards in only eight plays in four-and-a-half minutes with Matthews scoring from six yards out.<\/p>\n

After the Pirates recovered the ensuing Sammons squib-kick kickoff, Ruby ran a jet sweep for 12 yards to the seven, as Matthews covered those final seven yards to make it 28-10 just 52 seconds later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just mishandled that ball. We had a couple of guys with an opportunity to get it, and every time we jumped on the ball, it squirted out and their guys were able to make a play and get on it,\u201d said Coach Ruby.<\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/p>\n

Minford made the final 3:39 interesting, though, as Risner\u2019s return of 50 yards of the ensuing kickoff and pass completion to him for 21 set up Voglesong-Lewis\u2019 six-yard run at the two-and-a-half minute mark.<\/p>\n

Risner made the extra point for the 11-point deficit (28-17), as the Falcons then executed and recovered an onside kick of their own \u2014 and were right back at midfield.
\nAnother Voglesong-Lewis completion to Risner, this one for 34 yards, quickly moved Minford to the Wheelersburg three-yard-line \u2014 as Voglesong-Lewis ran in again three plays later with a minute-and-a-half remaining.<\/p>\n

But the Falcons failed on the two-point conversion pass attempt, and after another Falcon onside kick which Wheelersburg recovered, Minford\u2019s comeback bid was officially over \u2014 as well as its comeback season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought our kids played hard and well throughout the whole game, but Wheelersburg made some key plays in the second half. When you are down 28-10 and there\u2019s three minutes to go, you can see a team just easily lay down and give up. I was very proud of our kids for coming back and showing resiliency, making a big play, getting in the end zone, recovering an onside kick and getting back in the end zone again in that short amount of time,\u201d said Coach Ruby. \u201cWe had two touchdowns there in a minute. Their effort all night was great.\u201d
\nMinford started last season 6-0, then lost the final four games to fall out of playoff contention.<\/p>\n

The Falcons were on a similar slide this year, having lost two of three after opening 5-0 \u2014 and sitting one spot out of the playoffs prior to their regular-season finale against Valley.
\nBut Minford shut out Valley, and Waverly won at Oak Hill, thus propelling the Falcons into the Region 19 quarterfinals.
\nMinford will graduate and say goodbye to 15 seniors, as Ruby said the group was \u201cvery good\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese seniors were huge to this team this year. I\u2019ve been head coach for four years, so I\u2019ve had them all since they were freshmen,\u201dhe said. \u201cJust to see their attitude and leadership and work ethic over the last four years get better and better, they will be missed. They\u2019ve worked hard to try and improve our program. They\u2019ve carried themselves so well throughout this whole season.\u201d
\nFor the Pirates, they play on against second-seeded Ridgewood, whom Woodward and Wheelersburg are quite familiar with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve played them in the past. Coach (John) Slusser and I know one another well,\u201d said the coach. \u201cHe has a quality good football team and program. It\u2019s going to be a battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
