I look forward to Burton diving deep into the playoffs again this year. I hope they make it to state and win it all. They deserve it after how badly they were ripped off last year.
I also hope that if they do make it to state, they give whoever they're up against one of the worst a** whippings ever seen in a state title game. I'm afraid even that wouldn't do justice for last year, though.
Officially retired
Ummmm, Burton was clicking very nicely but William Campbell just didn't look all that great. Their QB couldn't throw the deep ball so they had to rely on him scrambling and throwing short passes but Burtons D was stout and swarmed to the ball very well tonight.
As far as Lebanon, they just didn't look all that great. I think Burtons second team scored 1 or 2 scores on their 1st team D. I may be wrong about that but I think it was their first team D still out in the 2nd Quarter.
Burton didn't make any mistakes really. No INT's and maybe one fumble that we recovered. Ethan looked very good. He scrambled a lot and very efficient.

things i gathered from the jamboree:
1. kelly is much improved.
2. burton doesn't seem to be down any from last season. lack of competition this season may hurt.
3. william campbell doesn't appear to be a state championship contender. they will get better though by playing good competition in region b.
4. lebanon got the raw deal tonight having to play 6 straight quarters against good competition. they had nothing left for burton. it may not have mattered but they were exhausted by the 2nd quarter with wc, and had nothing for the fresh burton team.
5. make no mistake, burton is very good, but they definitely had the jamboree schedule set up in their favor. william campbell had been on and off the field for about 5 hours before the faced burton. are they better than wc? yes.... are they 27 points better in a half? no
