Lol..Should bode well for this years Knights..basically the same team except more skill players and a year older.
5-0 Robbinsville AT 3-1 Andrews
- Thread starter FarWestNorthCarolinaSports
- Start date
I'm sure Murphy wasnt scared that year the game would have been a barnburner that year with Cox playing. I would still take my knights in that game though like Murphy fans would take the bulldogs but thats bias speaking on both sides. Its one of those what ifs that we'll never know.
Galaviz was great! Rushed for 330 yards against murphy.
He was a good back but some of that perception is molded by the truly elite line in front of him, Galaviz was better on defense. Galaviz was shutdown in the playoff game that season, 17 carries for 50 yards.
Great gets thrown around too easy. The Robbinsville o-line was great, Galaviz was in the very good category as a back.

An injured Cruz you held to 50 yds.
Cox doesnt get Murphy the win in 14.
Score probably be the same both games.

Sorry man, but you literally have no clue! Everyone has opinions and rightfully so, but if you think he was healthy that game, refer to the first sentence. If you really want to know how good he was, just watch the last carry in his HS career.
Seriously? It's been 7 years ago, if you think I honestly remember those kind of specifics for a different team from a game that long ago then you overestimate my memory. Just so we're clear, I'm sure everyone in Robbinsville remembers that Murphy's fullback played that game one week after coming back from a 3 month layoff from a torn MCL. Nope? of course not and why would you, was nothing to do with your team and you won.
I honestly don't even care about the stats one way or the other, your guy brought out the stats, so I went looking through the stats for those games on MaxPreps trying to jog my memory a little more. What I care about is the eye test and I stand 100% by what I originally said, Galaviz was a good back but Matheson was the star of that team. And it's the same thing this year, Hooper is a good back but Collins is the star. I don't see a thing controversial about either of those statements.

Yeah, I'm sure the ESPN 3 star RB wouldn't have made a bit of difference, none. I'm sure having him out there over the freshman that had to be pulled up off JV to take his place wouldn't have made a lick of difference, not a bit
. You're acting like those were blowout games, Murphy lost the first one by 9 without their starting RB (best player) and FB. Murphy lost the playoff game by 8 without their starting QB and RB (best player). So tell me BK, does Robbinsville beat Murphy in either of those games without their best player and another one of their starting skill players out? No, but according to you it made no difference in the result. Right..You know back then I might not have, but now if I think Robbinsville has the better team or the more talented team I will own it. Robbinsville had the better team in '15 and '19 and even though they didn't beat Murphy that season, I think they had more talent in '09 too. It's highly likely that you will in '22 and '23 as well, we'll see. But you will never convince me or anyone associated with Murphy that Robbinsville was more talented than a healthy Murphy in '14. Like KnightInShiningArmor said, both sides are going to see it their way and there will be no adjustment of position.
I'll close with this, one day you will live it BK. I dont wish injuries on any team but one day Robbinsville will be in the position Murphy was in back '01 and '14 and when they are don't go changing your tune. Sorry for helping to derail this thread, was not my intent.

You know about every in grown toe nail Murphy had back 20 years and you throw it around ever chance you get.
Nope I dont think Cox would of made a difference. I've said that for years.
I believe I might watch that game again today.

If we're talking HS backs I would have Cruz ahead of Cox.
Cruz was touched by 7 or 8 Murphy players and still ran a 60 yr td. Gage couldn't of done that. Two totally different backs. If Murphy had a Cruz that year you might of beat Rville. That's the type of back it would've took. A GREAT back like Cruz.

Skylar was starting FB in 13. If he would've played QB who would've been FB?
Crisp was a good passer and could run.
Moral of this thread....Robbinsville has had the BEST running backs, BEST fullback, BEST quarterback, BEST offensive line, BEST coaching staff, BEST fan base, they are also VERY DEEP....I mean they are undoubtedly the BEST, the GREATEST.
I keep quiet on here most of time...just an avid reader of thoughts and opinions of all things football. But my head hurts from how hard I roll my eyes reading these post. This year has been particularly out of control.

Do any of the crazy opinions coming out of murphy cause you any head aches, eye rolls, or any other physical ailments?...asking for a professional friend.
If we can hold on to the football and get a few turnovers maybe be I'm still thinking 31-14.
Walsh will pull the starters as soon as he can.

Lot of good nuggets in here on the ROBBINSVILLE vs ANDREWS game in this thread. 
Ive been wrong before but I don’t see rvills starters coming out early this week.
I’m just glad no one from Andrews is on here flapping their gums. I’m happy where this team is at especially after preseason picks having us at #5. Hoping for a good game with no injuries
I will take football gum flapping any day over politics.
I don't think you will find a Robbinsville fan anywhere that says anything bad about Andrews...Ive always felt like they were more part of Graham County than Cherokee County ..one ridge separates us..probably only a few miles as a crow flies
'95, twice. Came close in '11 but no cigar.
Today's Asheville Citizens is showing both Andrews backs with 800 yds each..In 4 games..Is that correct?
For what it's worth, Maxpreps has Weaver with 576 and Wilson with 556 through 4 games. i think the pair of them had almost 400 against Hayesville. I don't remember the stats from the Swain game but they were probably similar, maybe a little less.
Andrews had 23 players(now 22). They don't have 10 running backs.
I think Andrews has some success running on rville but that’s why I’ve said I’m not not sure they can sustain it for 4 quarters.
Of course not all those are contributing in close games. If you break it down a little further, looks like Robbinsville has 5 that get decent number of carries.
Andrews definitely has a uphill battle, no doubt about it. They usually do.
Andrews needs to move the sticks and keep the clock moving. Play keep away if they can.
They really need some receiving yards to slow down that defense.
