As far as going somewhere just to see a good football I think would be the Mtn Heritage - Pisgah game.
Concerning the WHC ,I think it will be interesting to see how Polk fairs against Hendersonville compared to Mtn Heritage.

Robbinsville v Murphy
Robbinsville v Swain
Murphy v Swain
All 3 of these games will have an impact on the conference and then with seeding in the playoffs. Looking forward to some great football coming up.

I would like to see Mitchell and Swain renew their annual meeting. Also, wouldn't mind Hendo and Mitchell meeting back up.
Murphy vs Swain County
Is this going to be that game? The game that Murphy’s Coach Gentry tries to break the all time state record? The game is at Swain Right? Wow that would be a game I would drive almost two hours to see....
Hearing good things from the SMC this season. Dominating some non conference teams. Going to be an exciting conference season

we’d have to drop st Mary’s school for the blind
Robbinsville, Swain, or Murphy VS any Cheating Charter.
Avery used to play robbinsville, Mitchell swain. Good games.
I would like to play Polk. Dont think we ever played them. I could be wrong. I know we've played MH Mitchell and Avery.
Polk were middle of the road three of the four years, one bad year in '97. Their overall SMC record was 12-20.
Hendersonville had more success, they were 20-12 overall and won the SMC in '98 and '00.
The league was really tough overall during that time period, very few easy games.
Conference records
97’ 1-7
98’ 3-5
99’ 4-4
00’ 4-4
Polk continued to play Andrews, Hayesville and Rosman for a few years after their SMC stint.
But you got to remember Polks years in the SMC were pre Ollis it's a different program since his arrival.
Pre Ollis all time record 62-79
After Ollis Arrival record 147-74
Ollis made a big difference for Polk different program since he came on board in 02.

This is a very interesting statement. What do you think has been the reasons for decline in games. It does seem like blow outs are way more common now.
NAFTA.....Manufacturing started leaving taking families and jobs away from the mountains.....
There are 2 reasons that small towns and their football is deteriorating; Democrats, and republicans. Democrats sold out manufacturing jobs overseas, and republicans created Charter and Magnet schools.
I agree with you, but I also think there are some other factors. Robbinsville lost their furniture factory and are still going strong. Andrews’ results weren’t much different even when they were still making Lee jeans and the hospital was open. Hayesville was pretty good in the 90s and early 2000s but has fallen off even though Clay County didn’t take any huge hits from NAFTA. Participation numbers, teenagers’ mindset, tradition, culture, and some other factors play into it, too, I think.
Too many options. Back in my day we played all sports, very little specialization. The gap between the haves and have nots was not as pronounced between the schools.
