Hope Murphy blows MIC away!! And they will !!!
Hope Cherokee can give Mitchell a good game. First game earlier in the year was not bad. Mitchell is hot right now. Braves gonna have to bring their A+ game!!
Mitchell beat Braves 21-0 earlier. Braves are vastly improved, but so is Mitchell. Looking for a great game!!

Both games will have a lot of intrigue going in, and will be a tough choice for the casual observer:
1). It's always tough to beat the same team twice in the same season, so will the Mountaineer players be totally focused on a Braves' team that they have already beaten once this season, or will they be looking ahead to that possible showdown with Murphy or MICS in the Western Regional final, the following week?....For the Braves, who should be very motivated this time around, will they make the adjustments to be able to slow down an experienced and talented team that has been there and done that, last year?....How much improvement has both teams made since that early season showdown, will be obvious by the end of the first half?....May be wrong, but I think this may be the first time that Cherokee has played Mitchell County in a playoff game?....If I were close by, I would probably go and watch this game....
2). The old saying could never be more true than in this first time, first ever playoff matchup between the Bulldogs and the Raptors: "To be the MAN, you've got to beat the MAN" has always been a slogan that gets thrown around this time of year when you face a perennial powerhouse, which of course is what Murphy represents on generally a yearly basis.....The Bulldog stadium slogan "The Hill" has become a mountain that's been tough to climb through the years for most playoff opponents, so can the new kid on the block beat the bigger, and more experienced playoff bully on his own turf in front of a big home crowd?....It's a question that will surely lure a lot of casual fans to see if MICS has what it takes to end the Bulldogs' season, or will the Bulldog sit proudly on "the hill" at the end, awaiting either the Braves or Mountaineers in the Western Final!....Once again if I were close by, I would probably go and watch this game......
In the end, a casual fan will likely be entertained by either game!
Good luck to all, and may all injuries be limited and minimal!

Doing research on MIC and talking to fans from Andrews that actually watched them play against the Wildcats it will appear to be a high scoring shootout against Murphy. MIC will bring a big time QB who has thrown over 3000 yds and 2 great backs who have rushed over 1000 yds. They have speed and skilled athletes which will be a challenge. Murphy is one of the most prestigious 1A football programs in the state year after year. They can run several different backs at you all night long and not lose any edge. Their QB is very accurate and will not make mistakes, no interceptions on the season !!! To me though Murphy's Defense is the total package. It's going to be very interesting to see who comes out with this win. I'm hoping the home field advantage and the seasoned coaches will be the difference for Murphy but I think it will be a high scoring affair with both teams scoring in the 50's. It might come down to who has the ball last !! If I was Murphy I would turn on the sprinkler system and flood the field all day Lol. Good luck to the Bulldogs
Murphy is one of the toughest places to play in 1A. I'm picking a Mitchell-Murphy final.
I see that Murphy D containing those backs. Anybody could rack up those stats against the teams they played. The long bus ride and atmosphere definitely lean the favor heavily towards Murphy. I see the score being 48-21 with that last score being a garbage time TD when subs are in.
MICS is only in their 3rd year of varsity football. They are athletic and speedy. The school draws from Charlotte and also has some players that would have attended East Gaston. I would think Murphy would have a big advantage coaching wise and playing at home, but MICS is better than most people think.
