I quit. Sorry.

Well I guess the radio station announcer summed it all up. Murphy has 46 players to Cherokee 24. Enough said
From the best I gathered at first was an apparent leg injury but he apparently had some sort of head injury, he seemed to pass concussion protocol though
If that is what you think decides victory or defeat, then you guys will never win a thing at Andrews. When Swain/Murphy/Robbinsville lineup against some of the big schools they play, no one particularly cares how "many" players are on the other team. Eleven lineup against eleven. Maybe the NCHSAA should create a 1/2 A division so we don't have to hear the crying concerning "how many" players Murphy/Swain have. I took a tour of Cherokee's facilities last night and let me tell you, it was impressive. They really have something to be proud of there. Now the key is to get all of their kids, whether its 15, 24, or 40 to buy into what their coach is building, and put in the work. The same goes for Andrews. You have a good coach, and a good JV coach. Buy in, work, and EXPECT to win.
Heard he went to hospital last night so prayers would be appreciated. Long night for the Braves but they never quit and im telling you the shock of losing Mintz sniwballed the first half. I think cherokee is much better than they showed just have hit a terrible stretch of injuries and a team with 25 players that's hard to overcome.
Really they were being dominated long before Mintz went out. Murphy was playing at a different level than they have all year. Combine that with the braves injuries and it made up for a long night.
I hate that the kid got hurt but the braves would have faired no better with him playing. Cherokee looked out matched and flat from the opening kick off .
Ok Mr Know it all. How many is in your school ? Have you ever played at a school that only dresses out 25 players ?Have you ever went up against a school that has double your enrollment, when you only have 285 kids in enrollment which you have to field enough quality athletes to compete against a bigger school ? Also these same few athletes play every sport at our school and cannot specialize in 1 or 2. Trust me, I am totally in with our new coach and every coach that we have had. I played here and my kids have played here and I was not making excuses just stating a fact that you will never understand unless you have played for a small school. Keep your preaching for someone else. I take your from Swain. When I played you were 2A along with Murphy and Franklin so you don't have a clue what it's like to be a Wildcat. Funny thing when it comes playoff time I hear the same schools make the exact same comment that I made when the Big 3 play bigger schools. It's double standards

Mintz went out right before the 2nd quarter started, maybe you are confused when he went out seeing how his younger brother is the back up QB. Also I'm not saying that cherokee would have won but I definitely believe they could have scored one or two more times than they did with him in a full game
They had negative yardage when he went out. The difference was just getting physically dominated at the line. You got 2 scores against basically the 3rd string. I don't think you were scoring against the 1st team with or without Mintz.
Cherokee came out absolutely flat. Murphy played like their azz was on fire from the beginning. Injury to Mintz definitely hurt the offense but didn't decide the outcome nor would have. Braves have talent, but as you say, no depth.
Yeah they did come out flat as ever. From what I heard it been a rough week for them. Coach Briggs was in hospital for several days. The starting lb/fb was in er Friday. Swimmer the best athlete on the team wasn't able to play. Then Mintz goes out very early. Looking like a bye week couldn't come at a better time
Clearly not the best week for all that to happen. Hopefully they'll get it all sorted out. I'm sure it would have been more competitive if they would been at full strength. I'm just hoping Murphy can have the same intensity at Big Oaks.
