I agree. Can’t have mistakes by your QB in big games. Hopefully we can run the ball down team’s throats and control “when” we pass the ball (that always helps a QB look good) but that may not always be the case. QB has got to be on his game and be able to win us a big game at some point too.
That O-line didn't stand a chance against Reynolds. Without Clem and needing to get points late he was scrambling for his life every play.

That o-line pushed Reynolds around in the first half of that game. Hell Murphy dominated the first half of that game and really should have had it wrapped up by halftime. Two things kept that ftom from happening….turnovers and injuries. Reynolds was very fortunate to win that game.

Sure Reynolds had a very good pass rush, what about against Robbinsville? Murphy o-line gave the QB ton of time most of the night against the Knights.

There’s only 23 teams listed in the RPI in entire 1A…how are they going to format the playoffs? Will every team have 2 bye weeks before it starts?

With 1A and 8A I wish they would just move the playoffs up a week and play them at the same sight on a Saturday so that the other six games could work out a simpler schedule for the next week.

Every 1a will have a week one bye I think.
Then the top seeds will have a week 2 bye.
32 playoff spots in 1a. Reduced one week from six to five rounds.

N. Duplin was in the West bracket one year. Absolutely insane.
It's hard for me to see anyone beating Wilson Prep in the East.

I believed the state announced that the playoffs would begin the same week as everyone else and they incorporate a bye week sometime in the playoffs. That would prevent several teams with 2 or less wins from having to practice for 2 weeks .

That actually makes the most sense

No, just curious why a person wants to shame a bunch of kids who show up and put the same amount of hard work in, if not more, as everyone else?? You think it’s bad football, yet you’ve obviously never been to a big time SMC game or you would most definitely know better.

I'm only shaming you middle aged cheerleaders

The fact that Robbinsville will cakewalk to the semifinals or even the finals means that a 1A title means far less than the championships earned with much, much tougher competition in the bigger classifications. You act like the lack of competition in 1A doesn't mean anything but, of course, it does. 1A IS bad football when you only have one or two good teams, and we all know it. There's no need for you to keep pretending like you don't.

And don't you wish your team could do it. You sound bitter and jealous. Why are you so concerned?

And you act like it’s our fault!?? It’s definitely jealousy! A pisgah fan who knows winning a title is pretty much out of the equation lol. We play a loaded schedule every year and the fact that you know it tells me all I need to know. Just a hater of our success! It may be the kiddie pool, but the big fish in it are good enough to beat plenty of 4/5 schools and prove it year in and year out. Nobody bashing Tarboro for their success after moving down are they??

You've answered your own question. My jealousy and bitterness have led to me post the truth we all know but dare not speak of... that 1A football is a joke outside of Robbinsville.
