Well then lol

 

[vikandpirate4christ]

I’m assuming they are banking that eventually someone is going to knock us off??

four titles in the last five years, two Ls in that span, one being to another 1A team.
They’ve gotta be banking on us not being able to keep it going

Yeah they have some kind of formula they use. Let’s see how it turns out.

Why is Swain even anywhere close to this list right now?!

 

[Tarboro Vikings fan 2018]

I guess MaxPreps is tired of tarboro winning lol. It's cool, embrace being a underdog

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Because it's MaxPreps and calpreps.

fyn has Swain next to last in SMC.

Along with edenton as well. Looking at the weather though we might get a slight delay cuz they're calling for thunderstorms around 6:00 p.m.

Will find out about Robbinsville next Friday.
We play 4a Asheville at Asheville. They are ranked around 20th in state 1a-4a.
According to MaxPreps.

They lost their qb who was practically their only hope against Robbinsville last year

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Yeah they have a freshman QB this year.

Tarboro should be #1 until somebody knocks them off. MA is very young and probably ranked too high for now. Barring injuries and if a few inexperienced position players (LB/S/DL) continue to develop, then this could be a fun season.

I'd say Tarboro 1st toss up between Mitchell and MA for 2nd and Andrew's at least a 6?

Robbinsville is a top 5 team

Because even the lowest seeded team in the SMC has been known to go 3rd or 4th round roughest conference in the state

My honest opinion is that based on what I saw from Mitchell in the state championship game against Tarboro i don’t think there’s any reason for them to be ranked ahead of Tarboro with what Tarboro has returning.

However, I did read an article about Mitchell planning passing the ball more this year so maybe by the end of the year I’ll have a different opinion.

I haven’t seen Mount Airy since 2017 so I don’t really know what they have now.

Mitchell only has a short pass game so I don't see them throwing it much unless they find another qb

 

[bigtime_87]

Until someone beats Tarboro in December for the title the polls do not matter. I am sure a few SMC schools will be in the hunt as well.

Honestly if MA had any discipline we wouldn't have advanced I think they may face you at state, just my opinion or possibly a SMC team, Mitchell ain't got the horsepower this year

 

[TarVikes]

This biggest wildcard to me is Eastern Randolph. Last year everybody was saying they were the favorite, and then they laid an egg against Murphy and now nobody mentions them.

Watch out for Andrew's may be there best team in school history could possibly emerge in the 1 seat in the west

 

[Tarboro Vikings fan 2018]

In my opinion the 1a west is wide open. Mitchell will be strong again, but I ain't forgot about Eastern Randolph or Mount airy.
