Robbinsville in the advantage school bracket..lol

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

We will take a few advantages down with us.
If murphy goes 1aa Robbinsville will be a 3 seed and play Mitchell rd 3.

After seeing the Murphy and robbinsville scores Friday I think they are in serious trouble vs Mitchell. Highly overrated teams.

My goodness, someone that really knows football wouldn’t say this. Real football people know it is not about score comparison but rather about matchups on the field. Mag dumb for a small fee I bet some of the posters here on prep might be willing to offer tutorials on football. I venture that some would offer their services for free in an effort to help the handicapped.

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

Good lord, Murphy fans, don't take your magnum anger out on us Mitchell fans

 

[BD Warrior]

Posted a best of WNC poll on the 2A board. Wish we could split these boards up to three different sections because I follow all the mtn teams. I think it would be cool to have it split in too mountains, piedmont, and costal. Just my opinion.

 

[mrbud]

I just got done watching some mtn airy film they are very solid team, but mitchell and Murphy will give those guys trouble. Mtn airy better pray those 2 clubs go small 1a.

 

[Magnum45]

I think Mitchell played better teams so they got experience factor

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

Mount Airy' s line is young, and as East Surry proved, if you pressure Greene, then they lose 3/4 of their offense.

There is two Greene brothers and their stats are similar. Don’t forget about Smith. I guess it is time to lace up those boots.

And they wilted against a formidable opponent. Don't get me wrong, the bears are good, but they ain't the only show in town.

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

So, there is a chance Mitchell and Murphy could meet up in the 4th round. It would take both going big, and Mount Airy going small, but it's possible! Another poster said East Wilkes is at 490, that would likely make them small, but Murphy fans think they are around 480, and I think Mitchell is around 500ish. Gah, when are they gonna release those numbers?

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

I wish the state would decide whos 1aa or 1a at the start of the season.

 

[BEARMOD]

You (or someone from MA) said the same thing before the Murphy game last year. Just curious what you mean by “time to lace up those boots”?

It is time to lace up the boots and get to work.

 

[Old Mountaineer]

Yesterday NCHSAA released thier final numbers for each schools population numbers.. Mitchell 489 - Murphy 470 - and Mt Airy 542..So I assume Mitchell & Murphy will be in the 1A and Mt. Airy 1AA.

 

[bareman]

Bears will not be 1A for some time...enrollment keeps growing

 

[Old Mountaineer]

[SMC REDNECK]

NCHSAA has these rankings wrong in my opinion. Murphy out right SMC Champs. Mitchell just top finishing 1A in their split conference. No way that should be ranked higher than a out right Champion.

They go by Maxprep rankings which has Mitchell ranked higher. Looks like the higher ranking came because of strength of schedule

Mitchell 9-2 not a conference champ. Murphy 9-1, SMC champs, only loss to 2A Pisgah by 7 I believe. How can you rank Mitchell higher?

I'm not saying thier correct or not. Just that that's part thier formula and Maxprep had Mitchell's strength of schedule higher than Murphy's. Mitchell plays in a 2a/1a conference which helps with that plus they only loss the championship by a TD to 2A 3rd seeded MTN heritage. The other loss was to 3AA 6 seeded Erwin in a close game which was thier first game of the season with a young team that lost a lot of starting seniors and have improved a lot since that game. But whiter or not the ranking is correct I don't know I'm just glad that if Mitchell & Murphy gets to the 3rd round game that I don't have to travel 3 hours to Murphy.

Murphy has The Hill & Mitchell has the Mountain LOL. DANG that’s a long walk from the bottom of that parking lot up the mountain to the field !! This should be a monster of a game

 

[GreyGod623]

Mitchell better not overlook Cherokee. They won't give it to them.

 

[mbdfan_rivals121259]

Mitchell better not overlook Cherokee. They won't give it to them.

No way that happens after what occured last year, Mitchell will be looking to exact some revenge

 

[Old Mountaineer]

Mitchell better not overlook Cherokee. They won't give it to them.

That's why I stated IF Mitchell & Murphy get to the 3rd round, I don't over look anyone in the playoffs. And I don't think our coaches or players do either. Thing is the teams with a bye because of the extra week by the time they play it will be 3 weeks since they have played thier last game.

 

[knine1]

Murphy fans would be justified to just stay home for that mitchell trip and not let the nchsaa get thier ticket money...they already robbed the dogs once... I dont miss many games but probably sit that one out just on principal.....

 

[Old Mountaineer]

I made correction on my other post Mitchell & Murphy if they win would meet in the 3rd round not Western championship. And in my opinion ( which isn't necessarily worth anything) I believe in the other section Robbinville will win that part. Word from people in that area while they have a really good QB Thomas Jefferson Classical hasn't played anyone.

Why would they be justified on not supporting their team? Mitchell did nothing wrong?

 

[Old Mountaineer]

It's actually about cheaper for the schools that travel in the playoffs. Home teams are required to pay $270 per game for visitor meals and 75 cents per mile after 75 miles of travel. Plus nchsaa takes 15% of the gate and the visiting school get half the gate.

 

[Cdoc73]

The crazy thing is, Murphy would probably be a #2 seed in the 1aa playoffs. There’s really no good excuse/reason that makes sense for Murphy being seeded #3. It’s absurd.

You are correct, can't say schedule streghts, saw Pisgah got #1 seed, so.how was murhys schedule weaker

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

Well, Murphy was ranked below Mitchell.

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

In what poll besides maxpreps?

I get where you are coming from, but MaxPreps is the only one that matters.

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

Beats me. Even IF it was weaker, Murphy still won the SMC outright and had one less loss. Also, if Murphy had been rewarded a forfeit win over Greenwood (they should have!), this wouldn’t even be an issue. Not Murphy’s fault Greenwood ducked them.

And it's not Mitchell's fault, so don't blame them. Truth be told, TJ has no business being #1, so I could sit around and whine about not getting a #1 seed, but I aint.

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

I didn’t blame Mitchell and I sure ain’t whining! I’ll call BS when I see/smell BS though.

Ok. Well, good luck to the dogs, and hopefully we will meet up in the 3rd round

 

[Old Mountaineer]

I not sure but you can't just look at Murphy's schedule but Mitchell's as well. Mitchell plays in a 2a/1a conference so thier always playing bigger schools plus thier non-conference lost was a close game to Erwin who is #6 seed in 3AA and conference lost to MTN heritage #3 seed 2A. I believe the strength of schedule ratings were close and Mitchell was ranked just one position higher then Murphy.

 

[Old Mountaineer]

I'm sure Hibriten is having the same complaint about Pisgah right now. Hibriten is undefeated and Pisgah has one lost but again strength of schedule came into play. Pisgah head coach said that no one really understands Maxprep rankings he was just glad they came on top.

 

[Old Mountaineer]

And it's not Mitchell's fault, so don't blame them. Truth be told, TJ has no business being #1, so I could sit around and whine about not getting a #1 seed, but I aint.

Yeah I'm not sure how TJ under the ranking rules got #1. I mean Hibriten is 11-0 but they lost the #1 seed to 10-1 Pisgah because of strength of schedule. In fact the whole thing is confusing Hibriten ranked #1 but a str -7.6 Pisgah #9 a str 6.6 which would suggest they count a lot on strength of schedule. But in 1A Mitchell ranked #5 str -3.1 Murphy#6 str -13.3 TJ #7 str -16.3 so how did TJ get #1 seed?

I gave some wrong information i was looking at the Maxprep rankings not the adjusted rankings on the nchsaa site which has Pisgah ranked higher then Hibriten and TJ higher then Mitchell & Murphy
