Murphy needs a game

cannon isn't in the same discussion as trinity or the Carolina Wildcats. They are a private school, just Like Christ School. Both are coached by former NFLers, both have an unlimited nationwide talent pool. Cannon is in its infancy, whereas Christ has been around for ages. I don't mind the matchup with cannon, because they will be a force in a few more years. Plus it gives 2 old teammates a chance to coach against each other, and that always makes for a better game.
Also, last year was the first year playing any of those schools. Don't forget, Mitchell isn't a yearly powerhouse yet. We have established ourselves, but not hardly there. This upcoming season will tell us a lot about the future of Mitchell football. (and I'm expecting another 10-win season and hopefully another deep run)
It doesn't matter if you're a powerhouse or not, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the harder your non-conference schedule is the more prepared you are for the playoffs, its why mitchell lost to cherokee this year. We had only played 1 tough game all year and we had no idea how to deal with the pressure.
Would love to play Mnt. Heritage , but we are in pretty serious negotiations with South Pittsburg Tenn. , but its still not a done deal.
Thought Cherokee did good job of evening out nonconf gimmies to stay healthy. Rough on a school with 25 players playing in smc
