PEE WEE MICS Raptors

[PoBlackman]

Howdy RichBlackman! This is your cousin Po from Gaston county. Looks like you may have disappeared for a while...maybe took a trip up to Cherokee to play some slots. A few of us kin made it over to Avondale last Friday night to watch your D1 Athletes and World's Best Coach take on them Griffuns (what is a Griffun anyway?). Kinda surprised that only about 50 of your fans showed up for that big game...you would think they would want to see them D1 Athletes. Ma said you had more Assistant Coaches on the sidelines than fans in them stands!

Well, I'm tellin' you son, those littl' Griffuns sure seemed really mad that you said their Coach didn't care about his players or didn't help them play in college. Turns out, that litt'l ol' school has just as many youngun's playing football in college as the Raptors. But, they don't go around braggin' about it all the time. In fact, they said they are proud of ALL their players, whether they go to college or not.

Them Griffuns were beatin' and stompin' those D1 Athletes all over that yonder field. Your World's Best Coach kept on trying to run that #5 at em' and he kept takin' hit after hit after hit. He got so plum tuckered out that they had to carry him off that field. I think that #5 and #1 both wish they had some of them big ol' boys at South Point, East Gaston or Hunter Huss to protect them but they trusted that World's Best Coach. Did you know that World's Best Coach allows boxin' competitions on the sideline between the players and coaches...that is some smart thinkin'. I betcha those MICS teachers and Athletic Director are plum proud of all the money they spend on that D1 Football program with that perty field and fancy jerseys!

After watching them Raptors, I think they should change their name to the PEE WEE MICS Raptors. Them boys just like those PEE WEE teams where the one coach recruits all the best talent in the county. They thinks they are so great cus' they beatin' up all them' lit'l PEE WEE teams, run up the score, throwin' bombs in the 4th quarter and braggin' about it. Then, they come up against a well coached team like them Yellow Jackets or Griffuns and your D1 Athletes go home with their tails between their legs. Pa told me that your D1 Athletes and World's Best Coach have never won a single conference championship. I told him that couldn't be true since you have all them D1 Athletes and only play them Mighty Mites in the 1A class.

Well, got to get back to work...I know you don't take kindly to us hard workin' folk who didn't play football in college but we will still say a prayer for ya!

You better hope not! In cold weather the games are won in the trenches. MICs had trouble against the 2 teams that were better in the trenches.

You keep saying the same crap. Those bad snaps are not the reason your "D1 Running Back" got held to only 15 yards on 10 carriers. Those bad snaps are NOT the reason, your little D1 Running Back couldn't handle another hit from #64. Those Bad Snaps are not the reason your QB was held to 98 yards passing, most of that coming late in the 2nd half. Those mistakes hurt you, those bad snaps might be the reason TJ won by 18 points, but they are not the reason TJ won the game. TJ's defense played great. TJ's secondary didn't give your QB many open receivers to throw to. TJ's front 7 limited MICS running game to 102 yards on 21 attempts. TJ's 283 yards rushing was not caused by the bad snaps. That is the reason TJ won the game, not because your backup center was a bad snapper.

Terrible but funny. You speak of all the MICS D1 Athletes. Don't under sell TJ and BC they have several D1 athletes as well. I will add CSD QB to that list too. The difference is our "young world class coach" does a great job making sure those players get recruited. Now if you want to go on a tirade about it fine have at it.

Camp remember that Cherokee is ranked 143 a lost to Murphy at 156 will not cause a huge dip in Cherokee rankings. It would move Murphy up. If TJ currently ranked 160 beats Union Academy at 275 you guys might not move past Cherokee. This could cause a #4 seed. I'm just guessing at this since this year things are based on Maxpreps rankings.

 

[Deana_King_rivals106402]

Some schools have assistants that go way out of their way to help these kids. MIC does have some good ones that are always telling me about their visits. Some schools don't have that kind of coach for whatever the reason being.

Just like in the high school football book I did....I had some schools send in everything I needed, then some that didn't send in anything or didn't want to participate.

 

[Kevin2346]

Thomas jefferson will be seeded higher than either murphy or cherokee bc thomas jefferson will be a 1 seed. And either murphy or cherokee will be a 2 seed no matter whether they are higher in maxpreps or not

Deana this is my point. You have posters ripping mics coaches for not winning a conference championship. It's not all about winning for them. Not to mention they're not doing bad in that dept either. These men do a great job finding a fit for players after school and it's not always D1, D2, D3. They have several former players in the military, trade school and one helping build ships for our US NAVY. They advocate and promote the players which you know can help a kid chances of getting exposure.

 

[Smoking Gunz]

No so fast. If Cherokee beats Murphy this week that would make the braves 11-0 and undisputed SMC champions. I don't see how they wouldn't be the top seed if they do that. Cherokee has played a tougher schedule than TJA too.

Nole your right on. The seeding will be off Maxpreps rankings. Say Murphy at 156 beats Cherokee at 143. Cherokee will not drop much and Murphy will move up. TJ is currently 160 and beating Union Academy at 275 should move them up over Cherokee or Murphy. Remember we're dealing with a computer this year. So it could easily look like 1. Mitchell 2. Murphy 3. Cherokee 4. TJ. Again I could be wrong but I'm looking the Maxpreps formula

 

[Smoking Gunz]

Thomas jefferson will be seeded higher than either murphy or cherokee bc thomas jefferson will be a 1 seed. And either murphy or cherokee will be a 2 seed no matter whether they are higher in maxpreps or not

BC is not in small 1a. Thomas Jefferson is 160, Cherokee is 143 and Murphy is 156. How would TJ be ranked higher than both. If Murphy loses to Cherokee they will but if Cherokee loses I still don't see TJ being ranked higher than Cherokee. TJ plays a 275 team. That won't get you a enough points to move past those teams unless Murphy loses.

 

[Smoking Gunz]

I hate letting computers decide things. If Murphy beats Cherokee, I think your top four looks correct. If Cherokee wins, I think they would edge Mitchell (who has a loss) for the top spot.

I hate the format too.

 

[Kevin2346]

The seeding process goes 1.) All 1 seeds from their individual conferences placed in order by their maxpreps rankings. Then the next group goes 2.) All 2 seeds from their individual conferences placed in order of their maxpreps rankings 3.) all wildcards seeded by maxpreps rankings. Since thomas jefferson is 1 seed in their conference they will be ranked they will be seeded higher than either murphy or cherokee whoever is 2 seed from conference.

 

[Kevin2346]

it isnt possible for murphy and cherokee to both be seeded higher than thomas jefferson due to the way the rules are set up. Thats what i Meant Nole. Obviously cherokee would be seeded higher if they beat murphy.

Ok I could be wrong here but I was looking at it strictly by the maxpreps rankings

If there is a 3 way tie for the conference, if Murphy beats Cherokee, does that still apply though?? How exactly will that be dealt with.

I know I'm biased, but IMO if TJ does win Friday night, finishes 7-0 in their conference, and 11-0 on the season, they should be ranked in front of Murphy and/or Cherokee if Murphy wins. If Murphy loses, then there shouldn't be any question, and Murphy will likely be the 4 seed and TJ the 3 seed...

 

[dmcamp]

Ok I could be wrong here but I was looking at it strictly by the maxpreps rankings

"Each conference gets a certain amount of automatic bids, based on the number of teams (1-4 teams = one bid; 5-8 teams = two bids; 9 or more = three bids). MaxPreps ranking is how the conference champions will be seeded, as well as the conference runner-ups and the third-place teams. A second-place team cannot be seeded higher than a 1-seed, a third-place team can’t be seeded higher than a runner-up and a wild-card can’t be seeded ahead of anything but other wild-cards.

Wild-card selections are done entirely based on MaxPreps ranking. If you’re a 4A or 1A bubble team, it’ll be important to stay about No. 48; if you’re in 2A or 3A, the number is No. 64 (though automatic bids could go to teams ranked lower, which would move the wild-card cutoff higher)." -- Charlotte Observer

The Maxpreps factor in strength of schedule.

If I'm not mistaking if Murphy beats Cherokee wouldn't they share the title. Again I'm not sure about this because it's a new format. I hope you guys get the top seed but based on the maxpreps computer I don't see you guys getting the #1 seed over both in any situation.

 

[Smoking Gunz]

Yes. If Murphy beats Cherokee then the SMC would end in a three way tie at the top (Swain, Murphy, Cherokee). Swain will likely go 1aa.

Gotcha

 

[Fightin4Braves]

Man richblack!! Not sure if you know or understand this but mics can't always have tha shoe on and be doin tha kickin!!
