Maxpreps shows Erwin only had 18 rushing yds. It doesnt show anything for passing though but I think it was 300+. Most before the halftime

Erwin had some speed, most of their rushing yards on us came on a standard up the gut. They made most of those yards on 3 or 4 plays. They weren't able to run the outsides, Mitchell's defense held there, which is something the Mountaineers have struggled with for several years. Sounds like Robbinsville finally put 4 quarters together against a decent opponent. Y'all play Rabun next week?

Whe I saw Robbinsville at Canton 7 on 7 I said they were going to have a good year. So far they have proved me right.

Could be good game. I was surprised at the Franklin score last night. Is Rabun that improved or is Franklin just that down?
Hard to say, would be just a guess. But if I was to guess , I believe Franklin may be down last year same three teams they were 2 -1 this year 0-3 and so far Asheville doesn't look any better then last year. The other team Rabun in the first game played looking at their record and the other teams they've played to far not so sure how good they are and Providence day who was 5-6 last year but possibly improved this year beat them last week 43-7, so they so far look about the same maybe a little better then year. Only time will tell. But right now especially playing there I believe they'll lose next week to Robbinsville.

Rabun also gave up 35 pts to Franklin who only scored 7 on Murphy. It's all about the matchups.

To the point about matchups: Franklin could run on Rabun Gap more, but not as much on Murphy. We also didn't crap out in the red zone like we did against Murphy either. Rabun Gap scores in seconds or not at all, where Murphy put together some long classic wing-t drives. Rabun Gap also possesses Franklin's kryptonite, long tall receivers that can get behind man coverage and a QB to put the ball in their hands.

Rabun Gap is good, big and talented. I know nothing of Erwin except what I've read in that article and their previous scores, but I feel like Rabun Gap is going to present a bigger problem than Erwin did.

Franklin had a RB rush for 200yds I heard. If so Rabun isnt going be able to stop our rushing game. Rabun has never came close to beating us at Big Oaks. I guess we find out Friday one way or the other.

Franklin rushed for over 350 yds. This could be a high scoring shootout..we just need to do our long time consuming drives and keep them off the field as much as possible. If we can stop 3 or 4 of their drives we can win.

This game is a tough game to pick IMO. I definitely think rville will be more physical but i agree this could end up being a shoot out.

Well looks like it's comes down to Robbinsville's ability to defend the pass. From the looks of the Providence day and Franklin game , they don't have much of a defense and I believe Robbinsville won't have any trouble running against them. Their offense seems to be pass first 31 attempts vs 20 rushing against Franklin. But if they can't pass against Robbinsville the game might be closer to the Providence day game then the Franklin.

At Robbinsville RG only averages 13 points a game and gives up 43. The closest game at Robbinsville was 14 points in 2015. (36-22).

At Rabun they average 19ppg and give up 41ppg. Clostest games was 2014 a 45-39
Come from behind win for us and last year a 43-34 come from behind win.

Im still in awe that Erwin's sterile offense scored twice the points on Robbinsville than Mitchell and Heritage combined, and that was after 2 starters quit after the Heritage game. What was Erwin and Robbinsvilles yardage totals?
Mitchell had 393 yards to erwins 149
Heritage had 278 yards to erwins 206

I simply was making a statement about how surprised I was that we were able to score that many points..wasn't taking a dig at anyone..Mitchell gets cranky with the SMC the closer they get to November.

Nothing really to be in awe about as far as Erwin. I didn't see the Mtn Heritage game so why I don't know why more points wasn't scored but as far as Mitchell they played a sloppy first half maybe due to being the first game of the year but for whatever reason they did at least offensively with some dropped balls and especially four fumbles one on the Erwin 4 and another on the Erwin 1 and one on thier own 13 which lead to Erwin's only score. I assume Robbinsville which looks like a good team played a cleaner game.

You guys act like Erwin is good, this is the worst Erwin team in a decade. They will be lucky to win 2 games.

I don't believe the discussion was about Erwin being any good but a comparison of how Mitchell ,Mtn Heritage and Robbinsville played against them and I was just stating if not for shooting themselves in the foot Mitchell should have beaten them worst. Erwin's sophomore QB does look like he's athletic enough and if coachable could improve as the season goes and if he does I see 3 games later in the season they could win.

They should beat North Henderson and Enka by 3+ scores, Tuscola and TCR are both extremely winnable games, and I’m not so sure they can’t beat North Buncombe or Asheville, so that’s potentially 6 games right there, you’re high on Owen after a 35-3 loss to Reynolds but I’d say if Erwin played Owen this Friday they’d beat them by at least two scores, give some credit to Heritage, Mitchell and Robbinsville the tougher teams won, Buncombe County still produces more talent than any of the other WNC counties combined, football players is what they’re having trouble producing.

Don't pay him no mind. He claims to be a Heritage fan, but he only shows up to kiss an Owen fan's ***. Erwin isn't what they were last year. We all know that. But they are a school of 1500, in an area full of athletes, that got beat soundly by schools with enrollments of 660, 480, and 360. These were good quality wins for Heritage and Mitchell, and a damn good win for Robbinsville. A.C. Reynolds beat Owen by 32 points, and A.C. isn't as good as they were last year. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Mitchell, Heritage, Swain, Robbinsville, Murphy, West Henderson, and Hendersonville are all at least as good as Reynolds this year, if not better. Sadly, the only one we will know for sure is West Henderson.

Mitchell usually playing their jv schedule, it will get real in few weeks when they play the champs. Reynolds would destroy mitchell, just like heritage does every year lol.
