Murphy won but #8 (their best back in my opinion) hurt his knee or ankle opening kickoff 2nd half and is probably done for the year, can't see them coming out of the 2A west without him

West Wilkes 23 starmount 20 final. Wonder if that was offensive coordinators fault lol
Rville looks to be well on their way to a title game.
Murphy not so much considering the teams standing in their way. They will have to play a lot better.

Actually Starmount had over 300 yards but 3 big turnovers did the Rams in. I give credit to WW for a good game.
Murphy isn't world beaters. They lucky to win at home. Murphy at Swain should be a good one week 11.
If #8 is done for the year Murphy won't beat Swain. Murphy's D is good, Robbinsville didnt do anything offensively that wasn't aided by Murphy penalties, but right now the Murphy offense just isn't where it needs to be
Throwing the ball up four with less than two minutes did them in. If they just run the ball and punt i doubt West wilkes drives down field to beat them.
That call by the interim OC was way worse than anything Monty called. It's like he purposely gave the game away. That may be the dumbest play call I've seen in years
Don’t understand why people couldn’t just trust Monty and be quiet instead of forcing the guy to resign even though through the years he’s proven how good of a coach he is. Especially leading many successful programs
South Davidson goes 7-0. Not world beaters necessarily, but by far the best start in program history. Footnote: with four former Thomasville coaches.
I was expecting more from Murphy considering what all they had coming back and the hype for this season. Doesn’t look to be on par with past Murphy teams that won it all.
That goes for Rville too. They don’t have the high end talent that their state level teams have had either. But they they will be hard to beat in the current 1a landscape.
When isn’t that the case (Murphy penalties helping Robbinsville)?? That seems to be a recurring theme anytime those teams play.
As for the offense, Murphy just needs to run the dang ball, with the occasional pass to #3 just to keep defenses honest. Too many good backs and too good of an OLine to be airing it out so much.
Lucky to win?? Murphy penalties throughout the game and spotty play calling on that first drive of the game (Murphy came up empty when they for some reason started throwing the ball after running it down Rvillle’s throat on that drive) kept Robbinsville in it, not to mention that clear as day fumble on the kick return that white hat took away for some reason after Murphy went up 9-7. Also, Murphy played the entire second half without #8 on the field (got hurt on second half kickoff) and still won. Oh, and Murphy’s starting kicker didn’t play at all last night. Don’t think luck had anything to do with Murphy winning. Murphy was actually unlucky last night in a lot of ways.

No need to worry about Murphy now. Robbinsville and Murphy won’t see each other again until next season. Different playoff brackets now. Not sure how I feel about that.
Well if Robbinsville wins the 1a title, Murphy can get some shirts saying they beat the 1a champ.
Ok I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll put it right beside Robbinsville’s 2025 SMC Champs shirt.
Typical Murphy/Robbinsville game ,penalties hurt both teams at crucial times, that game you just win no matter how ugly.
Robbinsville would never make shirts if they wasn't Champs. Now if Swain beats Murphy all three have equal claim.
I agree completely. #10 is what he is as a player and when he's asked to simply keep the defense honest, he does an ok job in that role. But the ball was in his hands far too often last night and we all saw the results...
How's #8 doing Otis? Any chance he's back before the playoffs?
Not sure what game you were watching! Everybody not pulling for Murphy will most likely tell you different. The call on the slip screen from “the lady” 40 yds away was huge. She talked another ref out of his call, and then not knowing where to spot the ball?? We got a facemask call is pretty much it. And as for your kicker, how many days has he been on the team?? Curious minds would like to know!
