Because we didn't get beat by basketball scores by them unlike some teams
??? If you are referring to our loss, I am sure, no positive, everyone in the SMC would have lost similar or worse to Christ School. Not a compelling argument.

I think this poster wants everyone to see who they lost against and their records..it's not about wins at Swain..it's how good the teams that beat them were ...or how many total yards or touchdowns a certain player has...and now he is getting major smoked in that category and every other category....No wait I'm sorry, he has more carries than anyone..guess he's back of the year.

Haha - Funny. Not even close. Actually it was to show that Rosman, Swain, Cherokee and Murphy has lost to some quality opponents. More impressive than Robbinsville’s wins. So Robbinsville fans get defensive. I wonder why?

All that bragging with no meat and potatoes behind it. Stats? What stats? Now that you mention it, any decent back in conference can have stats like that against 2-11 teams. Now that you brought it up what would those stats look like against 10-3 Teams. We will find out now that conference play is getting started. Beat Murphy and you will gain some respect this season. Let’s see those RB stats against a quality team for once. Not the stats after a team pulls their starters when it’s 40 something to 7 either....Christ School.

I’ll admit to the occasional outburst. Some is justified and others I admit to being a little quick on the trigger. I don’t think Anderson has to prove he is a great back or that R’ville needs to gain respect in the SMC. This entire post just explains that the entire SMC has wins against losing teams and losses against winning teams. It is entirely a mute point this early in the season and will not matter come conference.

Anderson is a very good back. I watched him develop in youth league even when he played QB. He is on his way to some good things. Not taking anything away from any of these kids. Fun to watch but not when he plays Swain lol.

You make no sense. Robbinsvilles loss was to a much more quality opponent than the opponents Swain,Murphy,Cherokee,and Rosman loss to..So now you are saying that all those losses are much more impressive than Robbinsvilles wins. You just cemented my statement. A loss is better than a win? You continue to amaze everyone on here with your post..I wish you continued luck with your quality losses.
Btw,Rabun Gap beats everyone else in the SMC except Murphy.

And to insinuate Anderson gets his yards against weak opponents is insane..The last game of the year last year we faced our toughest defense in Mitchell. Anderson rushed for over 200 yds. As a sophomore.

There's a lot of talk about Murphy and Robbinsville, as if this whole shebang is already predetermined. As bad as I hate to say it, I have a feeling that people on here are overlooking Cherokee. While I suspected that they would lose to SM, I will say that the fact that they kept it close and made it a ball game proves that they are not to be taken lightly, and could end up on top again this year in the SMC.
Totally agree except I don't see them winning the conference outright.. Maybe some kind of 3 way tie like last year. I can promise you that nobody in Graham County thinks this thing is predetermined..Even if Robbinsville pulls off some kind of miracle Friday night.. The top 4 teams are fairly evenly matched, with the exception of Murphy. I feel they are a touchdown or two better than the other 3 teams. I do feel that Robbinsville and Murphy have the most skill people in the conference, from quarterback, to kicker ,receivers and strong strong running backs. But to get our young guys to gel and get the confidence to beat a team like Murphy is a very tall task.

I always keep it real because I am a realist. I never said Swain’s losses were better than Robbinsville’s wins. I would take a win any day over a loss. Look at Swain’s Win vs a 0-4 team. I’ll take it! What I am saying is that Robbinsville has low quality wins (2-11) even more so than other SMC teams. Also known as a weak non conference schedule. I’m also not insinuating that Anderson is not a good back. He is a great back and a great kid. I am just saying that any good back in conference can put up great numbers against 2-11 competition. The Mitchell game was last season and with a much better Robbinsville line. Let’s see how that young line holds up against teams that have better lines this season. They have not seen a good d line yet other than Christ School 1st string. Believe it or not Tuscola and Smoky had very good D Lines. Probably more so than any D line in our SMC this season. Even over Murphy. As for a Swain back getting majored smoked I don’t think so. If our back runs for 408 vs 10-7 competition and Anderson runs for 509 vs 5-12 competition then I think that is equally as impressive if not better. Stats will come it’s only week 5 and it’s a long season. I’m not familiar with a “back of the year” award but if they gave it right now then Anderson would probably get it because of his stats despite the schedule. Why does anyone have to give such a detailed explanation to Robbinsville fans on here? Because they are so defensive of their stats or also known as the Anderson and Hooper bragging show. We get it...they put up impressive stats against low competition and/or Christ School second and third string. Good luck to Robbinsville and all other SMC teams. Hope all players stay healthy and give it their all every game. Good luck to all in the playoffs as well. Swain will see you at some point this season and I hope they play like they are capable of playing and our young talent will show what they can do. If they do then we are playing for 1st in conference. If they don’t then they are playing for third. My prediction would be Murphy Swain and Cherokee playing for first-third. Robbinsville playing for fourth. Everyone else playing for fifth,etc.

I'll just quote you so there is no question in what you said." Rosman, Swain, Cherokee and Murphy has lost to some quality opponents. More impressive than Robbinsville’s wins."
Robbinsville fans know it's going to be a up hill battle with our young line..The last time we started a sophomore line was 2014..How did that year work out for everyone? Good backs can make a medicore line look very very good.I think it's a pretty well known fact since 2014, Robbinsville has the best offensive line coach in the business..He will make players out of them.

Stats do not show the whole story. During these blowouts most starting backs are pulled at halftime or end of 3rd quarter. Also look at Murphy who has like 4 to 5 strong runners who interchange throughout a game and again if it is a blowout come out after halftime. It’s hard for a Murphy running back to be at the very top when they get limited amount of carries. I would say over the last few years if Murphy only used their top two running backs for the whole game they would lead the SMC in rushing. Just my opinion

In our one easy game our starting backs were pulled one drive into third quarter. Exactly! Not only Murphy but Swain too and now probably Andrews with running a veer offense. Swain’s top rusher only carries the ball 41.3% of the time.

Your right, it’s not only Murphy it’s every team once they get a big lead. My point about Murphy is they share the ball with 4 to 5 quality runners compared to the rest of the conference having one or two workhorses. I just wanted to point out sometimes the stats on who is the leading rusher does not always mean they are the best back. I better stop here before the Ncprep Police tell me i’m off topic for this post lmbo. Good luck to all this Friday

I said this before season started this would be the year of the running backs for SMC. I think there are multiple great running backs in SMC I can't and won't pick a favorite even based on stats. I think they all bring something different to the table that benefits their own teams. Good luck to all these young men. Conference games begin.

Amen. The SMC is always known for a strong running game. Conference play begins this Friday and it’s the TEAM effort and the Wins that matter.

Murray - McTaggart and Anderson - Hooper is close. I think what puts Murphy running game over the top is KJ Allen at fullback. Nobody else in the conference has someone quite like him. He is a battering ram and the first guy is never going to bring him down with those tree trunk legs.

Dont forget Roberts... He is actually one of my favorite backs to watch.
Roberts and Rathburn are great backups, good to have that depth. Would have loved to have seen the speed of Vining at wingback with this bunch, oh well

Hate my son didn't play one more year. Grateful though for the changes he has made. He's come a long way
Good to hear he is doing well. Your son had a lot of natural ability and talent. I remember him showing out as a freshman against a state championship Robbinsville team. Shame it didnt work out on the field but glad he is doing good off of it now, thats whats important.

Hayesville would of had a nice backfield with Krieger, McClure, and Smith. With injuries to Krieger and McClure put a lot of pressure on our offense but Smith, Cook, McTaggert and Hayden McClure have moved into different roles and stepped up pretty good! Hard for a 1A to handle losing both starting running backs! both were starting linebackers as well.

Well the good news for Hayesville is Kreiger, both McClures and McTaggart are going to be around for a while. Hayesville will have as good a skill players as anybody in the conference in 2019 and 2020. The real question is will they the line play to compete with top of the conference those years and Im not convinced.
