No one can help it. Next to impossible for Robbinsville, Swain, and Murphy to get games against legitimate opponents. Smoky Mountain, Fannin County GA, Gilmer County GA, and Hendersonville all dropped Murphy in last few years. Union County GA, Tiwnes County GA, Copper Basin TN and South Pittsburg TN just won't schedule Murphy. So thus year it's two terrible teams like North Georgia plus a five hour ride to Central Davidson.Murphy has played them more than us. They have 4 SMC teams on the schedule. This is Robbinsville 2nd year playing them. Should be the last year for us.
When will this Maxpreps nonsense stop? It’s already bit every sport in the butt. I think it should only matter in conference or league play.
With this young team, nothing is for sureCould be a bad week for the SMC. A very good chance that Robbinsville is the only team that will win for sure !!
Especially when we have to play non-traditional schools like these. You never know how this team may look. They might be totally different the following year. I mean we smacked Christ School good at first! They were pitiful now the only ones who look pitiful is their opponents.With this young team, nothing is for sure
We all hope were wrong. Its just gonna be tough.
Good, hopefully we won’t miss our tackles then.North Georgia Quarterback listed on Maxpreps as 6'8". 240lbs
Ouch.
I'm sure theyll do right by the boys, but theres no way I'd play McTaggart or Roberts the rest of non conference unless they are for sure 100%.Does Murphy rest some of nicked up players?.

Murphy 35 - Franklin 14 Final
Always happy to be wrong when it means a Bulldog win. Murphy looked much better up front tonight, just too strong in the trenches for the Panthers. Another top performance from the 'Dogs defense, Murphy had 3 or 4 interceptions and dominated the line of scrimmage. If 'Dogs can find a passing game, look out.
Really hope #28 Murray is ok, hurt his ankle in the 3rd quarter and never came back in, can not afford to lose him.
I think it was fair to be pessimistic considering the injuries, great to see Roberts back out there tonight, Slade too even though it was pretty obvious he's still nursing that ankle.I'm not even gonna try to pick games anymore this year. It's been a crazy few weeks.
I know Smoky Mountain is very much improved over last season, but there's no way they're 50 points better than Swain. I don't even know what to say about that, it's unfathomable to me that a Swain coached football team would lose that bad to anyone.
I'm assuming that Swain fans are in full meltdown mode after the last two weeks.
Sometimes an a** beating can be a good thing. Murphy got punked by Franklin at home in 2016 and they responded by gut stomping everyone the rest of the way on their run to a state title.Too early for meltdown mode, especially with a team with only 9 seniors. But that's either a serious wakeup call, or the first step down a long, hard road.
