Swain was not even ranked to begin the year..Robbinsville was 7 or 8th I think..Robbinsville also beat Smoky worse than Swain did..Please explain?
Theoretically aren't teams suppose to get better as the season goes on? I would argue and say Swain beat a better Smoky team than robbinsville played. Swain coulda easily beat Smoky by 3 scores just stalled out a few drives in the red zone. Held Frady to under 100 yards and played a better QB. None-the-less had more total yardage than Robbinsville did. Swain CREATED 5 turnovers against Life Christian Academy.........
Swain had game film from the week before..
Be careful with listing Swain as large 1A. Heard Con Met was shutting down the doors in a few months. This mean the trending down swing of enrollment numbers continues. Besides, we play whom is put in front of us and lay it on the line. And being a part of the SMC kinda justifies the questions. But it’s all good both team can decide it on the field this year again. It is nice to know that Swain did bring home one of those 1AA titles and made to another. Better than most when lining up with schools having adm’s near or over 900 kids those years. Looks like the SMC is much improved over last season.
Erwin has size and speed, but their line play doesn't really jive. This is a dangerous game for Robbinsville. Erwin's QB is young, but has a lot going for him. Don't know his official stats, bit he looked to be 6-2 or 3, around 210-220. Good arm, had flashes of goodness while scrambling. If he can avoid the Knights d long enough to find a receiver, they can move down field in a hurry. Erwin has had a tougher 2 games than Robbinsville has, so they are a little more battle tested. All that being said, I think Robbinsville pulls this one out. Erwin has nice facilities, I like watching games where there is no track around the field. Beware tho, Erwin players tend to get dirty when frustrated, and I know that some of the Knights players can be hot headed. Should be nothing like the circus last week tho.
Well said Mountie...Erwin is a dangerous team right now and you can bet that they will be ready Friday night, but at the same time if Robbinsville can play to there ability all 4 quarters they win 24 to 14 so now sence i am predicting this outcome Erwin will probally win.this season to me is hard to figure out..I do think Robbinsville will have a say in who comes out of the 1a west .but I think Mitchell is the team to beat ,but they can be beat .just like any other team.
Tell us again how Murray is soft and cant be compared to Anderson, Sain or Hooper. 40 carries 356 total yards and 3 TDs through two games. Pretty sure he has the most rushing yardage in the conference and running behind a line still coming together after they lost their standout interior lineman to a torn ACL.
We'll see how he holds up. All of his yards against Pisgah were on one run and only 2 TDs were rushing.
Take away that run and he still averaged 4 yards a carry against a run defense that's better than anything he'll see in the SMC. And that 80 yard run never happens if he was "soft" like you claimed, he didnt go down and kept his feet moving until he broke free.
