WHC week 7
- Thread starter MHHS"12
- Start date
Is Mitchell's QB back in the fold? Is Hendersonville's RB back in the fold? Looks like Heritage is getting better week by week.
Mitchell starting to play up to their potential, they flat out dominated polk , running clock early 3 rd . Mitchell has won line scimmage every game they have played , now the skill guys are coming on.
Hendersonville @ Madison- Hendersonville 63-14. Oh my, this will be ugly. I'm giving Madison a couple of TD's in garbage time against backups, but even that may be generous. Hendersonville is coming off a bye week and Madison is coming off giving up 43 to Mountain Heritage. Heading into this game, Madison is giving up a brutal 35.5 a game. Hendersonville on the other hand is averaging 32.8 against better competition than the Patriots have seen. The Bearcats have never been known for taking it easy on weaker opponents and seem to find pleasure in running the score up. Just ask East Henderson last year who they beat 68-0 and Avery who they scored an astonishing 78 against. Between Avery, Madison and Polk this year, I foresee the Bearcats scoring 70 on someone. Will this be the week? Only time will tell.
Owen @ Mitchell- Mitchell 28-20. This will be the game of the week in the WHC. Hendersonville has appeared to distance themselves from everyone else for the time being, but #2-#4 are very muddied. Up to this point, you could easily make a case for Mitchell, Owen or Mountain Heritage in any of those spots. This is a much improved Owen team and are coming off a convincing win against Avery. Mitchell on the other hand just embarrassed Polk on the road and appear to have their QB1 back. Numbers say Mitchell should win this game and I tend to agree. I expect their defense, them being at home and their improving offense to be too much for the Warhorses to overcome. There is a world where Owen wins this game, and I would potentially favor them at home, but asking them to go into Ledger and beat the Mountaineers is a tall order at this moment in their school's history. Expect a close game, but expect a purple win.
Mountain Heritage @ Polk- Mountain Heritage 44-21. Similar to last week against the Patriots, this should be another cakewalk for the Cougars. Many view Mountain Heritage and Mitchell as comparable teams this year, and Mitchell just blasted Polk out of NC and they landed somewhere in SC. The Cougars defense has seen it's ups and downs this year, so I'm expecting Polk to score once early on, and then to tack on another couple late in the 2nd half as the backups get some playing time. There is little reason to expect a competitive game here, and the Cougars should put up a similar score to the Mountaineers last week. In the event that the Wolverines do keep this game competitive, it will be centered around the Cougars being unable to stop Blackwell on the ground. However, I do not see a situation in which they keep the Cougars under 35.
Avery- Bye. Avery finds themselves at 3-3 on the year, and is probably a surprise to most of Newland. Typically by late September/Early October, the Vikings are already looking forward to basketball season. However, unfortunately for them their hurt may be in the mail. With their season being back loaded this year, games against Hendersonville, Mountain Heritage and Mitchell are still on the horizon. I hope Avery enjoys their time being a .500 team, because it is most likely coming to an end very soon.

At one point I thought Polk was better but I believe their game will be a nail biter that Avery comes out on top of. I think they have a couple athletes that Polk doesn’t have and they are tougher
Truth is Polk kills themselves not taking care of football and they let one mistake continue to snowball into others I think Owen and Mitchell are very close after seeing both play everybody has some injuries this time of the year polk played Mitchell down both starting corners who are also top 2 wideouts and one linebacker who has started don't think it would have made a difference just saying injury bug hits everyone if Polk takes care of the football they can hold there own turn it over like the last 2 games and it gets ugly fast.
4 lost fumbles once in the first half and first 3 possessions of the third quarter one on a kickoff all four Mitchell turned into touchdowns what game where u watching there even a write up on polk sports that describes it thats why the running clock in third 3 straight turnovers that lead to 21 points right out of the half
And to top it off broken coverage by one of the backups lead to the last touchdown in first half they took it 67 yards to house Mitchell was better but 4 turnovers are killer Mitchell lost one fumble early in game outside of that they played clean they where a better team but the game isn't so lopsided if you eliminate turnovers and broken plays as I said before polk hurts themselves by not taking care of football and big mistakes in coverage or otherwise
Bottomline your defense could not stop mitchell. If we didn't put subs in 3 rd we could have score 60 , that's one worst polk teams I have seen , looks like ollis needs come back. Also last touchdown for polk was against the backups.

Owen Warhorses prove it wrong!! We may not win but 7 points would be quite the accomplishment for Mitchell. If we play well Owen could very well walk away with a win. I actually think they will. In order for a program to know they have turned the corner, they have to beat someone they aren’t supposed to. If we win it’s an upset and I understand that. If we play well and still lose then I can deal with it. I just don’t want any what ifs

Who knows what will happen owen may beat us 28-7. Will admit owen is on the rise ,
The Hendersonville east game last year wasn't them just trying to just kill them. I remember a parent there posting on fb that they only had like 15 total offensive plays in that game. So there had to be defensive or special teams tds. As for the Avery game.. idk. Hendersonville will probably win going away. Madison just doesn't have the horses
Owen vs Mitchell will be over in an hr lol. No pass plays. Should be a physical game. Possibly close late but Mitchell pulls away.
Heritage vs Polk will probably be a 5-6 score game. Not sure if Polk will have the fire power to score.
I'll say one thing about Heritage, I'm not confident their defense could stop any team from scoring. With that said I think they should beat Polk by 2-3 scores. The WHC is down this year I could see Heritage finishing 1st winning their last 3 games or 4th losing their last 3 games all I know is I can't see them going far in 3a with their defense.

It's not. The reality is that the WHC has settled into it's current level for the past 10 years or so. We've reached a point where the conference isn't down, this is just what it has become. The new norm is that there is Mitchell, Mountain Heritage, Hendersonville and then a gap. Those teams flip-flop who is the current #1, but that is clearly the top 3 programs at this point in the WHC. For the time period Hendersonville was gone, Draughn took their place as the 3rd power. The conference this year I would actually argue is slightly better than usual, because Owen has came along a little bit and Avery has shown some life. Madison and Polk are no different than they have been for quite some time. When the dust settles, the top three will have remained unchanged. In short though, the conference is not down. The WHC is just not a strong conference anymore.
Conference is more competitive within itself than usual, but overall it's down. In the last 10 years both Mitchell and MH have made multiple deep runs in the playoffs and being competitive in those late rounds they lost. Mitchell even made it to a state championship game. I don't see either team making a run this year.
I think if mitchell gets all their players back, they have potential make deep run because they are 2a. . Hendo has very good qb and skill players , doesn't have the lineplay
You don't put up stats, scores and wins without a line. You don't hold teams to 7 without a line
Mitchell didn't have their qb and couple more starters, we outgain them . Bottomline we lost.

Top three teams aren't that good simply put, so yeah its down. Can you comprehend that or is that too complex lol?

The WHC has never been a great competitive football conference for as long as I can remember. Back in the 90s and 2000s it was Owen and a huge gap to most other teams about every season. In fact, most of the games weren't very competitive. Occasionally Mitchell or Avery would have a decent team but they usually were average or worse. Heritage (especially in the 1980s and early 2000s) and Madison won 2 to 4 games about every season.
The top of the conference teams are generally better not except for Owen. It's been the golden era for Mountain Heritage football and arguably Mitchell football the past 10-15 years.

Hendersonville didn't have their RB/LB either. So what are you saying lol. Is that the consolation? You out gained them lol? If you did, but you lost, it couldn't have been by much.
Context is everything. On both sides. If they scored more (which they did obviously) they had to have yards as well. Unless they had defensive or Special Teams scores. Did they?
No complexities at all. it kinda seems like you are projecting how you feel about the team you pull for on to other teams. Have you seen every down of every game for every team other than yours? Live? In stadium? If yes, please tell me how to do that.if no, stop speculating making up stuff about other teams that you haven't seen play lol
How good would Hendersonville be without their qb ? Everyone knows that's most important position, Everyone that attended the game knows it would h ave been different if riddle have played .
Hendo barely beat North Henderson, and yes I watched the game, North was without their best player and they barely beat Mitchell without their best player, Mitchell beat Robbinsville 14-13 Heritage beat them 14-11 so no it's not just my team lol I'm not trying to be rude but you were kinda rude first...
