See if we can't get some action going on this board. School is finishing up and football is right around the corner.
Thoughts on the JV season next year? Does Murphy lose the top spot? They haven’t lost many JV games in the past several years? Does Robbinsville take over? Does Andrews make a push? This group for Andrews won a lot of youth football games and cracker bowls.
My preseason predictions…
Robbinsville – They were fun to watch last year. Seemed to get better every game and peaked at the end beating the preseason favorite in Swain handily. Would have loved to saw another game with them and Murphy. The first game was really a tale of 2 halves with a defensive TD for Murphy at the end of the first half being the difference. Which Murphy will say they let up and of course Rville says they didn’t get started on time. Big question for them is Williams, is he playing? Everyone I have asked or tried to get some info from is not saying a word.
Murphy – Always solid and bring back several players that got valuable time last year. I just don’t think they have the answer for Williams next year and I am assuming it will be in Robbinsville this year if JV schedules rotates like varsity. They have to replace the quarterback and he was the difference in the rville game. He made a couple big time plays and without that I think Robbinsville would have won that game.
Andrews – I was torn with this spot. Could they sneak up and steal the second step? I think so but just couldn’t do it at this time. This is not youth football and depth starts to matter once JV rolls around. Lineman need to be able to take some plays off or you fade in the 2nd half.
Swain – Last season was supposed to be their year but things just didn’t work out. They have a lot of freshman to replace this season.
Hayesville – Had some freshman moved up last year that could of made for a better JV season. Injuries also hurt in some situations. One good looking RB in Gillis but he will need some help to move up the ladder. If he even stays around.
Cherokee – Had good numbers last year and good looking bodies but just couldn’t get anything going in the couple games I watched.
Rosman – Things were rough last year for Rosman and don’t expect much better this year either.
