Haven't seemed to do that as much this year, but it would be a nice playoff tribute to Dean Smith.Originally posted by BravesGWY:
Wonder if rville will employ it's famous offense ?
their conference position would be the same imo. They might've been one or two lines higher, really it doesn't change much as far as their seed goes, just makes them a much weaker opponent.Originally posted by Alleghany84:
If their best player didn't tear his acl then they would not be a 17 seed, so exactly what is your point.
What makes you so certain Avery is going to beat Hayesville? What makes you so certain Alleghany is better than them?Originally posted by Alleghany84:
What exactly is your point about Albemarle playing MA Bishop and Prep last year. You played Prep in the regionals and sorry but MA and Bishop have different teams last year than this year. The point is that 4 of the best 7 teams along with Albemarle, MA, and Avery are in the same sectional in my opinion. You should be happy, your team should make it to Winston without being tested all year. You have to wonder though how well this route will have prepared you. Someone will come out of that bottom sectional having survived some serious tests, and whoever it is will know how to handle the pressure.
Albemarle will win the top sectional, Mt Airy will win the next sectional, Avery will win the next sectional, and your guess is as good as mine on the bottom sectional, but it will be fun no doubt. I will even stretch as far as to say that the West regional champion will come out of that bottom sectional, but if not they sure knocked out some good teams that others did not have to play.
As far as not knowing who Hayesville is played, maybe you should educate yourself then before declaring who the top teams in the 1A west are. Hayesville has played the likes of 4A Raleigh Broughton (22-2 and the 12th ranked team in North Carolina), 4A Gainesville Johnson (28-0 and the 30th ranked team in Georgia) this year in non conference and even managed to play Gainesville Johnson to a 10 point game. I can promise there's nobody in the 1A west that is going to show them anything they haven't already seen in non conference.Originally posted by Alleghany84:
It is a little hard to form a real strong opinion because
you guys in the corner of the state do not play teams that the rest of
us know other than your conference opponents and the little smoky guys.
If it is a bad thing to win when you are supposed to what does it mean that Hayesville did not beat a very average Cherokee team.
Good to see a murphy fan on here talking basketball by the way. You guys must get along a lot better up there than we do down here because you would never catch me on here defending a conference rival.
Amen. Preach it brother!!!As far as not knowing who Hayesville is played, maybe you should educate yourself then before declaring who the top teams in the 1A west are. Hayesville has played the likes of 4A Raleigh Broughton (22-2 and the 12th ranked team in North Carolina), 4A Gainesville Johnson (28-0 and the 30th ranked team in Georgia) this year in non conference and even managed to play Gainesville Johnson to a 10 point game.

In what world is a 20 - 2 team that has multiple wins over 2A and 3A playoff teams "very average"? I'm afraid you're quite wrong on Cherokee being average, they're a good basketball team with lots of speed and athleticism in the backcourt and on the wing and would put up a good fight against anyone in 1A on a good night. Cherokee's wins over East Rutherford, AC Reynolds and Hayesville are better than any win Alleghany has this season according to Maxpreps.
SMC conference foes don't like each other but we do respect one another. I'm just sick of some people on here who really know nothing about the conference or the competition they have or haven't played get on here and completely write them off like it's going to be a walk in the park when their teams plays a Hayesville or Cherokee, etc.
