Did anyone else find it odd that ACT ranked Robbinsville ahead of Swain this week? Not that it matters of course I just found it odd since Swain handled the Atlanta team a little easier than Robbinsville did.
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?Did anyone else find it odd that ACT ranked Robbinsville ahead of Swain this week?

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 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?

The Robbinsville/Erwin game is a tough pick for me.. Robbinsville can't seem to find its flow.. The guys should be in shape now.We need or finest 11 on the field 90% of the time. Our games have looked like scrimmages, running 3 and 4 players in and out EVERY play. We need 11 that depends on each other and knows what to expect.
We seem to have no identity. Give us our best 11 starters and go with them.. Hard to gel with 3 or 4 different lineman and receivers every play...Same goes for defense..Nobody in the stadium knows who our starting defense is...Its time to make a team.
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.Swain had game film from the week before..
Robbinsville had game film from last years Smoky team..
Maybe you should watch the game film of LCA if you think Swain created all those turnovers..Snapping the ball over the QBs head was not caused by Swain.
Its funny that a Big 1AA team even has to get on here and argue with the small teams.
Enjoy your regular season..Must be pretty demoralizing to know that Tarboro and East Surry await you.
That's not a big problem, EC and AS takes care of that.Swain would have to lose probably 150 kids to be small 1A

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.The Robbinsville/Erwin game is a tough pick for me.. Robbinsville can't seem to find its flow..

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.Erwin has size and speed, but their line play doesn't really jive.

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.Smoky

We'll see how he holds up. All of his yards against Pisgah were on one run and only 2 TDs were rushing.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.

There aren't any other backs. He is it.Not a surprise to me because I was waiting on him to stand out with these other Murphy backs. To me he is the best and the most experienced back that Murphy has. He has been around for four years and is a perfect fit for Murphy’s offense. Still early in the season. 40 carries in two games is a lot in Murphy’s offense. Typically they spread it around more which has me thinking why has he had to carry the load? Other backs there seem to have a low average yards per carry. Perhaps inexperienced backs learning the offense?
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.We'll see how he holds up. All of his yards against Pisgah were on one run
