Who's the better oneDon't think Southside will be the problem for Plymouth this season. The Seahawks lost a lot. If Riverside drops to 1-A due to the new playoff system, then they or North Edgecombe may be the bump in the road to Raleigh. The Viking's schedule will certainly prepare them for the postseason! Tarboro, Edenton, Pamlico Co. ect.
Who's the better one
North Edgecombe or SW Edgecombe?
Sounds purdy good my buddy. He lernt a lot from his daddy and took on many challenges without his dad. I believes he will do great this year. By any given chance, has he ever met that Oxy Clean fella? He has a great beard.Well Raymond was at North Pitt then went "Home" to SW Edgecombe some years ago and raised the level of play of the Cougars. Unfortunately for Raymond, Todd Gurley was at Tarboro so SW Edgecombe just couldn't get past them during the Vikings 2-A days. After Raymond retired his son Jonathan who was an assistant under his dad got the head job. They went 5-7 last year, but should rebound. Jr did learn under a pretty good coach. Now if he can only grow a beard like dear ol dad, he'll be alright.
Sir,I like that first pic of the "big dog" paying no attention to the little fella lol.....as for the real Bulldogs,,,,I've watched SMC football for a long time and on "paper" this is "potentially" the best and deepest offensive talent I've ever seen at Murphy or possibly even the entire SMC in my lifetime...and yes there are numerous teams that could pull off an upset in the playoffs, Mitchell Plymouth and MIC are all looking good this year....but the ceiling for Murphy is off the charts and higher than anyone else in 1A imo... you cant crown anybody in freakin' June, but the long range forecast models are showing a very good chance of a Category 5 Black and Gold storm forming in the smoky mountains this fall and causing widespread chaos and destruction as it moves eastward....

I'm going to have to firmly disagree Mountie. I thought you weren't able to make it to last year's game? If you were at the game I'm not quite sure how you came to that conclusion.Although I'm a firm believer in Murphy's strength this season, Mitchell lost a lot less from last year, and had the skills players to match the bulldogs. If this game were played in ledger, it could have been a different outcome.
Yes I agree, Murphy is cut from much the same cloth. I would still classify the 'Dogs as a smashmouth power football team, but they will have the athletes the next couple of years to be a little bit more than that, if they want to be.I agree about the speed, Murphy had more team speed as a whole. But speed isn't the only factor behind skill. Yes it is easier to perform with speed, but power is a factor also. Mitchell has long been known for their smashmouth power back football. I trust Murphy fans 100% in their assessment of their teams, probably more than any other fan base that I have frequent contact with. The flat fact is, the mountaineers hit a yellow wall last December, and that wall will likely be there this December. On a different note, I just realized that y'all play Greenwood this year. That's a huge hump to get over, and if the cards fall right, the rematch of the West could be played in ledger which would level the playing field a little closer. Again on a different note, how's that youngun doing?
Plymouth is going to have to go through Edenton/Holmes they are in the same conference this season.No disrespect to Plymouth as they have certainly earned their place in the elite of NC 1a football, but Murphy's total yardage in the title game last year was in the 400s, and Plymouth's total yardage was in the 100s. Turnovers and Curry cutting his finger to the bone on the opening drive of the game is what kept the game close. Murphy had about four turnovers to Plymouth's one. The game was close on the scoreboard but Murphy dominated the stats.
Do not forget about Edenton/Holmes should be a good game between two good teams in the same conference this season.Will Murphy and Plymouth still be #1 in 2017
Saw today that MICS got better when Marcus Graham transfered in from East Lincoln after a short stay at Mallard Creek. Poven Qb that will no doubt start from day 1.
I will refrain from stating what no doubt other will and I am thinking.
GO MOUNTAINEERS

Won't matter. Murphy will be even more loaded than last season and MICS couldn't stop the Dogs last year, so tell me why this year will be any different? I mean hell, you had what was basically a Charlotte all star team last year that was loaded with speed and next level talent and you still couldn't beat Murphy, and no matter how good this new QB is, IMO he won't make MICS any better than they were last season. Remember that MICS lost a ton of good players on D, and as far as I know, that new QB won't help them on that side of the ball. My money says Murphy scores a ton of points on the MICS all stars again this year and beats them again. On another note, I hate this for the Holcombe kid. Threw for a ton of yards last year in the regular season then basically got benched in the playoffs in favor of Aapri Washington. Now this year he will likely get benched in favor of a new transfer. Pretty crappy IMO.
And so the mics drama begins. So a star QB from mallard creek, AND East Lincoln, two powerhouse programs, just happens to be drawn from the "lottery"? C'mon. Anywho, Murphy is top dog until proven otherwise. Maybe MICS can hike up the HILL to ledger and meet the Mountaineers, smashmouth style.
Of course Murphy had a problem stopping #8, he was a D1 player who ran a 4.3 40 lol. Nah I don't think there will be any crying from Murphy, the 'Dogs will be just fineThe kid is going to feast in the system MICS runs. MICS return three 4.4 kids that can flat out fly. Add in a 4.5 QB and guess what all these preseason crowning ceremonies of Murphy go out the window.
Graham instantly becomes the best 1A player in the state. Murphy had a problem stopping #8 and this kid is in the same mold but bigger if not better. Let the crying begin.

Any other new players coming in besides Graham?Much respect for Murphy and the fans. You all are first class and that's why you guys are a legendary program.
God I hope y'all come to ledger. No doubt Murphy got the better of Mitchell. I don't contest it, never have. But we heard the same crap last year about how dem mountain boyz is 2 slow, get tha popcorn ready blah blah blah. Your little speed jockeys will get hit harder by mountain boys than anyone else you will face.
