Two questions for anyone who is familiar with North Stanly: 1) How does North Stanly compare to the Albemarle teams from say, 2009-2013? 2) They are 10-1, which is excellent, but is that a product of a weak schedule, or are they just "that" good? I have no idea about the strength of the YVC outside of WM, and stopped keeping up with it much when Albemarle went on their down swing.
I saw North Rowan once. I believe it was in 2009. Murphy beat them by a couple of TDs that year.
I agree. Also, the long bus ride and being in unfamiliar territory against a good team is always worrrisome. Murphy has to take care of South Stanly first though.
Lol if you think Murphy coaches and players are worried about being in 1AA. You must not have kept up with the 1A playoffs last year. MIC and Mitchell weren't exactly cakewalks. But I would expect a post like this from a hater such as yourself.
That’s ridiculous saying that. So that means 3A thinks 2A is not good football and 4 A doesn’t think 3A is good football. They have the 4 divisions for a reason. For any student athletes that might read your comment would be a shame. Each player, team or coach will be offended by the disrespect of 1A football. It’s a game for kids and they give it their all no matter what division or school they play forI seen both teams you mentioned play last year. They were average at best. You guys will finally get a taste of what real playoffs is like this season. No more 3rd games vs some pushover from your own conference. 1AA is certainly not on par with the competition seen in 2A and up, but it is a heck of a lot better than small 1A.
I dought he cares, there use to be no big or small,. , Just as swain Murphy robbinsville ect , we played who ever, so I'm not sure where this he is upset about it,I bet Coach Gentry from Murphy is one unhappy camper. They finally have some competition in the playoffs and wont get a cakewalk like most years.
Oh, I do remember that also !I remember having to wait an extra week for the playoffs to start last year due to the flooding out east. That was a very looooooong 2 weeks!
Wow Murphy looks like the fan favorite to come out of the West with Mt. Airy running a close 2nd. Most people agree that the Bulldogs will have the toughest road with North Stanly 3rd place in the votes. Very surprised that Swain County has yet to receive a single vote!

I did a little research on North this week. They handled most of the competition pretty easily and judging from the stats, it appears that as #20 goes, so goes North's offense. If the Dogs can slow him down I like their chances. North's D will have it's hands full with Murphy's deep stable of running backs, and then there's QB Joey Curry and Murphy's passing game to worry about as well. The Dogs played their best game of the year last week and shut down Cherokee on the road, handing the braves their first loss. Murphy appears to be peaking at the right time. If the game was at Murphy I would favor the Dogs by about two TDs, but it could be tricky on the road. If North hits a couple of big plays early or gets a couple of turnovers or makes a couple of plays on special teams, it could be interesting. Then there's penalties. You never know how they might affect a game.
Not that it matters, but talent wise this Murphy team is better than any of the Murphy teams that played Albemarle.Make no mistake about it, North Stanly has a Defense and really good athletes..I don’t think North can beat Albemarle’s 2009 team, but they’re probably on the level of the 2011 team y’all faced...I’ll be at this game for sure. Good Luck
