2019 SMC JV Thread
- Thread starter SitOut
- Start date
Will probably be Murphy's weakest JV team in several years, might be looking at 3rd or 4th. I could have definitely saw a 2nd place finish with Johnson (varsity) and Charles (Oaks) but not likely now I would say.
As it stands currently, yes. Things can change (new kids coming out and kids moving in) but as of now it's looking like a weak group.
I kind of feel like this was inevitable, it's the age grouping that would have been hardest hit by the economic recession a decade ago in terms of young families moving out of the area for work and there seems to be an unusually low amount of skill athletes in that age grouping. I look for the younger age groups to rebound, think the casino has stabilized things here in terms of work opportunities so I see this as a blip not the start of something.
With that said if Coach G hangs it up in the next couple of years whoever takes over may be looking at a few lean years (by Murphy standards) talent wise coming through the pipeline. We'll see though, things can change quickly.

Charles is playing and living in Andrew's. I dont think it's a lack of talent. I think the group will be just fine when they start getting coached by the coaches on jv and varsity. Big diffrence in the coaching from one side of the road to the other. None of the teams in the past ten years except for the senior class of 16 and 17 had a very good youth league record. The group that went to state 4 years in a row had a terrible youth leage record. Lots of parents are letting their kids wait until jv to play because of it also.
I know there's always quite a few talented athletes that wait until JV to suit up for football at Murphy and I know that Murphy is hardly ever good at the youth league level and that youth results have next to nothing to do with success at the high school level.
But I'm not basing my statement on the upcoming middle schoolers youth results, I just dont see an abundance of talented male athletes at the middle school right now, not just in football but in general. But I hope you're right and maybe I'm being overly pessimistic.
Good get for Andrews and could be a good player for them down the road if he can stay eligible.

I know exactly what you are saying. I know there is a class or two that may not pass the eye test to everyone based on what we have been use to. But I think on the varsity level when they are all mixed together they will be just fine. Lots of talent there IMO. Lots of players that are still developing and several that just havent played alot yet. Give them a couple years under that coaching staff and I believe there are several players that are going to really come around.
I can agree with Williams. Physical with his wrestling training he would be ready. I need to see how Adams adjusts to JV ball before I have a opinion for him. Everyone said he had a great rec league career.
Sounds like some mad daddies .
Stay out of the coaches business..this ain't pee wees no more boys.

well considering it's a SCRIMMAGE it's really just for practice
Has anyone heard anything about the kid that just moved (or is about to move) into Murphy's district? His dad was a big time player and so is the kid apparently. And not that it really matters at this stage but I was also told the kid plays QB. They moved/moving here from up north after the dad took a position at MOOG.
I'm not sure if the kid would be on JV or a second year midget this year, I believe he's a 7th grader. There isn't any new kid(s) with JV or midgets this week but the family may not actually be moved in down here yet.

Hey @BulldogDad27-23 you, @Cold Biscuit and @therealsquid seem to follow the JV team so what do ya'll think of the two brothers that are new on JV this year, #1 and #14? I know it's hard to say with only practice happening so far, but do either look like they can contribute?

I've not watched a single JV practice this year. I'm hoping to make the scrimmage tomorrow. I'm assuming you're talking about the Laney boys. Both are great athletes and competitors and will contribute now and at the varsity level. I'm not really familiar with the 7th and 8th grade classes coming up behind them.
No, not the Laney brothers. I'm familiar with Cole and Ty Laney and I agree that they will be good players for Murphy, not only on JV this season but on varsity in the years ahead.
I'm talking about another set of brothers actually. I think they may have moved here this year, at the very least they were never part of the Murphy rec league teams. Their last name is Diaz, both of them have pretty good speed and quickness it seems. I don't know anything else about them though.

I'm not sure what grade they're in. They both look pretty young physically though, especially #1, he might even be a 7th grader.
