They were never going to finish 3rd in my opinion.Any surprises coming up in the SMC? Does Hayesville slip from a possible 3rd place finish to 5th?
I guess we are back to the same BIG 3.They were never going to finish 3rd in my opinion.
Looks that way, gap between 2nd and 3rd will be huge though.I guess we are back to the same BIG 3.
They'll be the favorites unless Murphy gets player ____ back. Seriously doubt that happens but if they do it's a legitimate tossup in my opinion.Robbinsville will repeat imho
Rumor has it Tarboro will be small 1a this year. If that's the case it's a very high possibility we may see a Tarboro vs Robbinsville or Murphy state championship game.Robbinsville will repeat imho
You think Rville will be that good? So hard to replace a player like Anderson.They'll be the favorites unless Murphy gets player ____ back. Seriously doubt that happens but if they do it's a legitimate tossup in my opinion.

Collins at QB is the real deal, he's the best in the conference and considering there's only been about 5 years out of the last 15 that Murphy didn't have the best QB in the conference that matters. Robbinsville o-line and d-line will be nasty as usual too.You think Rville will be that good? So hard to replace a player like Anderson.
I wouldn't say that lol. Robbinsville and Murphy are powerhouse football programs I'd love to see it. Now as for the 1a east well I don't see anybody challenging Tarboro. Hopefully I'm wrong and Tarboro will go to 1aa and we get another shot at East Surry.If tarboro is small 1a then there’s no use to play the game
I agree Hooper should have a great season. He’s a great back. Just not sure they have another to compliment him like he did to Anderson. A lot easier to stop a single back then a tandem like last year. Rville doesn’t have another back with any significant playing time that I know of.There’s really no drop off with Hooper IMO.
Collins is basically another running back and stud freshman Kage Williams should get more than enough carries to keep defenses honest ..not to mention Collins passing ability. Knights also return some big receivers, one who was a starter last year. Adams, Blevins and Harrell will share time in the backfield also. Harrell showed out in the State Championship game last year proving to be one of the better blocking backs Robbinsville has had in a while . When all is said and done,as Mbdfan mentioned, this O and D line could be better than last year. Strongest bunch I have ever seen for the Knights. They don't play nice either. I don't think Robbinsville will have the overall team speed as last year but who knows. If Williams and Adams step up,that may not be the case.I agree Hooper should have a great season.

Don't think he's being overlooked, he's still a freshman no matter how talented.I think Williams is being greatly overlooked.
If I'm not mistaken he is supposed to be a sophomore. Pretty sure he was held back. Anderson rushed for over 2000 yds his sophomore year. Kage won't do that but he will make an impact. Im guessing he starts both ways.Don't think he's being overlooked, he's still a freshman no matter how talented.
Physically he may be a sophomore but still no varsity experience. This shortened season will be harder for freshman. No scrimmage and few non-conference games.If I'm not mistaken he is supposed to be a sophomore. Pretty sure he was held back. Anderson rushed for over 2000 yds his sophomore year.

I was just assuming in the current situation there would be no scrimmages. Either way, any freshman will have some growing painsWhy no scrimmage?
Yeah some freshman are certainly capable of making an impact but how many are truly stars as 9th graders? Murphy has had a few kids start and even be important players as freshman over the years but I honestly can't remember any that I would say were "stars" at that age. It doesn't mean it can't happen, there's always exceptions, but I wouldn't bank on it either.In the 1a TN state championship a Freshman from Fayetteville KJ Jackson ran for over 200 yards against South Pittsburgh and was the MVP.

I was wrong in saying I cant remember anyone that would qualify as a star freshman at Murphy, Bradley Puccio was 1A all state his freshman year I believe. It can be done, but it's rare.You are correct. Most of the time it’s hard for a freshman to have big impact
Omg..dont tell me it was basketball?Murphy’s QB breaks his collarbone
My kid said he was snowboardingOmg..dont tell me it was basketball?
He will be back for important games and playoffs im guessingI'd say he will be back.
Initial diagnosis was 6-8 weeks, so he may even be back Week 1. I say he misses at most 1-2 games.He will be back for important games and playoffs im guessing
