I’m sure both teams will not need motivation for this game. 90% chance of rain Friday but I don’t think that will help or hurt either team.I don’t know how much Murphy has left in the tank after the last two weeks. But to say this is a huge game for the Murphy program would be an understatement. In order to regain control of the SMC, the Dogs must first regain control of their own backyard, starting Friday night.
Dang. The rain has been constant since the SMC part of the schedule started. Probably be a sloppy, low scoring game.I’m sure both teams will not need motivation for this game. 90% chance of rain Friday but I don’t think that will help or hurt either team.
Could be the difference in ending 2023 with a whimper or a roarThis one feels like a watershed moment type game for Murphy's current staff. I don't know if it's a must win game, but it's pretty significant.
They need positive momentum going into the playoffs and next season. Some of the natives are getting pretty restless and I don't think an 0-4 mark against a team the previous staff never lost to, a county rival at that, would do them any favors with that contingent.Could be the difference in ending 2023 with a whimper or a roar
Andrews was for sure better last season, a better and a more talented team. As for 2021 we'll have to agree to disagree, Andrews wasn't more talented than Murphy in 2021, the Andrews being the better "team" in 2021 part of your statement is probably still true though.In this staffs defense, the old staff never played an Andrews team that was better than Murphy. The last two seasons I believe Andrews was just better.
The only reason I would disagree about 2021 is that either Weaver or Martin one was injured in all their conference and playoff games. The only game both where reasonably healthy was the Murphy game. The only their big game was the western champs Mitchell that both where healthy. We didn't get to see just how good they were except those two games. You are right about Murphy being more talented in 2021 than last year thoughAndrews was for sure better last season, a better team and a more talented team.

Murphy underachieved in fall 2021 with the overall talent they had on that team, a few baffling personnel decisions at the time and especially in hindsight. Along with too many injuries and poor chemistry (which I don't really think you can fault the staff for).
I agree with this, although 1995 could be a possible exception. That Andrews team (coached by Donnie Kiefer) was tough and talented and lost in the last minute at Murphy 15-14 on a 4th down TD pass by the Dogs, if my memory is correct.In this staffs defense, the old staff never played an Andrews team that was better than Murphy.

I wouldn't disagree with that. The two years keifer was there they had very good teams.I agree with this, although 1995 could be a possible exception.

I believe Murphy Coach Watson was the Qb that year if memory serves me rightI wouldn't disagree with that. The two years keifer was there they had very good teams.
Yes he was. Most of Andrews coaching staff was on those teams tooI believe Murphy Coach Watson was the Qb that year if memory serves me right
Yes he was. Most of Andrews coaching staff was on those teams too
Yes and his son who was a pretty good player tooNot to mention Keifer brought a UNC signee with him when he came from Gates Co.
