Any upset predictions for first round games?

Think BYE knocks off Tarboro…💪
East Wilkes and Mitchell is an interesting match up. Pretty even, but seed wise, I'd probably take East Wilkes
Andrews and East Wilkes are candiates for an upset I think.
Alleghany beats MIC. Not really an upset imo however.

Same thing I thought; spot on. MIC's all athletes no physicality. Alleghany will given them a steady dose of that, if they can ball control they got a good shot to win it. EW and Mitchell's a game I wish we could get in round 2 or 3.
I heard some people say South Stokes over Bishop but I don't see it. Bishop's very fundamentally sound and South doesn't like to hit. That makes a difference in 1A ball.
I think South is terrible. Bishop has played good ball this year. Like you being fundamentally sound along is a big advantage over South.
Don’t think Andrews will be upsetting anyone
If Andrews is healthy, you may be surprised. Andrews line is really solid.
Remember bye has not been scored on all season
#1 Tarboro & #2 West Columbus in the East are the only team in the state to get a 1st Rd bye
We play in the SMC against teams like Robbinsville, Swain & Murphy who are all in Top 10 in 1A rankings along with Hayesville & Cherokee who are in top 20. so yes we are 0 & 5 in conference but we will show up and play. When you play these teams you are battle tested. The injuries have really hurt this team this season and lost 2 more Friday night. Hoping for a good clean game this Friday
The SMC imo isn't outstanding this season but it's head above heels better than the conference Thomasville is in. I think Andrews is battle tested and has a good shot against Thomasville.
If you think Thomasville has played a weak schedule just keep thinking that
Not so fast my friend!
I don't know I'm on a Lee Corso kick today...
In addition to the two you mentioned
Looks to me like Bear Grass Charter #5 has a bye
Northside-Pinetown #4 has a bye
And Wilson Prep #3 has a bye
Salisbury and Randleman
That's it and you know just as well as I do that both of them played terrible schedules.
I'll take Andrews schedule all day on conference alone.
The East is pathetic.
They need to go back to filling the bracket the way they used to.
Uh...
Didn't orange/blue play a "decent" team last night???
You are correct, I was not expecting that many byes in the East and none in the West. I did not look deep into the East and missed those. So the East's first 5 seeds have a bye ! I think the same thing happened last year now that you mention it.
Polk and Murphy looks to be interesting game. I know Polk was 0-3 down the stretch but was in some games . Gots eyes on this one
I think that’ll depend on Murphy. Murphy shows up to play, then it may not be a great game. Murphy lays down, polk could be a them.
SOS means good teams.
We are talking about beating the hell out of each other.
Hope they do that’s a long bus ride to come take a beating
Polks biggest issues is line play in general there small across the line when the line holds up there absolutely dangerous especially in the passing game and they tend to allow things to snowball on themselves one mistake leads to many if they play clean and line holds up then they can make a game of it, of course that's if there qb isn't out he got hurt friday against brevard and the backup was already out hurt finished the game with a reciever at qb never gave up friday but I don't see them having any chance whatsoever if qb is out friday night
Polk might be able to score with Murphy some, especially if the QB is healthy, but I don't really see Polk slowing down Stalcup based on what little I've seen of Polk so far.
Ok I HATE to give them credit in any sport but it was a heck of a game…
That will be much harder to overcome, the bus ride that is, than the game itself. I know this is a new season but you only beat a 1 & 4 in conference Swain last year 21 to 0 and Swain had a very down year under a new Coach and new offensive scheme. What I’m saying is don’t be fooled by the winless conference record. It will be decided on the field and not on here with smack talking. You won’t bait anyone on here to smack talk and you sure won’t get any on the field from our team. They are well coached and well disciplined. Good luck and looking forward to a competitive game
I could eat crow, but Mitchell will win by 2 or 3 TDs
I think THS wins too but I don’t think it’ll be a cakewalk.
