100% agree. But unfortunately, the silly "culture war" issues often rule the day and are #1 in the mind of many voters. Then, these same folks complain and moan the private/charter schools and what they are up to.
Corvian?
- Thread starter Mitchell county mountie
- Start date
We will be your Huckleberry
Scoreboard. Check the scoreboard. Nobody fears Mitchell. I promise you. Heritage is a different animal. Maybe you guys can get Coach Robinson to come back for this special group of sophomores ?
You have sparked my curiosity about this so called rivalry between Avery and Mitchell. So I just went and looked and according to the records on maxpreps (2004 to now), Mitchell leads the series 14-10. Id like to see the entire record for the history of the two playing each other.

I definitely agree!! Public School money to fund Charter Schools I hate it, but we are starting to see this more!!
Whoever this is from Mt Airy, and I have an inkling who, please just stop. ER people are usually not much for talking trash. They are teenagers! Whatever happens Friday will not affect the lives of any adults on here in any way.
Plus speed is not confined to a specific city’s limits. Ain’t you heard? Us flatland, city folk apparently possess those traits as well…
Kid, I assure this jerk is not Mount Airy unless he is living one of the fine mental institutions and lives in Mt airy in his head.
Hope ER wins by 50 this Friday night.
Hope ER wins by 50 this Friday night.
And same for those in Mt Airy
Why would you think i was a MA fan , I do work in the same office with a few that are embarrassed by certain posters on here and YES I DO HAVE A NEPHEW on the field in Ramseur on Friday night that is next level talent that plays for CORVIAN. I apologize sir/mamm for hurting your feelings. Hint , The awww shuxxxx paaaa account is used for fun to by MULTIPLE people to clown CERTAIN posters.
Yeah well if that IS a true statement then I stand corrected. The post above is both thoughtful and truthfully legible. If you will limit yourself to this type this week that would be appreciated. I, personally, will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of ER with you. That’s from an outsider perspective anyway. Hopefully your nephew has an injury free game no matter the outcome.
Oh and most definitely a sir and don’t believe you can “hurt my feelings”.
Is that sarcasm... Or areyou really wondering why? 🙂 I can give you details about our humble success thus far.
You can find it at Carolina Preps, look in the team pages. Dates go back to 1968, just click on the coach/year and you can see the record for the entire season. https://carolinapreps.com/teams/frontend/teampage/allTimeRecords/74
MR Kidd , i know you are a deer hunter and a avid baseball fan. You need to run out and get that radar gun calibrated on Monday. Pull up on the 40 yard line like it was home plate on Friday night and see what that time is from the 40 to the endzone. I will be there , maybe we can drank a cup of coffee and chew the fat and realize a little banter never hurt anyone.
Ain’t always about how fast you get there. Sometimes, in football at least, it might come down to who you run over to succeed. Check out 1A in the past, as it looks like you have, and you will see ER been referred to as the “speed” team before. Doesn’t matter what the radar gun says, the scoreboard always has the final say.
And yeah I’ve been known to sit in a tree occasionally and way back in the olden days was lucky to be part of a fairly decent high school baseball team
Boom. The greatest “run” in Mitchell history has them up 4 games !? Lol. I’m so glad to put them back in place. Wrestlers are joining back and we are bringing in some kids from Cloudland. Our JVs wore them out this year. On the way up from here. I hate it for the kids… but this is the way. Go Vikings. I guess Qb power in ledger is coming to an end.
So I am not going to be as nice as previous Mountaineer posters to you in regards to the "great coach
" as you refer to Coach Pitman. That great coach has only lost to Avery once in his career and that was this year. Congrats on scoreboard when the team came in overconfident due to your stellar 1-7 record at the time. Heck sometimes that happens to everybody in coaching but it rarely does under Coach Pitman.In fact, he was 10-0 previously against Avery with a combined score of 469-111 over that span (thanks to Heels10 website tip above). In fact, Coach Pitman is 113-31 over his career for a .785 win percentage but I guess that is not "great" in Avery county. Two state runner ups in big 1A and couple of west regional runner ups including barely losing to East Surry (one of the best 1A teams ever) in 2019. Call me when Avery ever gets past the first round in the 1A playoffs (now 2A I guess) and believe me that is really not that hard to do.
And by the way, Mitchell JV's won 48-6 this year for their only victory of the shortened season. So how exactly did you wear us out? So keep running your mouth as Avery people always seem to do and congrats on the win this year. I doubt it will happen again anytime soon.
Its either 704CougarsDad, Nepsy, Blue and Gold22 or bigdadd11103
I will take ER based on experience, tradition and coaching.
Charters need to be held to the same restrictions that other schools are. You pull only from the immediate area you serve and not 25 miles. That would take care of the recruiting (lottery) system that somehow seems to favor good football/track athletes, baseball/softball pitchers, tall basketball players and top notch wrestlers. Put them in a league of their own if they can still have the 25 mile radius.
They have a totally different playbook in general. Like they can hire uncertified teachers and pay them full salary. In a traditional public school if you do that, they must enroll in a certification program and only receive sub pay in many instances.
We want to complain about public schools failing when in reality the state is just lowering the ball and the public schools are the scapegoat.

Dang Coach. Looks like you should get off these message boards and start coaching. You got beat by 40 in the playoffs. Congrats. Now do some quick stats based research on W/L records against teams with a winning record the last 10 years. I have. I can assure you it’s not something you want to look at. Owen, Avery, Madison have been uncharacteristically bad for 10+ years. Mountain Heritage has WORE you guys out forever. I can admit we have had a bad stretch. Why can’t people from Mitchell admit they are a bad football team, with an easy schedule? Let’s be honest!So I am not going to be as nice as previous Mountaineer posters to you in regards to the "great coach

McDowell- 2-6
Alleghany- 4-6
Andrews-4-6
Madison-2-6
Draughn 5-5
Owen-1-8
Mountain Heritage lolol (54-12)
Avery lol 2-8 (loss!)
Corvian (42-6)
So the only two teams you played with a winning record smoked you.
You are correct on the JV. Sorry I got bad information. I apologize.
Just want to say that these few Corvian fans prob dont represent the players and coaches. So to bad mouth the Corvian Football team is kinda wrong. Those kids work hard for the game they love like every other team.
Lots of fans come on here and talk all kinds of smack and brag about their teams. It is a message board and is designed to allow folks to express their opinion and be a keyboard warrior. Those teams remaining will win or lose and speed, power, size are all neutral at this point. The teams that execute the best make the fewest mistakes will win and the others will fall off after fantastic seasons of football.
100%, Thunder. The ones in Raleigh that are critical of our public schools are the ones sabotaging them and making their lives more difficult. Then, the same people complaining about the charters and their athletic programs are the ones that send the same crew back to the NCGA time after time. If they want a change, they need to vote for different folks that place more value on public education.
Unfortunately education isn't a big ticket voting item for alot of people. But hey who needs a well educated and well rounded society?

Sadly, you are correct. Not trying to turn this into a political discussion, but these days, silly cultural issues that mainly affect the private lives of people and no one else typically absorb much of the oxygen and more important needs are ignored. As well, compromise and some give and take is for the most part a lost art.
I'm not against true education I'm against men in women's bathrooms and open borders and electric car mandates and indoctrination of our educational institutions to support it you see how all that worked out this election keep pushing it and it will only get worse for ya next election
If you are a veteran NC teacher you can now early retire or retire and work in NC at some charter schools and double dip without having to move to another state or drive to SC or VA to do it. Several of these new charters are actually sanctioned in Arizona and other states. The pay and benefits are often better than staying with the NC systems.
They're ran from companies from all over. $$$
It's a shame what North Carolina is doing!
I'm still trying to figure out what the hell a Corvain is!
I should have specified but I was basing this off a private school in Texas. You are absolutely correct. Everything you said, I have seen in NC. No JV, barely a varsity team and staffs struggle to make ends meet. I totally agree.
Keep voting Republican guys and not only will you see your educational system fail but you will see your sports programs become insignificant. Charter schools are only the beginning of this. They play it off as if the parents have a choice or it’s what’s best for the kids. But in reality it’s the charter school lobbyists lining the pockets of Berger and company. It is a way to hire uncertified teachers and paying them
Less and not do things like provide lunch or transportation. It’s the states way of killing public education
