Mintz’s legs worry me more than his arm. He is athletic and able to turn negative yards positive. I believe containing him is essential. They have a good RB in Evans and if he can get an opening it’ll be hard to catch him. R’villes line played great against the run versus Christ School and limited Gibbs from breaking runs. However this passed Friday, R’ville did not contain the RB. Big adjustments for Friday’s game which will happen. No one is going to call this an easy win for any side. It is whoever comes more ready and more hungry.
GOW Robbinsville at Cherokee

Should be great game. If Braves healthy they win. Knight's defense is better,but they have to stay off the field. If game becomes shoot out advantage Braves. Robbinsville can't throw the ball. My only ? is how hurt are the Braves. Could be the difference maker.
I believe it will come down to composure. Whichever team keeps their emotions in check without any stupid fouls will win. I believe it will be a close game and I hope it is left up to the athletes on the field, not the men in strips ! !
Robbinsville may go to their 4 corners offense like the did against Murphy to keep the Braves offense off the field.
Cherokee will not score 45 on the Black Knights D. Robbinsville eats too much clock on offense and are too good defensively to give up 45 to the Braves.
Agree with mbdfan, Robbinsville defense won't allow that many points. This will be a good game. Robbinsville is underrated and should pull out the W
We have not allowed a 100 yd rusher this season. Gibbs is WNC leader and he only had 3.5 vs Robbinsville.
Cannot say for certain what the score will be. I will say it would be within score of each other. I have to credit the big win Cherokee had against Swain. But Robbinsville has seen the harder schedule. Played a tough game to Murphy and like BK pointed out, held Gibbs to less than 100 yards. That is no small task for the areas top rusher. Not going to harp about Cherokee schedule, they are still a team that needs to be respected but have to give the W to R'ville. 28-26.
Congrats to the Braves....Thought that both teams played great defense last night especially Cherokee as Robbinsville had the ball inside the 20 on 5 different occasions, but had to settle for FGs each time, making 3 of 5....Thought that last drive by Tye Mintz and the Braves was the difference as he led the Braves down the field in the last 50 seconds of the half for a TD with several great passes....Mintz is also difficult to corral as the Black Knights found out last night....Cherokee is in the drivers seat now after the Bulldogs lost at Swain....Should be a great one in a couple weeks at the Reservation...
As for the Black Knights, they will not be an easy out for anyone come playoff time, and thought that the Anderson kid really had a breakout game for Robbinsville last night, and should be one of the premier RBs in the SMC the next couple of years...

We all knew how explosive the Braves offense was and now it appears that their defense is getting stronger at just the right time. Cherokee exercised the "bend but don't break" mentality last night keeping Robbinsville out of the endzone. That's an impressive feat, I don't care who you are!
268 to 263 ... and you prob ran 25 more plays I’m listening
Cherokee 18, Robbinsville 9. Yardage doesn't matter. If it did they would have it on that item that we call the scoreboard.
