Also if this plays out like this you would have another MTN. Heritage and North Rowan playoff game, this one in the 3rd round!! A 4th Round game with MTN. Heritage and either Murphy or Robbinsville if it goes that way would be a fun game to watch!!! Don't sleep on Murphy, Robbinsville, MTN. Heritage, Starmount, or Eastern Randolph
If playoffs started this week? (Updated 11-5)

I would like to see the MH-NR game. A tale of two different styles of football.
Very good chance the 1 seed plays the highest ranked conference runner up in the 3rd round. With the amount of seeded champs the highest runner up lands in that 8-9 spot.
I hope not. I don't think it will be good for either team. Hard to escape that game without some injuries or just physical exhaustion. May make whichever team wins weakened for the next game. Just my opinion.
I do agree!! But those are the reasons you want to see that game again. I wouldn't want it to affect any team in that way you mentioned though
It does seem a bit harsh for Starmount to be placed as a 9 seed, especially given their impressive performance throughout the season. Penalizing a team for finishing second and losing narrowly to a strong opponent like the back-to-back state champs doesn’t seem fair.
Hopefully it's in semis. I think that 1 vs 4 would be good. Problem for rams is they aren't hurting bears. Bears to strong physically. But the other side. That's where the horns have a weakness. People stay away from getting hit. That's a laughable thing. Play. Or sit. I don't personally think the Rams stand a chance if they play them again. They got to get there first though Mount heritage is good. Murphy is very good. So is Eastern Randolph.

Yeah there are several teams in that bracket in the west that could be the team to watch in late November
Maybe or maybe not. I know folks over here think they got a shot. Shutting out both Mount Airy and East Wilkes in the second half was impressive.
Lots of football to be played over next 3 weeks so it will be interesting what happens.
It was a post to get some conversation going since it was a little lacking last week.
I can’t believe we are almost done with regular season.
People with prior injuries stay away from getting hit earlier in the season to prepare for a deep playoff run. Very smart football to me
I agree. No that it's smart but that it's in their mind. That's what you love about bears. And the physical teams. You gotta pay the price to beat them. Most teams aren't willing to. Truthfully Eastern Randolph and tarboro are the only two in that same arena. Robbinsville was last year.
I hope Mount Airy will be more ready at home for the next meeting of these two teams if they both make it. Neither team should lose another game of the regular season, with Mount Airy at Elkin Friday and at home against Alleghany to end the regular season. Starmount is away for its last two games against South Stokes and then Elkin. Both should be injury-free by the time they meet again or I hope so.
I just hope I can make it to one of the remaining games and meet some people at the tailgate. I think I know most or at least 3 of them.
Go BEARS 🏈🏈🏈.
Let me throw this out: which would be more advantageous a 3rd round Starmount/MA game followed 2 weeks later with possible back to back games with ER and Tarboro. Or a quarterfinal Stm/Ma followed by ER and Tarboro games. My apologies to MH, Murphy and any other contenders I left out.
That's a good question. I would love to see Bears and Rams playing in the West final but that's probably not gonna happen. Out of those choices I would pick the second one. Some tough teams to face before that could become reality. I'm sure MH, Murphy and EW will have a say in this somewhere, tough hardnosed teams.
It looks like Starmount could be on a collision course with either the #1 or #2 seed in the 3rd round.
Since Starmount is currently playing lights out football, have more talent than they know what to do with, they should look forward to knocking out the unfairly higher seeded teams as early as possible.
Tarboro until anyone can take them out. Not likely!Tarboro
I like the way you think!!Tarboro

Thomasville, Carver, Albemarle and Andrews
Munt Airy, Murphy, Mountain Heritage, Eastern Randolph, North Rowan, Starmount, East Wilkes, Mitchell, Robbinsville
To close to call would include:
Thomasville, Carver, Albemarle and Andrews
Some matchups can change this:
Mitchell-Mtn Heritage
South Stanly-Union Academy
Mitchell-Mtn Heritage
South Stanly-Union Academy
of course.
Thanks for the posting.
In those matchups Robbinsville would go to Corvian 3rd round
Mt. Airy-Eastern Randolph in the 4th Round, Murphy-N. Rowan 3rd Round too. Starmount-Mt. Airy or Starmount North Rowan 4th Round. Corvian Community is my sleeper for playoff run. Watch out for Robbinsville, Mitchell, and Mtn. Heritage
Not sure about Andrews, they have had a couple of key injuries. I don't know when they will be back.
Unless Andrews gets a few back they won't be much of a problem in the playoffs. I was told they were down 8 starters Friday against murphy. I'm not sure if any will be back anytime soon. Hopefully the week off before playoffs will help them get a few back
Better be careful what you wish for lol. Hope your line has improve from last year , If so might be good game
