As far as injuries go, I don’t know where they are getting their information, but it isn’t right. I’ve heard from multiple people that Robbinsville will be without 1 possibly 2 players. One in which hasn’t played for a while now. As far as my perspective, I feel as if Mitchell plays into Robbinsvilles strength. I feel like Mitchell is going to have to throw to win the game. Robbinsville stops the run very very well. I also feel as if Robbinsville will move the ball pretty normally against Mitchell. About like they did Murphy.
I get my info from a reliable source. As far as perspective about the game goes.. Robbinsville will have to move the ball some in the air, Mitchell will have 8-9 in the box all night. Our run defense has been great all year and don’t see them just lining up and running it on Robbinsville at will, they will have to move the ball in the air which the have the capability to do so, they have 2 WR’s that can take it to the house. Gonna be a tight game. Mitchell is just as physical as Robbinsville.
Any team that Robbinsville has faced has not ran the ball productively on them, Murphy had 85 yards rushing, 45 or so came on one play in the 3rd quarter on a whiffed tackle. Not saying that Mitchell won’t run the football, but I don’t believe that they will just line up run it wherever they want to. As far as Robbinsville moving the ball... Mitchell will have to completely shut down Collins, he’s a game changer. I don’t know who Mitchell has really played with a defensive front 7 like Robbinsville, I may be wrong. With all that said If the kids that are questionable this week don’t play, Mitchell will be hosting Western Regional next week
Heritage has a defensive front as good or better than Robbinsville
Don’t be upset cause I know more than you and you don’t like my opinion lol
I’m not upset but I really don’t know how you could know more than I do considering I’ve heard it from players mouths themselves.
I'm gonna disagree here. I think Mitchell has a mental block with Murphy. They dispatched an 11 win Swain last season, and defeated Robbinsville handily in 2017 (yes I know that was a down year for Robbinsville). Your argument could be made with the 2017 Cherokee game, but I believe that to be an anomaly. Mitchell had played, and thoroughly thumped Cherokee at least once a season for 5 years prior. With Murphy going 1aa that year, and everyone harping that it was Mitchell's to lose, I believe they did not take the game seriously, and they were embarrassed at home. The times that Mitchell was bounced by a SMC team in the playoffs were 2011 Swain (28-21), very evenly matched, but Swain scored last. 2016 Murphy (38-13) Murphy was the better team no doubt. 2017 Cherokee (42-28) as discussed above. 2018 Murphy (33-29) Mitchell had a 4th quarter lead, 2 td's called back, and Murphy showed the heart of a champion and came back in the 4th. The teams were evenly matched that year, and the game was played as such. All this being said, Mitchell can most definitely win this game, but Robbinsville can too. I see the teams as even on paper, but Robbinsville is at home, so it will be an uphill battle for the Mountaineers.
Yep and everyone from Rville who says otherwise is continuing to sandbag. Every Robbinsville fan on here has sung their praises up until this week now it is poor little ol me. We have no chance. We should be playing against some middle school. Well no one is buying what your selling.
We have sung their praises...but we haven't faced a team like Mitchell and no matter what Wicked Stix is saying, this team is as banged up as they have ever been in the last 2 years..and that's a fact. Trust me. I know. Just saying on paper Mitchell should be the favorite.
A couple of the Mitchell posters started this sandbagging garbage...imo both teams are good and this should be a good match up. Hope the Black Knights win and certainly think they could. I'm sure when honestly speaking, that the Mitchell fans feel good about winning.
