Mitchell @ Mount Airy 11/26/21 4th Round

I agree, I also remember the abuse being worse in the 80s and 90s and the officiating being better. The pay hasn’t changed significantly in a long time. No one should ever get so emotional about a high school game that they threaten people who are usually doing the best they know how.

The mentality of I paid my ___ to get in, I can say whatever I want needs to stop. Sit down and enjoy the dang game. It's not hard. Your opinion isn't going to change anything. In fact it makes things worse sometimes.
 
Hey, just telling it as it happened, not like I was lying. Mount Airy has had players out almost all season. I think I posted the Andrews Murphy score. the last game of the season. I do not remember seeing you on this thread, but kiss my behind ! ! ! ! Or go to mammy for some love................................
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
 
I know this was a few days back but just noticed something. I was thinking about Mitchell 1987 team they just came off the 86 team which we've talked about the first game that Mitchell/ MA played that Mitchell squeaked that probably the deepest we had been in the playoffs we were feeling pretty good about the team while didn't score a lot no one scored on them. Mitchell and Sylvia Webster their last season was representing the WHC Mitchell a high seed was hosting Bunker Hill in 1st round like I said no one scored on this team Bunker Hill 54-12 it was kinda like the Murphy/ER game. Don't believe Mitchell would have beaten MA that year MA beat Sylvia Webster in the last football game the school ever played 34-14 then beat Newton conover ( who knocked out Mitchell the year before) 35-29 and then meet Bunker Hill (who beat Starmount 59-27) in the 3rd round..MA won 37-0 then lost to Thomasville 28-0 who lost the 2A championship to Whiteville 14-12.
A lot of familiar names.
I played in this game too. Against Bunker hill at MA it started snowing right before the game started.

Not only at officials but man let the coaches coach. Parents and fans have a right to feel ever how they wish toward coaches but every other fan and the kids on the sidelines don’t need to hear it non-stop game in game out. Talk about with your neighbor over a cup of hot chocolate but come on. Thankfully Mitchell doesn’t have many of those……right now….

Go Mountaineers
 
There is no question that the 2019 East Surry team was the superior squad. That was a once in a lifetime team for a 1a program. All that being said, it still took a blind ref with the IQ of mayonnaise for them to beat Mitchell...
That play at the end zone doesn’t really matter if the referee doesn’t miss the obvious holding call to give them a first down on another play that led to a TD or the other referee moving the ball 3 yards to give Mitchell a first down.

Mitchell fans LOVE to talk about that play in the end zone, but never want to talk about the other 2 plays that led to a Touchdown instead of a turnover on downs. East Surry was the better team, obviously, and it took referees making plays to keep Mitchell in it.

Parents and fans don't realize nor care the message they are sending kids
 
He’s better than most of em I’d say. Something across the board needs to happen. For one thing they need better pay, and they should find people that at least have watched football or basketball before. Honestly we had a dude show up to ref games last year in basketball. From here, that probably hadn’t seen a game until the first one he reffed
Low pay and silly requirements has set officiating back 20 years. Average age in NC is around 60. Average age of new officials I have seen come in in the last 2 or 3 years is about 50. Not many 20 somethings. I not just talking football.
I am sorry, carry on about ball game.

I think these new Refs want to be noticed and get to throw flags because they are not up on the rules as they should. Lack of understanding and wanting to be seen throw a flag. They don't realize the game is not about them but the players.

I know you will get mad at me, but you are dead wrong in it being about them. Yes they may throw more flags but I guarantee you most are not thrown to be seen.

No one talks about those plays, because they never happened. This is literally the first time anything like that has been mentioned haha.
 
Y'all telling me to have class! Wow what a joke! Y'all have talked about MA and their schedule all year. So if Ma beats Mitchell then they are good. Class y'all don't have a clue what that is! Y'all are such Hypocrites on here. Class y'all don't know me! BTW MA hasn't played no one they are trash Mitchell will wipe the feild with them. SMFH!!!!
I agree with the last part of your post

I dont guess it would have helped if the refs had called the 15 to 20 times ES was lined up offsides all night either ES cant even win without complaining lol
 
quick question: anyone on here that truly remembers the ‘86 game at MA?? What was Mitchell’s QB name?? Ran an option offense and he was tough…
 
He's running from a boy in a purple truck. You can find the story on the deer hunting lies, I mean tales thread.
I would never run from anyone. Just went to feild and fixed our tarp. Feild looks sharp. So ready! You Mitchell folks be safe coming down Tommorow. Make sure you have oil in those jalopys lol!
