It shows honor when you don’t try to manipulate a flawed system to get a team a top seed if that was the intent. The Black Knights wouldn’t do that though. A knight is supposed to hold honor over almost everything, right?
Mt Airy vs Robbinsville Western Regional Final
- Thread starter WickedStix9
- Start date
Again, that doesn't make sense. You honestly think that scheduling a good team is just to manipulate the system? Multiple Robbinsville posters have stated time and time again, that it is extremely hard to get someone to schedule them. If I'm not mistaken, they have also played them 10 times now, going 9-1. Not to mention, in 2017 & 2018 RG was a 4-5 win team. Then from 2019 on they were a 7-8 win team. It wasn't until this year they were a 10+ win team.
Is Robbinsville supposed to schedule a crappy team out of TN or GA so they can beat them 50-0, so someone doesn't think they "took advantage" of the system? Give me a break on this. Your point and argument is ridiculous.
Maybe MA should schedule someone that allows them to move up in RPI. There are a lot more teams within range of MA compared to Robbinsville.
That's fair. Have to wait until we know that true weather forecast. It could be the difference in a 1 point game or a 14 point game. Also, depending on the smell from the tailgating and if it makes anyone sick or not 😂
Let's go Black Knights
we compete not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves the real test is this did I make my best effort on every play.

It’s 29 in Avery Co windchill is 19 snow flurries.
I don't know that Mount Airy has faster linebackers than Rville or Rville LB hit harder than MA. I would probably say they are fairly even. Reid is a quality LB and RB that I think gets overlooked too much. MA QB plays mike which I still find unusual for the QB to be there due to injury risk, but it's 1A ball. Honestly he is probably a better LB than QB. He is tough and hard hitting himself. While Dandy and Joyce are the rush and Floyd holds the middle for the line, I think Gallimore is the centerstone that makes the whole defence work. Kid just plays with a ton of heart. His younger brother is the backup QB and has the better arm I think, but older brother must know or run the offense better in the coaches opinion I guess. Might be why they are ok with him playing MLB. If I was rating positions between the teams I would say LB would be an even push on starters, but there one thing about this MA team that's not normal for 1A. They have depth. Their backups have had a lot of play time this year and pretty good in their own right. Number 12 Youmans is younger, but the kids is big and plays backer very well. He is going to be a good one. I would give MA edge on DL by a good ways and backfield to MA just on depth of speed. My opinion anyway.
I think the difference maker on defense is #21 stroupe. He can play LB, CB or safety and can hit hard and is fast. He also is the WR and an outstanding kicker/punter. Super athlete
While I can understand your point for the sake of travel time to play someone from out of state, I don’t feel like that team should be able to be used in your rpi for playoff seeding now or in the past. The questionable position I took is whether scheduling Rabun Gap this year was to manipulate the RPI and your explanation was no that they had been previously scheduling Rabun Gap when they had a lesser winning record. I will acceptyour explanation as an answer to my prior questions. Thanks for the responses. I stand by my position on not letting an out of state school affect the rpi of an in state school. Although,I know NC says differently.
I was being sarcastic about the LBs, as there are posts somewhere in this thread arguing about them. However, I can appreciate the well detailed post. What do you think is going to be the advantage for Mount Airy against Robbinsville? The depth? You think MA players on the outside will be able to keep everything contained playing into the strength of the MA defense? Or do think that MA's offense is that good that the defense will only need a couple stops to gain the lead and not look back?
Out of state teams are outlined in the RPI math. I don't remember how they affect the RPI, but I do know there are different rules for them. However, I'm not sure if RG is considered out of state since they compete in the NCISAA.
I Mean y'all did take the starters out in the 3rd qrt down just 3 scores. Little fishy!
You don’t listen very much do you.. you talk to much to hear anything.
Two Tarboro posters made their predictions I figured I'd make mine to lol. I will say I wouldn't be to surprised if y'all pull the upset. But I'm sure the players and coaches know it'll take a exceptional performance to beat MA. Any given Sunday or in this case Friday
Walker has a stronger leg by far. He has 92 touchbacks in his career. Only Jackson Tumbarello had more (97). Robert Brown had 34. However, Robert Brown is the most accurate kicker MA has ever seen. R. Brown hit 238 of 247 PATs. Yes, he only missed 9 PATs in his career for a 94.6% accuracy rate. He hit 30 of 46 field goals for a 65% accuracy. Tyler Hull made 19 FGs and is the only one close to him. Brown was mainly a kicker.
Stroup is our only other kicker with over 200 made PATs (204-229). Stroup is also 4 of 6 on FGs. Stroup has the 2nd most kicking points in his Bear career. HOWEVER, Walker Stroup is a freak of nature. He is big, fast, strong, athletic and one of MA's best athletes of all time. He seldom comes out of the game. He creates a lot of issues on both sides of the ball for opponents. He is an athlete who happens to kick for us.
Stroup gets a lot of height on his kicks. Best I've seen this year. West Stokes kicker 2nd best
Robbinsville folk is @BK13T-$ ok. Has anyone checked on him
He has went into vigorous training getting ready for the buzz matchup. Rumor is, it wasn’t really the radio station that come to the big oaks today it was really two goons buzz sent to beat up on BK to give him a fair chance, they never found BK though
BK is out to kill all the crows up that way so he can start posting Friday and not have any crows up there to eat but Buzz is bringing a cage full for him just in case. Good Luck BK you are going to need it.

BK is perfect..I saw him at practice today working with his line backing corps
It's roughly 258 minutes from Mayberry to Robbinsville. Enter Sandman is 5 minutes and 32 seconds. That's 49 times. Shew
I sent some flying that way as well!!BK is out to kill all the crows up that way so he can start posting Friday and not have any crows up there to eat but Buzz is bringing a cage full for him just in case. Good Luck BK you are going to need it.
People have heard that from you so much they are sick of it.
At least 300 minutes on a bus..car sickness is a major problem up this way especially when adding in the altitude
It will wash away pretty quickly with all that rain Friday. That 4.3 forty will be like a 5.0 forty Friday night.

The “All-Surry” Bears vs the “15 Trophy” Knights. Should be a battle for the ages.
I would prefer both to lose.
Knights by 7ish
