Murphy at Robbinsville round 4.

They were a little gusty here this morning maybe 20 to 25 mph but dying down to just a breeze now. Calling for 6 to 7 mph tonight. WXII 12 says 11 mph now there but we are at the foot of the mountains and they block some weather at times. I have seen it snow all the way around us and we got nothing. I hope it cooperates with all the games tonight. Sitting here looking out the window and the leaves stop blowing a few and pick back up.
I will say the weather reports are off a lot. WXII on TV, not the streaming forecast says winds dying down tonight after sunset. So who knows when it comes to the weather.
 
Murphy beat ER as soundly last week as I have seen them be defeated in the last 20 years. ER has not typically fared well going west if we're being honest at any level. Mountain Heritage, Brevard, Crest, now Murphy and so on in the recent years. Ultimately as a fan of football I'm just excited to watch both these games tonight and enjoy them without having to stress over the end result. If Murphy plays like they did last week I feel like they're going to be a hard out for anyone. But any given week you never truly know until the game is played.
When you set in a 3-4 defense all night with no adjustments against a wing T you are asking for the beaten ER got

ER was very unimpressive on film..probably the slowest line on both sides of the ball I've saw all year. Not sure how some of theses rankings are derived..However, what Murphy done to them was pretty impressive. It was their biggest blowout of the season. ER ,on this particular night looked like a 4th or 5th place SMC team. Besides Murphy, Andrews, Robbinsville and Cherokee would have given them fits. As for tonight, my mind says Robbinsville but my heart says Murphy. I just don't know if we have the leadership on such a young team to get it done. I hope I am very wrong. If Kage runs over the dogs linebackers and actually puts a hurting on them and it this cold, it will open lots of things up.
Go Knights

Beat the top rated 3A team in east…
Played an all 3A/2A schedule…
Went undefeated…
#2 SOS in 1A west…
Not sure why they would be ranked high…
Now Murphy did whoop them badly but there as others have said it’s about matchups.
There was one other large extenuating circumstance but this is definitely not the place to mention it.
Good luck to Murphy tonight.

I think we run the ball better this time than last. I think we also win in a close one

They wouldn't like the matchup against any SMC team.

I have wondered about the circumstance as well. Just seemed like their heads weren't in it across the board. But that's how she goes. Not making any excuses. Every week this time of year you face the best team you've played and only one moves on.

Look it up.
They had a thing at school on Saturday after that game.
You can message me if you can’t figure it out.

The web site said open. They have owned it for 20 yrs but recently put it up for sale. That could be the reason, not sure. Willow tree is good but very pricey. Southern Gals is near McDonald's and Mexican is also.

Also have papa's pizza.

Maybe not…
Ain’t you got somewhere to be?
Or you just go around picking fights with people over teenagers playing a game?
Have fun with that…


msgtcody thought I would talk like some of them and see if that works better

Nah…
You don’t really want to do that…
Really..
Enjoy your game and the PLAYOFF thread as well…
And as I said you don’t want to do that.
 
Murphy was a much improved team from the one we saw earlier in the year. Those coaches and players deserve credit but at the end of the day it wasn't even a close game. I think it was 28-07 with a minute left in the game.
The next two years look really good if your a black knight fan

Well executed game plan by the Knights. 3rd down conversions were almost flawless. Qb play for the Knights was very impressive. 2 state championships 7 months apart for the SMC sounds good to me. Good luck moving forward.

I think Murphy played Robbinsville close last night despite the score, Murphy overall was way better defensively than they were in the first game between the two and Murphy moved the ball well most of the night, the difference is Robbinsville consistently executed on 3rd down and Murphy just didn't make the plays when they really needed to. In a lot of ways I was much happier with Murphy's performance last night than I was in the 3 point loss. If Murphy had scored right before half I think the whole momentum of the game changes and it would've been a nailbiter, who knows for sure though. In big games like that between two good teams the game is won or lost on a handful of plays, Robbinsville executed on theirs and Murphy didnt, it's that simple.

Good luck to the Knights next week. I also wanted to say I saw a lot of good sportsmanship from your players last night, good group of kids.

It was a very good defensive effort from Murphy. Think they were the only team to hold Adams under 100 yards with him playing the whole game.
 
Lol we know you’re joking but that is interesting to think about. Was Robbinsville going on this run with or without Gentry lighting that fuse about getting better? Did that statement push the program to the current level?
