Lot of history of winning big games for the Bulldogs but I think the cougs take this one 30-20
Murphy @ Heritage
- Thread starter mhhs94
- Start date
Tough to pull against y'all's community after all it's been through. Good luck to you guys, but Go Dogs!
Over the years Murphy has won a lot of games they weren't supposed to. Dogs by a touchdown.
Murphy is beat up in the trenches, 'Dogs lost two starting lineman this week, including their big 6'4 290 lb tackle early in the Robbinsville game. When #71 went down there's no question that it had a major impact on Murphy's D tonight and given what Heritage likes to do offensively it will probably have an even bigger impact next week. All that may come across as an excuse to some but the reality is this injury is a potentially huge factor in how this football game plays out.
Having said all that, even with #71 on the field I believe Heritage would probably be a two touchdown favorite next Friday night. Murphy is a young team and I'd say a year away from being in the same echelon as where Heritage appears to be at this season.

Murphy has a fast offense and very smart thinking QB from what I’ve seen..but it also seemed that the teams they mostly beatup on reg season had a lot of missed tackles and were misguided in their assignments ..not taking anything away from Murphy they have the talent.
Next games ahead they will see the defensive lines player blowoff the line much quicker before they even get their back fields motor started to an open field to be able to run,same goes for their receivers having somuch time to get open allowing for high scoring finishes…Murphy knows they have been there before..good luck at MH suppose to be snowing or 17* stinger weather!
Can someone please remind me what happened the last time Murphy went to mtn.heritage as a two touchdown underdog?
I respect the heck out of Murphy but that's apples and oranges that team should not have been favored lol
I haven't seen Murphy but no matter who when you're playing Mtn Heritage you have to win at the line scrimmage and stop the run especially the qb.
MH doesn't have the biggest for sure but the best blocking line I've seen this year and if they can do what they do best they're good at limiting how many chances the other team gets the ball by eating up the clock.

Actually east Wilkes had the ball longer then heritage .
I didn't know that, but what I mean that's Joey's type offense ball control and eat the clock. But sometimes like against EW they get some big runs and score faster.
Ether way you have to stop the run the QB has 559 yards passing but 1445 yards rushing.
Fear not, Mtn Heritage. Murphy has no chance. Don’t even waste your time prepping for the Dogs. Just go ahead and start prepping for Mt Airy or Corvian.
MH will roll again this week. Cougs are full steam ahead to the ship
Wasn’t that when the show ‘cheers’ was still on the tube!..lol should be warmer on field than being in the stands next week..GL to both teams!
Glad I can watch it on TV, I wouldn't want to sit in the stands, because while I'm not sure what it will be at kickoff but the temperature Friday night supposed to drop to 20°.
2021. Pretty sure Cheers went off the tube long before that lol
Murphy is good…Heritage is better but Murphy is definitely good enough for upset. Heritage by two tds
….Just wanted to know how this came to fruition?
Independent schools …it’s like a draft choice ? ,I don’t know if a student has to be within the circle of 25 miles for a given time to be eligible to play a given year?…love that there’s freedom of choice to attend public or independent ,private..if that’s allowed or be accepted to attend one but ,are not private schools in a category of playoffs themselves?
Just a curious concern of who how this was decided to incorporate both ‘types’ of schools to play all together,why not include private with all ?
We lost to Mitchell 33-0 that year not dowing that team as Mitchell was really good but they played as well as they could have against Murphy.

Agreed! I think murphy might keep it tight till the third and then I look for Heritage to pull away by 1 or 2 touchdowns in the 4th. Going to be a great game.
