My top 5 in West
- Thread starter buzzcoach
- Start date
Notice I have 3 out of the weak conference MA plays in!
I would remove East Wilkes/Bishop and add Murphy but otherwise looks about right.
lol smh. I’ve tried to remain 🤐 and rankings now are a moot point but Have you seen all the listed teams play? Regardless of how tomorrow shakes out, if you haven’t seen a game in it’s entirety of all the listed teams your opinion to remove anyone is goofy.
I thought about that! They very well could be a sleeper out of West. Good Offense and the Coach is very good play caller.
I think all those teams have some physicality about them. Consistently n health will be key. Bishop was playing last week without two starting WR/DB kids… Mt. Airy had the injury to their guy so we will see down the stretch who is the healthiest and is in the groove. Bishop, ER, Starmount, Mt. H have not good but great coaching…
East Wilkes struggled to beat a bad Wilkes central team.... EW definitely not top 5. I think Murphy and Robbinsville would both beat Bishop.... A good ground and pound usually beats finesse come playoff time.
Bishop coach is legit!
Corvian community is a good team as well. They haven't played anyone with a pulse yet though.
All those teams have beaten terrible teams lol. Struggle or not. Win is a win. Some of these teams have struggled in the 1st half or at least 2 quarters vs bad teams but it happens early on.
Maybe but bishop is more physical this year and their skill guys are big fast and physical (one is small but fast).
Lot of season left so no judgements from me right now.

Holcomb is definitely legit, and has always seemed like a good man too. Bishop got a winner there.
I never said the coach wasn't legit I agree they got a great coach.
I think part of that deal with EW & WC from last week is you have 2 teams that always get up to play each other and over the last 10ish years throw records out the door. Also you have the important aspect of the styles are very similar in what they run. Mix all that together and you have a recipe for a close in county matchup.
Agreed 100%. I'm a ew fan clearly, but I'll have to disagree with us being in top 5. We have some talent, but not the likes of ma, er, etc talent. That WC game is still making me scratch my head about how good this ew team can be. They was behind all game until late 3rd qtr i think. Proud of the way they got it together and fought for the W. Also, losing the fb to injury, one of the rbs was out with broken hand, had a freshman filling his spot. Also, big lineman been out all 4 games, all those supposed to be back after the bye. We could be a 2nd or 3rd round team if all is healthy and everyones clicking.

Murphy played Bishop last season and racked up 687 yards of total offense, unless Bishop is worlds better than they were last year I don't think a game with Murphy would be particularly close.

Murphy has the offense to keep with with any 1A team. The defense is the question. I think their offensive skill players are as good as anyone
I would right now my top 5 in the west are:
Mt Airy
Eastern Randolph
Mountain Heritage
Starmount
Murphy
I've seen Bishop play, and if they are top 5, 1A is down. Bishop is a lot better than in years past but still not top 5. Like Maiden Creek said, we'll see how good they are this Friday. CSD will be there toughest opponent they play until playoffs.

Last season is just that. But since you brought it up.. no starting DT or starting LB who was 8th in the country (yes country) in tackles. BUT read this carefully as I know for some RIF is real… I’m not saying Bishop would’ve won, probably not but it’s closer w/out a doubt. Now, this season since we’re not in a time warp… I’ll say for the 4th time, long season and jury is still out on all the teams in that top 5.
CSD won’t be there toughest opponent lol. There is another team in that conference that’s better than CSD. When all teams on that list get to full strength and we’re in week 6-7, then we can look at their work. Bishop will be and should be full strength next Friday and unfortunately for mt airy they won’t get their center back but they’ll be ok.
Sorry to intrude fellows, but just in case the Kidd checks in, I wanted him to know I will be at ER tomorrow night. Let me know if you are coming to game
I'm assuming you're talking about Corvian? I'm not sold on them yet, thus me saying CSD. I think Bishop can beat Corvian.
I think those 4 are the clear cut top 4 no matter how they are ranked 1-4 and will be at the end of the season barring injuries. It seems like there's a slight drop-off between spots 4 & 5. But in the playoffs anything can happen.
Where did you get the mountain heritage 49 from. Because I'm pretty sure Mount Airy and Eastern are both ranked ahead of them
What the????
Dang it. I won tickets on Rock92 2 guys named Chris show to the PBR rodeo thingy at Coliseum. First time in six years I’ve missed a home game.
Let me know how they look will ya?
Question that I won tickets with? What candy did Space Shuttle astronauts take up with them?
No time to cheat and Google either 😂😂😂
My guess would be snickers, but I have no idea.
Enjoy the PBR thing.
I will, never been to a horse/rodeo thing. Taking my oldest son who just moved back home to Greensboro after three years a looong way away. I know cows but not horses. Anybody got a giant belt buckle I could borrow and maybe some boots? Size 10.5?
Oh the answer was M&Ms.
Can’t remember my children’s names but caught that floating around up there 🤷♂️
Cmon man… that’s just sugar in a shell…
They took Merican snack!!!
U gonna love that Rodeo…been once…enjoyed the heck out of it!
Almost forgot, because I made it all about me looks like, you working game tonight?
Certainly wouldn’t try to speak for him, but I doubt Sportsnut will be anywhere near a striped shirt tonight😊
