Ok I understand about Murphy

This is incorrect, SMC was a split conference back then, 1A and 2A winner went to playoffs. Robbinsville did not have to beat Murphy, Sylva-Webster, Swain or Franklin to go to the playoffs.
Well in the 80's they made a deal with the nchsaa claiming travel hardship when they found out they couldn't compete at that level. The deal was they could play in the 1a every other year all thou they were 2A. Now the latest scam is EC the delinquent school and getting all the football players from HD to come play. It's like I've said all along murphy is a 2A size school gaming the system so they can play 1a, they are good at it they have been doing it since the 70's
Cool, Robbinsville did though. Just like they lost to Swain in '81 when they won 1A, lost to Franklin and Hayesville in '82 when they won 1A, lost to Andrews and Sylva Webster in '83 when they won 1A.
You bitch about Murphy being the big kid in the "kiddy pool" well that's exactly what Robbinsville was in the '70's and early 80's, so quit being a hypocrite.
I never said they wasnt.
Now kids coming from HD HS is wrong.
Kids here go to RES then RMS then RHS.
Ok I was wrong I guess. But look. I admitted it . Lol. Thanks for the facts mbdfan
In the early 1980's there were less than 25 schools (out of 35 total 1A schools) competing for the 1A football championship. The SMC alone had four schools not fielding a football team out of the nine members. For the 1985 alignment the classifications went to the 25% x 4 model. SMC had seven members all playing football. The Little SMC had five members with no football.
In the 1973 alignment SMC had twelve members with five playing football.
***Check me on my numbers but think that is very accurate.

Pretty much anytime I've been wrong about something on here over the years I've owned up to it, so not sure what you're getting at.
10 kids? That was the first class of the early college, it probably wasn't much more than that from Murphy because there wasn't more than 25 in the whole class.
I was wrong about Robbinsville having kids at the early college and Murphy having to count them in their enrollment though. That was around the time the early college first opened and it was an assumption, didn't know the ins and outs of the setup or how it worked then.
That was also 9 or 10 years ago lol, anything more recent? You've made assumptions yourself over the years, don't forget that.

That sounds about right and Murphy has probably only got a couple over all the years from HD. HD as everyone knows is a basketball school and a tight community just like Stecoah & Mt View were in the day. No one from Murphy or Robbinsville ever got enough from those schools to amount to a hill of beans IMO
Murphy just win the 1a ship. Go Bulldogs
I can't believe all this talk with what's in store for all of us Friday night. The kids from both schools have played their hearts out to be in the big show and this is all we can talk about

I agree 100%, sad that the focus here isn't on the game at hand.
But you can thank a Cherokee fan for that. I guess he decided to stir the pot since his team is out of it.

This thread is Crap. Same old BS that has been going in for years.
You are so full of crap! I’m just glad not all from Robbinsville are like you full of excuses why MHS is a power house ! When you all do beat us do Murphy fans get on here and try to find excuses why we got beat. NO! Why don’t you just talk about the up coming game between two great football programs !
Can a moderator please shut this thread down?
Amen to that both programs rich with tradition and possibly playing in one of the biggest games ever in the SMC. Can’t wait to be at the field and feel the intensity from both sides
your right murphy has been 1a but they have had 2A numbers the whole time
If you want to say that's an excuse fine, but if you don't think it made Murphy's team much weaker that year I dont know what to tell you.
Question, do you think Robbinsville would've won state in '92 if McCracken tore his ACL the first play of your third game? About the same level of impact.
2014 with the players on the field Robbinsville was better. 2015 no excuses, Robbinsville just flat out better. Is that satisfactory?
Well, he was actually born in Sylva. Does that mean he should of been a Mustang? Just kidding haha!
They are at least 100 students short of 2A now. Even with their students in the early college and the alternative school they would not reach 2A numbers. How do you get they have 2A numbers?
