Anderson is great but I wouldnt trade a healthy McTaggart for him. I'm sure Robbinsville fans feel the same way about Anderson.Anderson will be the best football player on the field Friday night
IF he comes he could help on defense but that's not why he would be coming. Might be a JV player next season if some of this year's sophomores decide to play again next year.Does the kid happen to play a position Murphy needs
Based on last weeks performance I think our defense is good enough to win a state championship. Its the offense I’m worried about. If we crap the bed with turnovers like we did last time its going to be a long night at the hill.That team on the other sideline might have a little something to say about that. Murphy usually wins these big games at home unless the opponent is a good bit better than them. Is Robbinsville a good bit better than Murphy right now?
TJ offense is drastically different than Murphy but they had probably the best QB we played all year and athletes all over the field, the are a more spread you out team than Murphy is this year. But I agree with KnightinShiningArmor I think our defense is more than good enough they way the have been playing to go to state, don’t get me wrong Murphy will score their points, no doubt about it but our defense will make stops I think and I just hope our offense can get going early and get some momentum. If we can make Murphy sustain long drives and not give up big plays to them then we have a shot I think.Since you have seen both, how does Thomas Jefferson’s offense stack up against Murphy’s offense? Gonna be one heck of an atmosphere Friday night! I read in the paper that the gates will open at 5:30!
Anderson is a great back and Hooper is also BUT McTaggart rushed 114 for 1272 in 12 games Anderson 255 for 1925 in 13 games. Anderson had over twice the touches and one more game. Murphy also has Allen, Murray,Roberts and Nelson to go along with McTaggart. It’s going to be a war. Murphy at home wins by 14Anderson will be the best football player on the field Friday night.if he gets his usual or even 150 yds this could be a really good football game
I agree with your prediction. Emotions will be running high, I hope we can contain them. Like I said before if we can hang around until the fourth quarter I like our chances but it needs to be a 6-8 point gameIt’s hard to say how this game will go. Ordinarily I would pick Murphy to win comfortably at home against Robbinsville, but I think this knight team is too good for that. IMO it will come down to which team is able to be more balanced on offense (ground and air). Field position and special teams will play a big part too, and of course, turnovers and penalties always play a role. I think Murphy has more overall weapons and playing at home I think will put the Dogs over the top. Murphy by a TD or less.
WOW! 1272 yards on 9 1/2 carries a game is amazing! No matter how many carries for Anderson 2000yds is also amazing!Anderson is a great back and Hooper is also BUT McTaggart rushed 114 for 1272 in 12 games Anderson 255 for 1925 in 13 games. Anderson had over twice the touches and one more game. Murphy also has Allen, Murray,Roberts and Nelson to go along with McTaggart. It’s going to be a war. Murphy at home wins by 14
And Anderson is a junior & Hooper a Sophomore. Can’t imagine what numbers they will put up next yearWOW! 1272 yards on 9 1/2 carries a game is amazing! No matter how many carries for Anderson 2000yds is also amazing!
What is the record?Anderson will break the smc record next year by a few hundred if he doesnt get hurt.
Murphy’s offense is a lot more explosive and balanced than TJs, but all I heard coming into that game was we were going up against world beaters when it came to the passing game and we shut them down like they were a JV team.Since you have seen both, how does Thomas Jefferson’s offense stack up against Murphy’s offense? Gonna be one heck of an atmosphere Friday night! I read in the paper that the gates will open at 5:30!

People forget that it takes toughness and luck to rush over 200 times without getting hurt. No way to know if mctaggart could carry that many times without getting hurt.
Endurance is a big part of it.
I understand that. Riley's ankle was black for weeks in the middle if the season.
AhhhIf Robbinsville doesn't turn the ball over and dont have 150 yds in flags we will be going down State.
Let it be written.
Murphy has two sophomores with 100 tackles . Proud of all our Bulldogs ! Go Dogs !Agree with that. I was looking at some numbers this week and Anderson has 100 tackles on the year. Thats earning your keep about 1800 rushing and 100 tackles as a junior, the young man plays the game the way it should be played. On top of his gaudy stats he is one of the nicest young men you’ll ever meet, someone the younger kids can look up to and never get disappointed. Proud to call Mr. Anderson a Black Knight.
O yeah and we played one less game. Hope the best for both teams no one gets hurt. Should be a great game! Go Dogs!Murphy has two sophomores with 100 tackles . Proud of all our Bulldogs ! Go Dogs !
No.
Odom is 1st Cherokee kid is 2nd
Mccracken is 3rd.
Brett didnt have but 1 year in the SMC, so he didnt rush for 5,000 plus vs SMC foes.
The other guy you've mentioned I've never heard of.
Vincent Neclos is mentioned here in the list of nc running backs with over 3000 yards in a season. Don’t know if Hendersonville was in the SMC then.
