Corvian Community ?..been awhile but googled to see if it were a community college?
Round 4 Scores 12/06/2024
- Thread starter TD-FridayNight
- Start date
I know its tempting to gloat after Mt. Airy finally loses but lets remember that its not the teams fault that their fans act like dopes on a message board. My hats off to the kids and the coaches down there. That was a heck of a run. Well done.
Wilson prep and Corvian played state championship in basketball last year and both still playing football.
Congrats to the bears on amazing run. Much respect from us over here in Tarboro.
I’m not shocked, I saw them last year and wasn’t really impressed at all compared to what people had been saying that entire year. This year is the same really, I just didn’t believe the Corvian hype because I’ve felt the same way about ER as well the past few years.
ER huh?
So giving the state champions the best game they played last two seasons is not very impressive to you? While I was disappointed they didn’t win either game, I can take solace in that, perhaps, without Mount Airy having two great teams ER could have possibly been state champions.
Think in the loss to Corvian without the pick six, lost fumble that resulted in a 20 yard drive, and those two fumbles after long runs inside the red zone, ER wins that game.
But you cannot take away mistakes. Those are what decides games. Always have in every sport.
Now you can feel however you want to about teenagers. That’s your prerogative. But I, personally, do not have a problem with the performances of the ones from Ramseur…
Woke up feeling bad for MA#4. I know he is probably feeling it really bad, I hope his teammates reassured him over and over that it wasn’t his fault
He, the O -Line, along with a stellar D, are the only reasons Mt. Airy has been as consistently problematic to everyone they’ve faced perennially.
Can anyone in the Mt. Airy area do a welfare check on Buzz. I don’t think he’s ever went this long without spewing something out on here
Actually he congratulated Corvian last night. Several times…
Yeah, maybe somebody oughta check on him 🤷♂️
I agree. Now is a great opportunity for the MA fans to prove the board wrong and show some class.
Honestly…No. not surprising at all.
Tuff I'd agree but he's not accurate even when he has time, a lot of passes high or short with time to deliver. Also what JWat can actually playcall with him at QB is no doubt limited due to his inability to drive the ball/lack of arm strength. #3 is a very good WR and they can't utilize him or get him involved to the degree I'm sure they'd like to due to the QB's physical limitations.
Obviously #10 was the best and only real option this season at QB, but the freshman QB with an off-season of development and weight room deserves the chance to compete for the job next summer given his physical gifts and pocket presence.

It’s funny no one complained about him last week when he played a good game .
No offense but you have no idea what is said or has been said by people in the community all season, it wasn't some sudden change in thinking, it was a case of acceptance because this is the hand Murphy had to play with this year, but next year is a different story.
Just about everyone associated with Murphy that would be able to freely speak on the matter: former players, player parents, current players, alumni, etc. know/knew this team's limits with the present QB situation.

They will not , that’s their true way of thinking . These ma posters do not represent us all , Congratulations to Coravian , one bad snap or the bears would have been shut out , they could not move the ball period on these kids , the kicker for Coravian set the tone , no way ma was going to move a whole length of the field against them.
I think they have so far, mostly. Well, more so than I thought some would really, even with jabs and kicks to draw a response. Even your post here has a backhanded insinuation that all Mount Airy fans are classless that isn't really necessary. Could just say now we will see what kind of character the Mount Airy fans show. Frankly, some of the posters deserve to be piled on to for the trash talk and chest beating. If you dish it out, you have to be able to take it. At the same time, many are broadly going at the whole town of Mount Airy and school because of the few, rather than address those specific people. Most know where the vitriol comes from and at the same time it's difficult to bite the tongue when goaded, even knowing it's not purposely directed at the whole town or you specifically. It comes with the territory of being on a public forum though, no one is required to post or read the comments.🤷♂️. Still looking forward to seeing the rest of the playoffs and see what happens. It was a good year.
I know we have had a couple of comments a while back about Payne and I don't know the Murphy football team like you guys, but I still think it was a shame not to have #3 moved to a backfield position to give him the ball more. If you don't have the ability to capitalize on his talent as a wideout, put the ball on his hands how you can. I think Murphy will be a team to contend with in 2A next year, so good luck. Hope they have a productive offseason.
My opinion the kid is solid player, good athlete plays with lot of heart. If he returns next season , will have big year
Probably would help if he didn’t freak out at the tiniest bit of pressure, not only that but accuracy isn’t there.
No people defiantly still did, matter of fact it’s been every week for the last two years.
Completely inaccurate, you definitely have some kind of affiliation to be that brainwashed.
ER definitely shot themselves in the foot serval times that night. 2 turnovers directly responsible for 14 points and 2 taking 14 probable points off the board.
There is no issue with being critical of teams, if there was this message board wouldn’t exist.
That said, yeah ER. I think y’all have lacked that extra something to get through tough games and it’s showed the past few years. I also think MA has been overrated and would’ve lost to Swain last year had they not choked away both Rville games, and yes, I mean choke. Tbh I believe the talent across the board in 1A has been lackluster to say the least. Good luck to all who are moving forward. To the kids keep your chin up, I’ve been in your exact shoes and can relate more than you know, sometimes things happen.
Mount Airy did not play Swain last year. They played Murphy in the 3rd round and won 64-26 and then they played Robbinsville for the West title and won 27-16 THEN won the State over Tarboro 21-3.
The last time MA played Swain was in 2018 and MA won 50-20. Swain lost to Robbinsville last year 30-24 so ifs and or buts don't count for anything !
The runningback for MA last year has been in a few games for Virginia tech as true freshman. MA was not overrated last two years.
Maybe I’m unrealistic or just old but I believe this message board would be just fine without people being critical of teams. Back in the olden days you did your best to beat a team on the field then win or lose shook hands and everyone went on their way. Fans the same thing. Wasn’t any chest thumping, trash talking or disparaging of other team.
As far as Eastern Randolph football is concerned, how many games have you attended to come to these conclusions?
And you’re on a 1A thread saying talent has been lackluster. Mt Airy has sent several to D1, some are even getting time already. ER sent one last January. And let’s don’t forget you’re saying Tarboro ain’t all that either.
Swain would have won? They didn’t get far enough to find out.
Next time you come to an ER game let me know please. We will debate this lackluster ability you speak of. Everyone knows me, because I’m old, they will point me out to you.
Safe travels.
Im good its a HS football game. Proud of the MA kids. Sun came up and God blessed me with another awesome day. Im good!
Nobody in the West was beating MA last year. The only way MA wasn't coming out the west last year is if they had a collosal meltdown. And to say the talent in 1a has been lackluster I gotta respectfully disagree. MA had several guys go to Virginia tech from last year's team. Tarboro had a player go to ECU from last year as well. I also can't forget Cutler Adams from robbinsvillie.
Swain? Really? You talked that junk all last year! Every week we heard about the great line and defense, how much better yall were than us, and we can’t stop the run! If all that were true, maybe you did choke, but guess what? Nobody outside the city limits of big old BC thought that!! Delusional is right!, GKG!!
This is laughable, I won't spoonfeed y'all my reasoning nor reiterate how the games went. Anyone that was present for the games, and isn't blinded by bias or a medical condition, knows what I am talking about. If you want to discuss it go look at what I and others posted last year about it. Swain choked them away, simple as that and I believe Swain would've given Mt. Airy a better game than y'all did. Also, if you want to review my post history you will see that I was not one of the ones talking trash about y'all, I was moreso frustrated with the coaching, or lack thereof for a very talented Swain team. I root for y'all, and all the SMC when it comes down to it, and my post history backs that up. I was at Big Oaks rooting for y'all when Mt. Airy came to town and I ain't from BC, just fyi.
Glad to hear he is doing well.
I'll respectfully disagree on the nobody beating MA last year because I believe Swain matched up better with them than Robbinsville did, which is why I have been very critical of the coaching staff at Swain for years now. I will say that I was a bit too harsh on the talent statement though, these are kids after all.
I greatly appreciate your candid nature, and you as a poster.
I also had a real good friend of mine transfer to ER while we were playing ball together so I have rooted for y'all for some time now.
My statements on ER are drawn from watching livestreams of their games, reading y'alls posts/game threads and seeing the patterns of the teams successes and failures. It appears that the past few years ER hasn't been able to get over the hump, hence my comments above. This isn't supposed to be disparaging, as most teams deal with this exact issue, it is simply a pattern I've seen with y'all in particular since you appear to have the talent to take it all as of recent. As far as being critical of teams I am guilty of that, mostly to the team I support because I feel the kids deserve better.
When it comes to trash talk or beating of chests I typically do not partake and feel pretty similarly as you, I will say something on occasion but hardly ever about the kids in particular, because they are kids. I was definitely a bit harsh in regards to my comments on the talent level as well.
I certainly believe Swain would've given MA a better game than Robbinsville and considering how the title game went that it could've been a similar outcome there as well. Obviously none of that matters because they never made it there but I don't believe that to be the kids fault, hence my and others numerous, critical statements over the years on Swain's coaching staff.
I hope to get out to ER next season and would definitely enjoy chatting, it would be a good time.
