SMC final standings 2019

Agreed. My only issue is the switch at OC. If that's not an issue or they got an upgrade, then I can definitely see them winning conference.
My gosh it cant be any worse than last year..They ran the same play ALL night for 1 yard gains..And would run same play when it was as 3 and 15
 
The o-line is the issue. They have very good backs but couldn't get out of the backfield last year. Murphy's on-line should be better, I don't see Swain winning.
I will stick to my guns and say the same thing I said last year. Five guys can’t block nine. Teams would load the box and we needed to throw the ball more and mix things up more offensively. Use players for their strengths and keep defenses honest. The three teams we played with excellent defenses shut us down. I think it will be different this season. Our QB is more experienced and I have the feeling that we will be able to throw more with more athletic talent at WR. More balance. Imagine how well we are going to be able to run the ball this season if teams have to honor the pass. If we run outside more and not just up the middle. If our line only has to block six that will not be an issue. Entire line is going to have seniors and they will be the biggest line in conference. When was the last time Murphy won at Swain?

Swaindad40, any news on friend benjis son Isaiah?

Please pray for him and his family. I helped coach him and he is a tough kid. If anyone can handle this it would be him. The entire community and Swain will be behind him no matter what. We love this kid! I don’t want to go into medical details but it is potentially a terrible medical issue. Everyone is still thinking positive!!!

Lol. Well with the veer just about every play looks the same and everybody's wondering why nobody even touched the running back on the dive haha.

Wrong QB 4 passing
 
We’ve sort of “veered “ off topic , would love to get schedule and some predictions from the Rosman fans, Andrews fans should be excited as well. If someone in the know will post a Robbinsville schedule I’ll throw In my 2 cents. Thanks in advance . Go Knights!!!!

I think my Knights will finish the regular season 8-2 losing to Smoky and Murphy. We will end the 2019 season 10-3 losing in the 3rd round to either Murphy or Mitchell. Just for fun and all my thinking is based on history. Go Knights
 
I could see us losing 4 worst case scenario.

I would say 2 but we might beat SM.

I'm going wait until I see who our QB will be.
The kid that is from Robbinsville but has been living in union county ga but now came back played QB for union. I think it was at the middle scool level. Right now I'd say we have 5 or 6 options at QB. As of now the Day kid or Lane kid would be my guess. Day looks to be 6ft or over.

Wait, Union is a charter school. So you are saying Robbinsville has been stashing students at a CHARTER school? What will the people from Murphy, Mic and Tarboro say? Lmao.
 
Union county panthers is a charter?
I think its a public but you could be right. Either way he's a Robbinsville boy that is coming home, like most our transfers.

I don't expect much from my Tiger's. Was told today we lost a big time athlete to transfer. I wish that kid nothing but the best, and hope he can dominate at his new school at Easley. Good luck in your future endeavors. I think it will be us and cherokee battling for last place, but I hope I am wrong.
 
It's beginning to look like for the first time in quite a while Murphy will be real thin in the backfield. They will have a great line to run/throw behind but the starting backs must stay healthy or things could get rough.
 
That will be or already is the new reality in football for most 1A and a good portion of 2A schools (i.e. a serious lack of depth) because most kids just dont want to put in the time or work to play nowadays. 1A schools dont have a lot of depth to begin with but it will be even more exacerbated now and moving forward.

FTR there was definitely a way that Murphy could've had a deep backfield again this year but the Vining's obviously headed back to Georgia (Gavin Vining was a solid back and would have been good depth as a 10th grader this year) and there was a potential in conference transfer, along with an out of state transfer, that didnt happen or at the very least are extremely doubtful to happen at this point. That in addition to 1-2 backs already walking the halls at Murphy that would be real contributors but can't be bothered to play anymore apparently.

Bad news for hayesville fans... murphy has an open week before the week before hayesville. Total domination that night on the hill.

You wouldn’t sand bag a little would you. I wouldn’t worry about it to much , you guys always seem to dress 40 kids and a line that good will turn a 2nd or 3rd stringer into a 1000 yrd rusher. Will the young lady that kicked PAT’s still be playing?

For the last 20 years everyone in the conference had an open date before they played Hayesville unless it was the conference opener or they scheduled a non conference game.
 
Show me proof union is a charter. Not saying it isnt but it really doesn't matter.
