U say joke but this may happen this season. Robbinsville looks very strong and Murphy plays at Swain.
I agree 40, don't think I would be calling that a joke either. Personally I feel like Murphy's 1's are the better team but they don't have the depth of a typical Murphy team. They lose a couple at a crucial time and could take a L to Swain or Rville or both. Looking more and more like a 3 way tie to me.
3 way tie is possible as well. Of course this is 1a and injuries could result in any of the three dropping. Praying for a healthy season for all teams this season!
Cherokee couldn’t beat Robbinsville with Mintz and they definitely aren’t going to beat them without him. Especially this year.
I have 1. Robbinsville. 2. Murphy 3. Swain. I have the rest of the conference as a toss up. Lol. I think Hayesville has a chance of finishing 4th. But they have to stay healthy. If injuries start, they very well could finish last.
No matter how good or bad my Tiger's are, I'm always ready for some Tiger football. Good luck to the rest of the SMC teams. Stay healthy everyone.
The rest of the conference will not be a toss-up. Andrews should be clearly better than the bottom half of the conference this year.
If Cherokee beats Andrews, I will be sure to give you props that we heard it from you first lol.
I enjoyed watching the scrimmage in Robbinsville tonight. Of course it was a scrimmage but still seen good things from all 3 teams to build on and I know they didn’t show everything. Great job young men just cut back on the penalties
I'm being realistic. Bottom half can't afford injuries. Hayesville talking about injuries already, Andrew's lost 2 bigs, Cherokee lost to transfer, and Rosman has lost kid to transfer and some kids not playing. That is why I made the statement that the bottom half is a toss up.
After watching last nights scrimmage.....I STAND BY my statement that Rville will lose by double digits to Swain, Murphy and hopefully the Braves. Rville line is suspect. But by god, Andrews with a running qb might give some teams headaches. Who knows. I just know this season there will be a lot of mad posters cause there is going to be some toss up football games
Cherokee finishes in bottom 2.
We scored 3 or more times on Cherokee and gave up zero points.
Every year after this scrimmage andrews and Cherokee talk big.

Lol..Hooper goes 90 yds against Cherokee on the 3rd play from scrimmage.
Robbinsville line is suspect?? Its the EXACT same line as last year except they are bigger faster and stronger with plenty of depth behind them now.

Why is everything so quiet about Swain's scrimmage last night?
Yeah I'd like to know more about it too...
Actually....none of your facts are correct. We didn’t come to talks little Big Oak jamboree last year and if I’m correct the year before. Rville ain’t nobody said y’all gonna go 0-11 calm down sparky. But ain’t nobody said you going to the ship either.
Fair statement. Many teams are one or two injuries from a disappointing season.
Heard Swain had a tough time last night but any team in the SMC would have had a hard time with MH also.

Heritage is small, but they make up for in speed and physicality. Would you rather get hit by 290lbs going 4mph, or 240lbs going 15mph? This is one of the quickest Heritage teams I've ever seen. From what I'm hearing, their offense isn't as good as the last couple years, but the defense is quick and nasty. 3-4 defenders on every tackle. Joey knows how to swarm the ball like no other in the mountains.
I would disagree. I think both teams had a hard time. If you asked Mountain Heritage players they would probably agree that was a very difficult scrimmage. Looked like Mountain Heritage has already had a scrimmage and some live action before this one. They came out harder than Swain. Game speed vs practice speed. Once Swain adjusted it was very tight and physical the rest of the way. I was very impressed at how fast and how Mountain Heritage gang tackles on defense. That presented a challenge for our offense. Definitely showed some areas that Swain can work on and get better. Swain was just as physical as Heritage. At the end both teams simulated a live game and Swain drove down and scored in a few plays and then Mountain Heritage drove down and scored after several plays. Swain almost pulled off a very good goal line stand. Not sure about Mountain Heritage but Swain did hold back some on the plays and players. I feel they did as well. It’s a preseason scrimmage so nobody won or lost but both teams stayed healthy and improved. That’s the most important thing!
Very accurate! But they did have a few players with good size. Linebackers were a good size and could read and react well.
