Nah, I'll be in Ramseur watching ER. I'd love too though. Just to see you guys walk out from the woods. That's really cool.
Thomasville at Mitchell
- Thread starter wormyone42
- Start date
Its the coolest part of the show mine is a senior I cherish every game cause I know it's almost over
Actually looking forward to seeing that myself…do they have a trail or do they just appear out of a wood line? That’s serious children of the corn vibes if it’s the latter 😂😂
They just appear
There's a Mountaineer statue on the bank on the closed in of the stadium where the scoreboard is and the there is a fence and woods behind the fence they come down the bank though a fence gate and pat the statue kinda like Clemson when the come down the hill and pat their rock. A lot of of teams have different traditions I've seen several come down the home side stands this is just what theirs is.
Swain is also 8 time state champs they came through your conference several times on their way to the title we beat em 48 14 fri, 7 of the points we gave up were when the jvs were on the field, now what's up?
Hey Captain this is your typical 1A playoff matchup. After further research Mitchell will sting the Dogs. Remember though, Thomasville is big and fast. Thomasville went 8-4 two years in the past so momentum may be in place.
I was thinking Field of Dreams...
Nice either way...
Having the awareness to enjoy the moment is a gift. Many don’t understand until it’s passed. Good luck to your son.
2A 1988, 91 & 95....1AA 2004, 05 ,06 ,08
What year I'm I missing?
1. I’m not a Mitchell fan. Secondly did you happen to see the score of the swain and Mitchell game? I never said Mitchell would beat thomasville but I promise you this, if those thomasville boys get off that bus thinking that speed will carry them through to a win, it’ll be a long night. You have to be physical with a mountain team before you can rely on that speed to get you to the end zone. If Mitchell lives in your backfield all night, that speed isn’t going anywhere…
A little bit of bragging going on over here, but all's good. We have to be proud of our teams. 
It is cool ...
It is cool ...
TD can you not take over this page also?
Thank in advance
Thank in advance
Swain is not the correct answer to my question which was how many does Mitchell have? And the correct answer is Zero! The kids will decide it Friday night so I look forward to the game and seeing who comes out on top. Winner moves on and the loser begins winter sports. Either way both teams have had fantastic seasons and will end them on a strong note battling. Best of luck to both, Go Dogs!
You Thomasville guys really gonna start with this hardware talk?
Just clarifying the correct answer. Come on Friday and we are all just talking some smack. Fun fan talk hyping it up!
You have to remind us someone does every year. We have been a good luck charm for the state champions serval times the only team to come close to beating them always close but no cigar. To be fair Mitchell is a lot younger then lot schools Thomasville has had a football team 38 years longer lol.

My 1st time here and how many times have the Mtn. teams have been over-putting the Bear fans down. At least I was not downing anyone. So sorry to interrupt since I have seen most on here downing Bear Fans . Have a good night y'all..
Man does he have a nerve ! ! !
None of those past championship will mean anything come Friday night. Neither has won a championship
That’s a new one !!!!! Hahah we’ve only had a team for 60 years , we’re still young.. I’ll agree, 3 more years of breast feeding and Mitchell will be ready.
Sorry I specifically googled Thomasville North Carolina knowing there is a Thomasville Georgia and it still popped up GA and I didn't notice they've had football since 1910 that's were the 65 years came from but according to Thomasville NC own website they've had football for 94 years starting in 1927
But I was just doing tongue and cheek , Mitchell been around long enough just haven't be able to pull it off and have had some bad luck but still haven't and maybe never will but they've given some champs a run for their money and made them earn the one they've got.
But just for historical context if you're referring to Robbinsville being only 60 years according to this site their first football team was in 1939 there's even a photo of them with their names. That's 82 years.

Just good fun , nothing but respect for most all the teams left. So many threads about bragging for your team and it’s pros and cons. I thought that’s what this website is for ? Besides, the kids deserve all the positive attention they get. Some of the kids playing football in our community never get a positive word said to them or about them !!!! Some guys go over board but I think they have the best of intentions and truly love their team and kids and will protect them to no end . That will wrap up my stump speech and since I’m from Robbinsville I don’t have anything to brag about . I can always go clean rings , I have 14 of those to keep up with. Good luck and safe travels to all that are left .Sorry I specifically googled Thomasville North Carolina knowing there is a Thomasville Georgia and it still popped up GA and I didn't notice they've had football since 1910 that's were the 65 years came from but according to Thomasville NC own website they've had football for 94 years starting in 1927

I did think the old photo of the 1939 Robbinsville team was pretty cool though. I just like history like that.
To me new school you start over... anything Bowman and Harris did as far as conference or something , Harris was like a state co-champion back in the early'60 but I don't count for Mitchell.
I would to have love to seen some games from 2000-2009 when the SMC was winning most of the 1A titles and Thomasville/Albemarle were ruling the 1AA title scene. Those would have been some great playoff games with no subdivision.
Thomasville beat MA in western finals in 2006. They were studs of 1A a long time.
Bulldogs will practice in 70 degree weather wedensday and Thursday here. Cold Friday night will be a factor for a speed team. I been to Mitchell it's miserable.
It's currently 32* with 20mph sustained wind lol. Game time forecast is 29*, dropping to 25* by 10pm.
Cold don’t bother these kids at all, most walk to school or ride buses. Getting on a bus at 6:15 am at 25 degrees doesn’t phase them. Trust me, #1 #12 # 5 #2 #3 is getting g ready to run all over the neers- you won’t stop them because you won’t figure out who has the ball until it’s too late. Prediction : Tville returns opening kick off -Stay in woods
Hmmm. Running thru lexington or south stokes looked pretty easy, but good luck running up the gut friday night.
Also, running trips to the left with a single in the backfield ain't gonna cut either. Too easy for this lb core to read...
Yall have like 8 current threads right now, no need to clog up ours...
