We only have 8,000 in the county.
Big Oaks only holds about 2,500.
Atleast it doesn't have a track around it.

No ..oh wait I live in Bakerville.. Spruce Pine might one place not meationed is Bierdock Brewery I've heard is good..if you're in the mood for a quick Chinese buffet , Little Tokyo...as someone said it adds about 20 minutes to the drive but could go through Boone for some more choices.
I would drive through Boone on a Friday afternoon. It takes about 45 minutes to go from one end of town to the other

Well if not stopping in Boone for food wouldn't add 20-30 minutes to ride just go 85 to 40 and boogie on and come up thru Marion.
None of this matters on Friday. Besides wasn't Thomasville 2a the last decade?Hope Thomasville doesn't wet themselves when Mitchell walks through the woods lol
All while being one of the smallest teams in 2A and going through 5 head coaches, this being the 5th. Also we had a 3rd round exit to East Lincoln that you’re forgetting.
It’s all in good fun,nothing personal guys 👍
Hey now, the coming out of the woods is a cool thing. At least it is a different kind of entrance.
Go Mountaineers
Would be better if they were wearing coveralls and carrying axes lol I like y'alls stadium. Top notch for 1a.
I remember passing the Western Sizzlin last night. The last time I ate at one of those was back in the 80s when Bryson City had one.
FYI everyone, Thomasville went through a huge transition losing hall of fame legend Coach Allen Brown in 2013. Though the next 7 years might have been somewhat off, be careful because this year's coaching staff has a lot of Allen Brown assistants back on the sidelines -- including Roger Bryant who has forgotten more football than many know today!
They looked like the 2019 Knights on the frenzy I was definitely wrong they got hot at the right time I'm thinking
It's TRUE that speed........ eventually wore our starters down after they played 4 entire quarters they were tired
Plenty of good eating in Spruce Pine, if you come down 40 thru Marion lots of good places to eat I think in Boone you have to wear a mask while you eat or they write you a ticket lol
Its honestly probably the best western sizz left, I've been butthurt at them cause the free drink ain't on the card this year. I ate there last Sunday though First time in several months, it was GREAT
If you tell them you have the card they will honor the free drink. At least that’s what I was told, I am a water drinker. They were supposed to be on the card.
Go Mountaineers
Lord we are back on Western Sizzlin haha. There have probably been 10 threads about it over the years...
If MA post something like this we a bunch of chest thumping ass holes.
I'd love to see ole Allen ride up the mountain with y'all for this one so he could see them dawgs get run over by a proper team. He'd probably cry!
Ha Ha Ha! That's funny right there! Ask your cousins down in Black Mountain about Allen Brown -- when they had that unstoppable Notre Dame box offense!
I wasn’t comparing the grand emergence of Mitchell over the last decade. Just staying Tville even the last decade never bottom of the barrel. Go back 40 years and compare -
I started most of em lol
Thanks and congrats on the best season Andrew's has had in years, the best is yet to come from that young group
Played the last four years with 600 kids in the school against five schools with 1000 kids. 8-4 and playoffs last couple of seasons. These kids have beaten much bigger, stronger and faster teams that are now 3A including North Davidson so anyone in 1A will not intimidate or scare the Bulldogs. Only got 8 state titles overall and hall of fame numbers from former coach Allen Brown. Coach G will bring title #9 home soon. Think I am talking it up now, wait until you see the class of kids coming up from the middle school. Bigger, faster and stronger than the current 11/12 class was coming in.
I don't really think anyone thinks that Thomasville is or should be intimidated by Mitchell. And I for one I'm old enough to remember when we all were 3A and I remember those days of Thomasville a powerhouse. Actually from most of the comments on this thread, I mean threads I'm getting confused which one I'm on lol, it's been sounding like Mitchell is the ones who should be intimidated. Now Thomasville might come here Friday and over power Mitchell with their speed and spread offense but they have heard that before other times like last year when 3A Statesville came up and Mitchell has played larger teams as well including two 4A's this year and a 3A.
I don't believe they're cocky I'm sure they know this game is a big challenge but they should have belief and confidence in themselves or it already over and I while I've said I don't know what the outcome will be I certainly don't know that Thomasville isn't beatable for Mitchell , I don't have access to film like people seem to have on here unless their games were streamed , I did see the short video they have on MaxPreps of the East Davison game of their scores and I will say Thomasville D line at least in that footage had some bad technique issues coming straight out of their stance and getting knocked off the ball by a smaller looking line so they better do better that against Mitchell's line.
But the QB and that big back does look good , so like I mentioned before Mitchell best bet is to eat up the clock and keep the offense off the field but I don't I assume coach Pittman is watching film and making a better game plan then I ever could.
But as far as Thomasville being the David vs Goliath in 2A well now their Goliath because their the second largest school in 1A.

Post Covid numbers are far below what the ADM for realignment stated. Excited to see two great programs playing for a fourth round slot. Now there are eight and soon there will be four in the West. Looking forward to the ride up and game in the good ole' mountains. Spend time up that way every year. Old Lees-McRae and App State guy so love some cold mountain air.
You'd still have to drop pretty far to not be bigger then us schools below 500 the smallest left is Robbinsville below 400.
It's amazing though when I was in high school Mitchell, Thomasville and serval others who have dropped to 1A & 2A were all 3A .
Safe travels.
That’s when we actually had jobs up here and manufacturing/textiles. Our government sold us down the river with all this bs nafta cafta bipartisan destruction of our little communities.
I lost 2 jobs because of being sold out to China 🇨🇳…good hard working Americans being sold out
Seems like Thomasville is David…hearing all the stuff about the mountains and Mitchell’s very recent success
