Cold biscuit its been a long time since you've beaten swain county in bryson city.
Gosnell will go to Carroll county and they are moving to Cana VA just north of MA. Father has a church their! And it's funny how y'all saying few kids not playing how bad it will make yall......hmmmm same thing we said about our 2 kids that were hurt when we played y'all 3rd.rd. Dam right it makes a difference in 1A football. GoBears!!!!!
Isn’t that only like 30 minutes from Pilot Mountain?Gosnell will go to Carroll county and they are moving to Cana VA just north of MA. Father has a church their!

I don’t think Tarboro will be as dominant next year just because this team set the bar so high. But given their margin of victory versus 1A teams, they could drop off a lot and still be the favorites to repeat as state champions.

East will still be the favorite for the NW1A and will stomp MA yes it makes a difference but not 40 points no single player is 40 points. BTW that QB at MA that everyone raves about won’t have 3,000 yards the rest of his career most overrated player I’ve ever seen all because he had the Greene brothers to throw toGosnell will go to Carroll county and they are moving to Cana VA just north of MA.

No offense but I think Murphy people know what's coming back more than a fan of another team, the drop off next year won't be nearly as steep as some outsiders may think. Murphy has some big shoes to fill at certain positions but I don't see a lot of big question marks going into next year at too many places besides free safety (depending on whether Isra plays), outside linebacker and maybe tight end. They'll be a few spots where Murphy is young: QB, WR, CB but they won't lack for talent in those places.
Yes, Murphy loses Nelson at QB and that's a loss but Robbinsville also loses Orr at QB. Murphy has their answer at QB on the roster in Rumfelt, he's going to be young and he'll experience the typical growing pains a young QB does but whoever Robbinsville starts at QB will have the same learning curve.
Murphy does lose McTaggart and Allen in the backfield, both super talented players and their losses will be felt. But the kids replacing them are talented in their own right. Murray will take over at RB, Rathburn at FB and probably Dorsey at WB, they'll be more than fine at those spots. And those backs are going to be running behind what Murphy's o-line coach has said will be the best o-line he's had at Murphy.
As far as replacing McTaggart and Roberts on defense, that's a big concern but Murphy does return two starters at linebacker in Ray Rathburn and Parker Posey. Robbinsville on the other hand is losing Orr, Ornelas and Lovin at linebacker, so I could ask how's Robbinsville going to replace those three? Those are huge losses for your defense as well.
Murphy loses Nelson at free safety and to me this is a bigger blow than his loss at QB, Nelson was a very very good safety. They do have a potential talented answer there in Isra Smith (who was Murphy's starting FS and RB on their undefeated 2017 JV team) if he comes out to play again next season, which I feel confident that he will. Isra is Murphy's most talented skill player in the sophomore class. Another kid that will probably start in the secondary if he comes back out is Mikey Crowder, who was the fastest kid on the team before he quit. He like Isra was a starter in the secondary on Murphy's undefeated 2017 JV team. Robbinsville loses Jase Phillips at safety as well, that's a big loss for the Black Knights too. I know some Robbinsville people who considered Phillips your best all around player.
Shope and Bodine are big losses on the d-line but Murphy will definitely not be counting on JV players to fill those spots. Rashad Davis will take Hunter Shope's spot on both sides of the line and he's going to be a beast, kid would've started anywhere else in the conference this year. The other likely replacement on the d-line is Slade's younger brother Bailey McTaggart, who will be a senior next year and got plenty of reps this year. Murphy's d-line will be fine, maybe not quite as good next year but it won't be too far off, especially with Rayburn and Stalcup returning.
Don’t sleep on there rising junior running back Barber, kid can definitely play in college and uncle played d1 so he’s got the bloodlines. He runs hard and will surprise many people.North Stanly has lived through having a Div 1 runningback for the last 7 years with only 3 playoff wins. There are no more coming down the pipeline. We all play in such a terrible 1a conference that we are always guaranteed 4-5 wins per year, but that is about all that NS will win next year. Get over yourself and enjoy your return back to reality.

I doubt very much that Mitchell will be in the 1AA in the foreseeable future. As I have mentioned in another tread my daughters graduated in 2013 & 14 when they were at Bowman middle school there were four middle schools now they are going close the last two Harris & Bowman and are going build one below the high school and this past year they already played football as Mitchell middle school. So obviously the student population is down.Biggest factor off all is which level Mitchell and Murphy will be in. Both 1A, both 1AA, one in each. That will likely decide the state champions of 1A.
When has North had a "shot" at a State Title? You don't win State in losing in the 3rd Round. And if you don't think the coaches are out actively trying to get kids to come to North Stanly then you are more delusional that you sound. You can call it what you want but if I'm a decent player I'd like to play for a coaching staff that can coach.
That's fine, we're all entitled to our opinion. Like you said it will be settled on the field, I like Murphy's chances.I'll stand by my stance that we are the favorites. We'll settle it on the field next fall.

lol Mount Airy ain't winning nothing next year with or without that kid or anytime in the future wit Wallace Rose Hill and Reidsville moving down in 2021 and the Vikings of Tarboro will always be right there. Mount Airy don't have the athletes to match up wit those 3 now or ever.Bears will have a stable of running backs next year, johnathon Smith will be the feature back running behind a very experienced offensive line. The backfield in Mt Airy will be very good for the next few years. Qb is good , having another year under his belt will help, he looses the Greene’s but picks up penn and a couple more . Kaulin Smith will have a great year. Bears will move to a run based offense and you will see poindexter look like a more typical bear qb in extending the pocket and running it abit. Reminiscent of Araon Wheeler and Austin Taylor. Wouldn’t count on gosnells moving to Carroll county , same rumor circulated last year . If he does Mt Airy is closer than heading up the mountain every day to Hillsville, as a parent I would send my kids 15 minutes to Ma, not for athletics but because it’s a safer drive than heading the mountain every day. With or without gosnell east will be very good. But doesn’t matter either way , Bears are gonna still be good enuff to beat them with what they have and the offense I for see them running . I wouldn’t count my chickens before they hatch. If gosnell ends up at Ma, that addition wins a state championship, a couple with the younger gosnell in the mix
