Come on now fanatic...let us enjoy 2011.
I heard they are still trying to get the pucker marks off the home side bleachers from the final Swain drive to close that game. The figurative, "This can't be happening again!" could almost be heard as the devils marched deep into warrior territory only to be sacked on the final play. Great battle. WM has my all time respect for their toughness and style.
Gal, I know you meant 2011, but that 2001 game in Bryson City between your Maroondevils and my Tigers was also a classic with a seldom used play(HB pass), making the difference...Coach Rod White said after the game," he knew that his team had to do something different because giving the ball back to Jim Fox and Rosman, would mean that we probably would not get the ball back in the last 7 minutues."Originally posted by gal durnit:
You guys are legit contneders this year and for sure next year. That 2001 game arguably could go down as the greatest Swain victory outside of a state title game. And the classic from last year was equally as good. You guys have a class program and I will pull for yall everytime unless the Maroon Machine is lining up against yall. I hate losing but if we ever get beat by someone I respect the Warriors and the Murphy Bulldogs above all the others.
Yeah, it was extra special for me as my nephew who played LBer on that team, intercepted Watson's pass near midfield, and returned it to the Swain 20yd line to setup the Tigers first TD of the night, which suprisingly enough was a fade pass to the back left corner of the endzone with Justin Powell making the reception....Nephew told me years later that he remembers Coach Fox before the game telling the team that they were going to win that game that night....As for the HB pass, the Coaches told the guys to watch out for the trick play, but got to give credit to WR Trey Burns who ran a great route, and used a great head fake to get just enough room for the RB(Stephenson) to loft a perfectly thrown pass over our defensive back...Oh the heartbreak...lol!Originally posted by gal durnit:
Rick that 2001 Swain/Rosman was unreal! What a battle!
