Western Regional Championship Robbinsville vs Mitchell
- Thread starter Gentle Knight
- Start date
He has been in the confessional all weekend. Must've said 1000 hail Mary's because of the vulgar song that got played Friday night. In reality, that's probably the reason Robbinsville lost. It was so distracting to the players, they couldn't concentrate.
Maybe he’s in the landfill with all those “trashy” Mitchell people.
Maybe the wrestling coach found him or the Wachachas lol
I'd say it's like the hunger games in Robbinsville right now most posters hiding out in the woods, ole Dee and the wrestling coach and the Wachachas looking for em lol jinxed
Mountie I am so proud of these kids a lot of em have played hurt, and still no quit in em they have represented our county and the west well
After watching Robbinsville dominate Murphy the week before and my only time seeing Mitchell in person was the Andrews game, I definitely thought Robbinsville would be able to manhandle Mitchell at the the LOS. BOY was that not the case lol. Mitchell dogged em up front, won the game in the trenches where Rville usually makes their $. I can admit when I'm wrong, it's usually every week haha. Just trying to highlight the kids and give some ill-advised banter along the way.
Thanks for watching!
Great post
Thanks for the broadcasting you all do. The more these kids and programs are recognized the better. Hey, I will admit I was surprised by how well the Mitchell line controlled the line as well.
Go Mountaineers
I heard he was hiding out in a bear's cave, snuggling up to a bear in hibernation.
Yeah if all I was going by was the Andrews game I probably said the same thing but that definitely wasn't the game to go by.
But it's hard to know how some of these teams match up.
Thanks He works hard and stays in the weight room.
I can't think of a Wachacha who was a stud in the 70s other than my old man DeWitt Wachacha wore #70. 6.2 235 pound D lineman first 2 state titles for Robbinsville and went again his senior year after a terrible chainsaw accident 1 week prior to his senior season he spent 6 weeks in the hospital and lost down to 190 pounds he still made all state and all conference senior year.
Damn Conan gonna rage on some people!
Wrong. Couple things that are facts ! Robbinsville is done for the year and did better than anyone expected. Mitchell has one more game left and in typical Mitchell style won’t be able to close the deal. Again, Tarboro 42 Mitchell 20. I’ll talk to you Saturday around 3 pm so you can say “ Sorry Mr. big oak you were right “ you do know I’m just messing with you and wish you the best of luck. All kidding a side , I do think the west was down this year and Tarboro is 2 scores better than anyone we sent.
I’ve heard coach Colvin say several times Dewitt was the best all around football player he ever coached. Coming from Colvin that’s quite a statement, he coached some good ones . He said he would make 15-20 tackles a game, said he never saw anybody that could block him and he was the best athlete on the field.
WOW!!! That is saying something for the storied history and all the great athletes that have played football at Robbinsville!!! That is incredible to recover from a serious chainsaw accident like that and weight loss and then go play at that level! I can’t even imagine how fresh his scars was and how he ever got them to heal shut and play?? I would have liked to have met that man!
Yet he will never be in the hall of fame other than as a team
He almost cut his left hand off at the wrist when a home lite kicked back on him he put his arm in the way. My uncle Wayne put a make shift tourniquet on it. He played the entire season in a cast.
WOW!!!! That is True Grit right there!! I wish we could put these super human stories from these tough men in some type of interesting format to get the attention of the kids these days? Here is how a man acts and conducts himself in trying circumstances, and that is understating your dad’s situation. Honestly sounds like the young men in your all’s part of the country still have that grit. I wish we could get all these young men around the country acting like that again? Didn’t mean to get off track with that? Randy, hats off to your dad and my upmost respect. I would have liked to had met him!!
I will find out the guys name and get back with you he might have his years or names mixed up he is 80 but I have heard this story for 20 yrs
I asked my uncle he cant remember the name just said he was a Wachacha thinks it was in the 70s said he was the best player he saw that year, thinks he might have played against the streeters at Sylva Webster anyway he thought he died in a car accident maybe you can figure it out, he came with us to Robbinsville in the spring when they called off the roster and he heard Wachacha he said well Sh$t I hope he is not like the one I saw In the 70s lol your last name is famous in SMC football be proud of that and ignore these mamas basement posters lol
Thank you I'm very proud of my last name I played for Cherokee graduated in 02 all I managed was to make it to the 4th round vs swain and lost 7-14 they played state the next game and won by 30. Only recognition I got was all conference guard weighing 178lbs and had 110 tackles on defense as a Tackle. I never could live up to what my old man was but my boy has done a fine job. Good luck to Mitchell at state bring it back to the mountains.
Kids nowadays would ask you what a chainsaw is.
Yep. BK13 too. They're spoiled with all the success Robbinsville has had and are grown men that act like crybabies when they finally lose one. Momma has given them a paci and put them down for their winter nap. They'll be back around this fall to act up all over again.
Mitchell was clearly the better team this year, after watching film, they dominated then LOS
Good luck Mitchell. Beat Tarboro for both of us. I have a feeling we will be getting comfortable playing each other the next few years
I talked to my Uncle tonight he said I had the years mixed up it was 1965 Robbinsville a Wachacha he thinks played against Sylva Webster best player he ever saw he didn't get killed in a car accident he died fighting for our country in Vietnam do you know who he was?
Remember around that time period, give or take a year or so, Sylva Webster had a kid by the name of Tommy Love. Great player, he beat my Elk's out of a western championship
