Danny Ford was a hard nose !! I went to Clemson football camp 1978 I believe. He was country as they come and just as intense as he was on tv. He always had a big chew in his jaw
Western Regional Championship Robbinsville vs Mitchell
- Thread starter Gentle Knight
- Start date
John and Hank were both big strong guys. The other John Phillips that went to wake made the cowboys practice squad. John was team captain and all American at Clemson.
You are FOS you can't get here in a car that quick 3.5 hrs
My preacher bragged on our kids how well they represented our county fri night didn't show their hind ends kept their composure nothing dirty outta the Mitchell kids
Google maps does say 2 hrs and 29 mins. It just seems like so much further. Made that trip in the spring.
This thread gonna be dead all week looks like, Robbinsville and Mitchell both looking for a big win fri, who will
That is in a car add an hour for a bus especially on those curvy roads
Let's all try and keep it clean on here this week and leave names out of it, we can have fun talk a little junk without fussing look at our last thread went real smooth, I have said all year we would meet up again with the SMC just didn't think it would be 5th ed, good luck to both teams hope for an exciting game no injuries and safe travels to our kin from the smokies, Anyone?
James and I believe another issue at Dallas was some kinda.injury at Wake was an issue with Dallas.
Give us something to start with. What’s you thoughts on the current Mitchell team compared to spring? Which position groups are better or even or maybe a step below? Oline, Dline, Backs?
Same for Robbinsville? Everyone seems to think spring team was better. Is that just because of Collins? Looks like Williams and Adams are better than Williams and Hooper. Thoughts?
Mitchell is better than in the spring, not as many weapons, but line and linebackers are better. This isn't Mitchell's most talented team ever, but they keep on over-achieving. Honestly, they probably shouldn't have beaten Thomasville or Mount Airy, but here we are. Tough row to hoe this week. Robbinsville is playing lights out. I just hope our boys can hang tough and keep it close.
I wonder if Rville is going to be to cold to play
Or if the Mitchell players coming out of the woods is going to scare them
Or what about the purple smoke is that going to choke the rville players out

I wonder if you can not be a sarcastic jackass for 1 post?
Sounds like both teams are over achieving then. A lot of the Robbinsville fan base wasn’t expecting to be playing this weekend.
Hahaha, don’t see any of that as an issue. They have seen it all before as has all the SMC. Not much seems to bother the SMC but other SMC.
I know I seem to have downplayed this Mitchell team but dad gone if they don’t just keep surprising me. I really think they have overachieved this year. I attribute that to great senior leaders (looking at #22 here. Along with #3 and a couple of others). But I honestly thing this is a huge challenge this week. Thing will have to go extremely well to come out with a W. Rville seems to have turned it up and be hitting on all cylinders right now.
Go Mountaineers
At least you saw the humer in the post
Williams and Adam’s are the best backs we will see. This team is a year older without as much talent, but maybe a toughness lacking last year.
Supposed to be record high temps this week up here so no cold
I watched Mitchell Thomasville last week and Robbinsville Murphy this week. I have NO dog in this fight. Robbinsville will have to self implode to lose this game. Just too many weapons especially now with their QB play. 2 of the best running backs in the state and 2 big receivers. Fastest linebackers have seen anywhere . A line on both sides of the ball with years of experience . How, can Mitchell pull it off? Yes with zero mistakes and some turnovers
And by the way, you won't "out tough" Robbinsville .

Like I said, I'm sure our boys will play their guts out. I just hope they can keep the score respectable.
Weaver and Martin are about a carbon copy. Adams is probably the best athlete of the 4. Martin is a better runner than Williams. Williams is the best blocker in the bunch.
I'm not sure Cuttler is a better athlete than Weaver, in my opinion they're about neck and neck. Cuttler might have more pure speed but Weaver is shiftier. They're both big time on defense but in slightly different ways. They are the two best all around football players in the conference.
I can agree with that but still think Martin has better vision as a runner than Williams. Looks to me Williams misses some lanes from time to time basically just running north and south.
I hope you're correct. I'm not as confident. Its gonna be a dog fight.
Teams are very close. I do feel like if we stop their qb we win. Mitchell has much more to try and stop with us. This game will probably come down to penalties and turnovers . And those 2 things have been a thorn in the Knights side this year.
Question is can you stop our 1900 rushing yd qb and 3 right at 1000 yes rbs? Might be high scoring they gave up 47 last week we haven't given up 47 in the last 9 games? Just asking
Not saying we will. All I’ll say is that you won’t out tough us either. So it’ll come down to can we contain their athletes and move the ball on offense
Looking at the stats it does appear the heavy load Cuttler takes on offense has slowed his production on Defense.
I think Williams has excellent vision. He looks for people to run over instead of running around. And that's the truth.
Cuttlers tackles are down this year only because hes been in pass coverage so much.
Trust me. Adams is a better athlete than Weaver. Not taking one thing away from weaver but Cutler is the better athlete. I will agree on Martin being better than Williams as far as running goes.
We heard Thomasville had too many athletes for us, Mt.Airy was far superior and too tough on D. Now we will hear all week we can't stop Robbinsvilles backs and they are tougher than us, BK or some of his ilk will bring up Andrew's manhandled us. As many have said this may not be the best Mitchell team so far but they sure have the grit. This will come down to line play and tackling. Go Mitchell
Weaver is good at everything, look at how he excels at basketball and baseball, he's a natural born athlete that's good at anything he does. I'm not saying Cuttler isn't the same way. I give Cuttler the slight edge because he's a grade younger but to me at least it's pretty close.
You have lost your mind 2 D1 RBS on Thomasville and you think Robbinsville is better? You been breathing some maroon SMOKE alright
He does look to be happy taking the 4 or 5 yards the defense gives and delivering a blow at the end.
