thanks. Theoretically, Mitchell could go over the .500 all time mark next season. Even with a loss this week, they could go 13-1 next year and reach exactly .500. I know it's not a big deal to some programs, but for us in one decade it would be huge.
Swain won the 1AA title in 2011, not 2012. Swain had a better team in 2012 but they ran into a juggernaut in the title game by the name of SW Onslow.
There have only been 3 years that WNC placed a team in the 1aa ship, vs 8 years in 1a (since sub classes) and all those have been this decade.
Just hang on boys, when R'ville gets to be the size of murphy we will start a new dynasty
Yeah, but most of those years Mt Airy was just above the cut-off of 1A and barely in 1AA. We are not a big 1AA school like some others. In the past we have been real close in size to Murphy.
You are incorrect. They were in the Western Regional Finals last year, which is Round #4. This year they will probably be playing my Knights in a 1A Regional Final (fingers crossed). Where is your team?
First off Murphy was 1AA from '01 to '09, not '00 to '10, there wasn't even a such thing as 1A and 1AA in '00. Second Murphy did make it past the third round in 1AA, so get your facts right.
Yep Swain won a 1AA title in 2011, congrats. Those transfers from Cherokee sure helped though.
Actually all of the Cherokee kids played JV 's, even youth league at Swain so I'm not sure what "transfers" you are referring to. One of Swains top receivers actually transferred TO Cherokee that year (Tisho).
Not true, Tisho played youth league ball at I believe Smoky Mtn and one or both of Wildcatt/Panther was at Cherokee back then too.
Tisho was a non-contributing factor for the 2011 team because he transferred to Cherokee after the 2010 football season. From middle school through high school all the natives played for Swain. I would not classify that as transfers.
One or both of Wildcatt/Panther was at Cherokee schools during youth league years also, I think it was Wildcatt. So that was a big piece on your 2011 team, maybe Swain still wins a title in 2011 without their two best lineman, I don't know.
Again do you count Tisho as a transfer since he spent 5 years at Swain and 1 year at Cherokee playing JV and Varsity football.
So are we just going to overlook the fact that Tisho played youth ball for Jackson Co/Smoky Mountain? He was not Swain kid, so yes he was a transfer. And I see that you chose to just ignore the Wildcatt/Panther part of the conversation.
You really are clueless at times as to what you are talking about, I do applaud your confidence though. Tisho spent the majority of his time in Maroon and White, played youth ball at Cherokee but was a Maroon Devil by the time it was all said and done. That to me does not classify him as a "transfer."
Agree to disagree about the definition of a transfer. Getting a kid in from a different part of the state or country is one thing, never moving and still changing schools is another. I guess we'll also agree to disagree on the definition of a transfer as it pertains to Wildcatt too.
That whooping they put on your boys this year wasn't too much to talk about either ... 49-7. Talk about "big boys" all you want. You just might get to see the flag planted in the middle of your 1/3 capacity stadium a few more times in the next five or six years. You guys are circling the drain. A shell of your former selves. Soft.
Would you classify Seth Curtis as a transfer since he came from Hiwasse Dam.
So he "transferred" to Murphy from ranger, my mistake on the confusion, to play football. Sounds a lot like what you say of the native kids who attended Swain schools and participated in Swain football much longer than he participated in Murphy football. Interesting......
I'm not really not seeing it this way. I went to Tipton Hill, who didn't offer football, and had to play for Bowman. Cherokee does offer football, as does Smoky Mountain, and Swain. Sounds like it was more of a case of wanting to play for a better team than a necessity.
