Great game. I hope for both of our sakes Robbinsville wins the state championship and is as quality of a team as I think they are. I expected more from us, but a win is a win I suppose. And our crowd was nothing short of pathetic. Even for us.
Expected more? D gave up 45 last year and 14 this year despite having to replace both middle backers. Offense lost POY QB and started 3 freshmen (1 at QB) along with 3 new OL. I guess high expectations are a good sign though

4 from robbinsville is a beast. They won’t lose another game for the remainder of the season. Asheville was able to contain robbinsville on D and the cougar offense was able to move the ball and create big plays. Freshman qb didn’t turn the ball over. Didn’t get a chance to watch it I was over at Reynolds watching them give west Forsyth a butt whooping. Listened to the radio after the game and sounded like a great game

It is my opinion that a good 4A team should beat a good 1A team pretty handedly. Robbinsville certainly didn’t look like a 1A team but still.

Robbinsville isn’t a pushover for anyone. They could play a college team and get whooped but that college team would know they had played somebody. They fight hard. I wouldn’t think too much into that. The SMC has made a living feasting on bigger and “better” opponents. If you walk off the field with a victory against Robbinsville, Murphy and Swain most years, you have accomplished something. The same can be said about Andrews this year. They are gonna be really hard to handle.

I see your point but I just don't view Asheville as 4a like the bigger schools. And Robbinsville would finish no worse than 3rd in 4a/3a MAC right now. That is a well oiled machine they have. That is why I was pretty happy with a win

The college team might be a stretch lol

Robbinsville was inside the 30 with 50 second left down by 6 even without Williams and only returning 5 on D and 5 on O. And breaking in a new QB. We will be better after a few more games
I know the kid threw a couple of picks, but I was actually impressed with the QB for R'ville. The 4th and 9 scramble for a first down on the last drive deep in Cougar territory was nothing but sheer will.

Just wondering who you guys think we will replace Asheville with. This series is done I'm almost positive.
I'd like to see us play T.C. Roberson, Owen or Polk maybe.

That's about what I thought as R'ville really controlled the time of possession. But you left out one game stat.
