I think its widely accepted that Tarboro should be ranked higher than Mitchell. But these rankings are pretty bad. Thomasville looked awful friday night, and Eastern Randolph got their clock cleaned by Eastern Alamance. Mount Airy will get waxed by East Surry, and I'll be surprised if Mitchell beats Watauga. Apparently the Pioneers are supposed to be the real deal this year.

I tend to agree. I don’t know what the schools out west look like this year - but on Tarboros end I will say as of right now, there is no doubt they are better than they were last year by a pretty substantial margin.

That’s scary. As for Mitchell, they put up 42 on Erwin with the QB only running the ball 10 times. I think they are more versatile than last year. You gotta be able to pass to beat the Vikings.

And Mitchell will get their test next week against Watauga.
Mitchell has a big target on their back this year and I'm sure Watauga would love to revenge a home lost last year on Mitchell's first home game on the new truf field. Watauga is #12 in the 4A West but they play #6 2A West, Maiden Friday so I guess they won't be looking ahead to the game just like I hope Mitchell isn't.
If I remember right some other states that use the RPI ranking system gives smaller schools extra credit for playing bigger schools I wish NC did that, of course I guess it would make it harder to get the larger schools to play the smaller schools.

I agree on Thomasville being ranked too high. With a healthy Dickerson, maybe. We’re not in the conversation right now. Hopefully, some folks will step up.

This isn’t chest beating either. I know it’s early, things can happen , and these are kids but they looked that good the other night.
I think most feel they looked better Friday night as they did at any point last year.

Mount Airy gonna have to prove something if they want that respect that their posters think they should have😂😂
Friday night they proved a couple of things to the people that were there: One; being "dominated" may only until Mt Airy can run one or two plays, and then the scoreboard changes again.
Two; the Mt Airy coaches can and will make adjustments to negate the other team's advantage.

Does that make us world beaters? No, but until you have your butt in the stands and watch how fast and how skilled and how determined these Bears are, how about a little respect. Anybody that thinks North Surry does not have a solid football team did not see the game. And Mt Airy won the game, not by a point, not a touchdown, but by a fair amount.

That comment was just about stupid, disrespectful, and just plain right down ignorant.

Good. I’m glad y’all won a game. Glad y’all had a good season last year. That’s the issue with most Mt. Airy posters. You think you deserve respect. Respect is earned. Y’all found out last year that they weren’t the world beaters all you posters thought they were after a loss to Mitchell. Maybe they will prove otherwise this year.

I repeat, waxed. And just like last year, yall think because you beat 2a North Surry, you are world beaters again. East Surry will curb stomp Da Bears. I watched the highlights, the bears line and run defense was atrocious. Boaz will run wild Friday night.
I spoke of those concerns after the Wythe Scrimmages. Was told that I was a Dumbass Idiot. But my concerns proved to be spot on. A North Surry team that I will assure you, your team does not want to play, capitalized on those areas of concern. But one of the best high school coaching staffs made adjustments, minimized the deficits, called the plays that allowed our assets to shine, and we won the game.

No one from Mt Airy has said anything but great things about our neighbors, East Surry. They are loaded. They are talented. They are scary good. But the Bears will show up and do our best to compete.

Just a question: when will your team(s) show up to play 2A East Surry? What I thought. You will not. So Put a lid on the disrespect. Nobody from this part of woods disrespected Mitchell for the butt whupping they got against Tarboro last year. I even pulled for Mitchell.

You’re funny. Don’t know whose teams you’re referring to but I assure you that most of the teams represented in this conference will play anybody on any given day. Swain, Robbinsville and Murphy have all feasted on teams that were in bigger classifications than them. Teams that on paper should win by 40, got that tail whooped by those 3 teams. I assure you Mt Airy isn’t the only 1a team that will show up to play East Surry. Don’t think the bears are special because of that.

Just to be fair - the Bears got a worse "whupping" in 2017.

Mitchell has 2 4a an 1 3a teams on their schedule. They aren't afraid of East Surry, and they certainly aren't afraid of North Surry lol. I'm sure our coaching staff would like another shot at the Cards, as a matter of fact. But I digress... Back to the curb stomping at hand,
East Surry 42
Mount Airy 14.

LOL, Tarboro should be beating all 4A by now. Why, because someone is always saying Tarboro is better than last year every year. Who can beat them if they always get better than the year before? Should be the best team in America by now. LOL, Just saying...... Not trying to be a smart #*** but think about how it sounds.

Tarboro fans are humble, and are honest in their self assessment. If they say the Vikings are better than they were last year, I'm inclined to believe them.

Just about everybody that was a Tarboro fan on this site said last fall that we were down by our standards last year. Even went on record saying if anybody was going to beat Tarboro last fall was the year to do it in the east. Last fall's team shows just how great tarboro's coaching staff is more than anything. And come on man you know good and well tarboro wouldn't beat those 4a school's in Charlotte like chambers and mallard Creek.

Y’all can take it how you want to but between buzz and TD last year, it was unbearable.
Hey smart guy I have said East wins by two scores. I said last year MA wouldnt win state bc of no discipline. I tell it how I see it. And can a fan on a damn message board about HS FB not brag on his team and the kids. MA has respect with alot of Tradition. Hell tell me last time they had a losing season.....look it up will be hard to find. We are MA!!!!!!

MA offense is actually better than last year they will score 14 in 1st qrt. Defense is not as strong but offense can score in one play.

To be fair was 12-0 in 4 the qrt. #2 that contained outside edge got hurt and y'all ran to that side and scored easy.
That was a really good Mount airy team. Tarboro offensively just did what their offense is designed to do, grind down a defense and deliver the knockout blow in the 4th quarter.
