At this point, I'd have some of the starters out of the game. Swain isn't going to threaten anything offensively.
Thomasville-Swain 2nd Round
- Thread starter bigtime_87
- Start date
Thomasville has a big Full Back. Think they said he was 5”8’ 235 pounds. He ran hard. That being said, when Swain gets the offense rolling, they will be hard to deal with.
He turned it on in the 2nd half for sure. I think maybe 5lbs of that 235 is fat. #24 played a great defensive game for Thomasville. Good luck in the next round. Swain looked like they were running plays to run the clock out. But I'm not going to dog the coaching staff in their first year. Give him some time and see what he can do.
That game was much more competitive than the score. Safe travels back up the mountain. The choice to play tonight was a good one weather wise.
Man I love rainy games. Both teams played well on defense. The juggernaut Smith took over in the second half. #56 was good for Swain.
Swain fans, travel safe back to the mountains.

Good ball game in the rain. Thomasville defense continued to make big plays when needed. Swain is a solid team.
How about those flatlanders!!!
Hope #65 is OK. I guess he dislocated his shoulder or got a good stinger on the play where he was flagged for tackling our guy waaay out of bounds. And I'm guessing #62 will be out since he was ejected for throwing a punch (which I didn't see from the camera watching it online). Didn't seem to hurt your defense too much.
How is losing #2 and #5 going to affect you guys next year?

Swain, Hayesville and Cherokee were all 1-4 in conference play. Swain beat Cherokee, Cherokee beat Hayesville, Hayesville beat Swain. Crazy year.
You're all like the ACC in basketball
65 has been banged up all year but still plays. 2 and 5 are real good but #7 and another 9th grader are back and both can play. Defense returns 9 starters and offense like 8. Got a 6'2 JV QB that will take the reigns and be just fine. He is fast and can throw the ball around.
Wasn’t really a punch, but still stupid.
Certainly will hurt to lose those kids, but there’s a freshman that will be better than either. Played jv QB, but could play several positions. Good group of juniors, with several good underclassmen. We shouldn't fall off much, if any. When we lost our best player for the year in July and the East-West offensive MVP graduated, I never thought we’d get this far.
Dang if it wasn’t a punch that’s a shame, didn’t see it due to the camera. Good game all around, just a few plays and momentum shifts decided this thing. Swain has got to eliminate the mistakes if they want to be competitive next year.
By the way, congratulations to the Bull dogs. Next season I feel Swain will be much better overall, but for now y'all win round three!
