I understand playing the schedule and in conference games you can’t help. Those 3 teams are always top notch programs. As far as holding Thomasville in check I think some might be misled about Andrews. We are lots more than one back even though one is very special. You pick your poison and the other 4 will take over. Much respect and hope you have a nice 3 hr drive into Andrews.
Round 4 - Draughn @ Andrews
- Thread starter bigtimeEastNC
- Start date
We have 3 defensive backs at 6’2 , 6’3 & 6’3
33 interceptions on the year two shy of breaking State record for interceptions
I’m well aware of what you have and again I am impressed. Andrew’s hasn’t played an offense like ours and we haven’t seen a team like Andrew’s. Its 4th round so at this point all teams are deadly and really good. Looking forward to watching a good game Friday
My post was for BigtimeEast talking about moving QB to receiver because of his height.
Your other DB may not have that height but he can flat play.
i understand that. but comparing 6'3 to 6'7 really isn't a fair comparison.
I think Andrews has 30 and the record is 33.
That's what I saw online.
He is a baller !! I’m just sparring with the dude from Draughn
He seems a little sensitive. I haven’t bragged or boasted about the Wildcats out of respect for SMC foes. I may take the gloves off with Draughn LOLWe had 2 Friday night but for some reason I can’t get to stats on MaxPreps the last 3 days
I read he is the QB’s dad so of course he is.He is a baller !! I’m just sparring with the dude from Draughn
Should be a huge crowd Friday if the rain stays away.
Right now forecast is saying rain should stop an hour or two before game time. Not too cold either.
Did you hear that he is 6 ft 7 inches tallI read he is the QB’s dad so of course he is.
Future Cam Newton. 6'7''.
It's hard to compare the two by watching them play Mitchell. The Andrews game, Mitchell was very banged up including the QB his first game back from a high ankle sprain two weeks earlier plus dealing with a hernia so it's hard to tell how well they'll deal with a elusive QB it will probably be the biggest test for their secondary but he's more dangerous running around throwing the ball across the middle then just dropping back and throwing the long sideline ball.
But the question on the Draughn D is how they'll well they'll handle Andrews running attack especially #7 they looked more vulnerable against the run between the tackles plus with #7 being a dual threat being good at coming out of the backfield for a pass they may have a hard time with that as well Mitchell burned them with they're RB doing that on a TD that was called back but shouldn't have been.
But should be a good game but I'd have to give Andrews the edge just don't think Draughn can stop their running attack and Andrews has a much better D than Mitchell which just wasn't very good this year.
Just my opinion which probably isn't worth much.

Draughn runs inside zone with #5 and an occasional sweep. The QB is tall and athletic but is now getting pressure off the edge and sacked some in the later rounds of the playoffs by athletic good defenses. Andrews has to make him run up the middle into the pocket and he will go down. He will throw across the field and THS dropped 2-3 balls breaking on them on the run that probably would have been a pick six. They will go for it on 4th down (not sure if they have a good kicker) and like to throw screens and short routes to the TB/TE's in the flats.
Draughn is a quality team with good players, well coached with some good athletes. The O/D line are big and seem to be their biggest asset in 1A. Draughn got behind and responded by coming back to score and beat a good team last Friday. Andrews will move the ball and I predict they will break the interception record with 2-3 picks this weekend and win by 14+.
As far as the going for it on 4th down not sure you can go by that wether they have a good kicker or not. In the Mitchell games he looked like he had a good leg on the extra points though on they stats he'd missed 9 in the games they have listed but Mitchell had a real good kicker and he only got to try twice but should have gotten more chances long 35 yards I believe in warm up kicks hit something like like 45 yards consistently.
But high school coaches are bad to go for it on 4th down especially when they're on the other teams side of the field close enough for where most high school kickers can make a field goal no matter how good their kicker is.
High Point Central had 34 in 1999. Checking to see if that is the record.
Tell y'all what! This is the Dream season for one or the other bunch of Cats. But you should Fear the Veer. Couple that with a sound Defensive unit.....special plays and turnovers will decide this game. I am going with Cherokee County's finest.
HPC has the record.
MOST INTERCEPTIONS (SEASON)
- 1) High Point Central 34 1999
- 2) Rosewood 30 1991
I’ve read your posts during playoffs. Stay in your lane man. Your a little touchy and way to sensitive. If you don’t like my posts just keep scrolling. You got to have thick skin on here so don’t take it so serious.
appreciate it !!
I’m about to pull a Bk13-$ on them
I’m about to lay the truth to them. The truth will set you freeThey need to hear the truth. Of course they won't like it.
When he is met by 6’5 lineman T West he might rethink Cam Newton
Got a feeling that Draughn QB and A. Martin will meet a couple times. My money is on Martin.
I'm sure he will get to know both the Martin twins by the end of the night! On a side note I just saw on facebook where weaver got an offer from Mars hill today. All I can say is it's about damn time!
Good luck Andrews from Mitchell County. Show them city boys what mountain football is about.
Hey Swatz, they just don't know do they. Like Tyson said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face!
Maybe so, but Mitchell ain't!
Mitchell sure as hell didn’t.
Appreciate it !! Mitchell County are 1st cousin to SMC. Mountain folk
