What does Bishop bring to the table offensively and defensively?

Offensively Murphy goes as #28 goes, he had another huge game last night against Polk and is finally back healthy again the last couple of weeks after playing a big chunk of the season less than 100%. #5 has been doing well as a change of pace back for Murphy, especially for a freshman, but needs to work on doing a better job with ball security. Murphy is very limited in the passing game, but has kids with the ability to make plays if the ball is delivered.

Murphy is pretty banged up on D, they had two of their top defensive starters out last night and a third who played limited snaps before going out entirely, he's also their kicker and punter and it hurt special teams pretty significantly. Two of those three kids are done for the season and it will hurt moving forward but hopefully they can at least get the other one back on the field soon.

First time with 2 home playoff games….Very young team as well, 9 seniors.
Murphy is very young too, only starting a couple seniors on either side of the ball. Their best player #28 is a senior though and losing him will really hurt but they have some good pieces to build around moving forward, including two really talented freshman. Biggest areas of improvement for Murphy going into next year will be getting more production from the QB position and improved LB play.

Murphy has the pedigree and system, Bishop has a very good coach (and staff) (not saying Murphy doesn’t as I know the history of coaches) plus Bishops kids are hungry as hell.

Maybe and we shall see. Teams are 0-0. 1 bad Game dooms a team and the same for playing the best game of the year.

Holcomb is a real good coach and he has those kids thinking they can win at BM. Give it a few years with success like this and kids from schools in High Point, Greensboro, Winston Salem and Davidson County will be over there and they will be very good. Time will tell.

BM maybe be a team to be feared. I noticed in the BM-CTK game stats that BM had 111 combined tackles (55 solo and 56 assists). Pretty amazing since CTK had only a little over 50 plays that ended with possible tackles.

No one knows. Murphy could travel down that mountain and be sluggish and overlook Bishop and Bishop play their best game or they come down the mountain and play great. No one knows.

Imagine what kind of stats they will have when they recruit better players
