Last time these team played was in the 3rd round 2 years ago and it was a shoot out. Robbinsville was down 35-21 going to half and Robbinsville came back and won I think 50-47. Are we gonna see another shootout. Will Robbinsville stop the highflying offense or can North Rowan stop the ground and pound? What is everyone thoughts
#1 Robbinsville vs #4 North Rowan
- Thread starter BlackKnightPride23
- Start date
Another Speed vs Power matchup that we always see this time of year. North Rowan is super fast. Morrow is legit, and Alexander at 6'4 205 could be a matchup problem for Robbinsville. The cavs are also a completely different team to prepare for than Swain county, so rville will have to shift gears a bit.
That being said, the Knights adapt better defensively than any team I've seen this year. It comes down to whos D is going to stop the others offense, and signs point toward Rville.
Also, rville had something going in the passing game last week with their TE in the flat which kept Swain from going all out to stop #4, another wrinkle teams will have to prepare for.
The Knights offense does what they need to do week in and week out. Sometimes the hardest thing to stop is the thing that's coming right at ya.

Was wondering if anyone was going to post a thread about this week’s opponent for Rville…
Lot about last week, rightfully so, and a few have mentioned the contest they think will occur next week…
Good luck to both teams.

Robbinsville is much better at tackling in space then heritage. That was the difference last Friday ,QB would get out of pocket backers for heritage could not tackle. The knights will score Everytime against norths defense. Robbinsville 35-21
I think this year our corners and safeties are better than what we had in the shootout. Pass defense as a whole has been pretty good all year. I really don’t see them stopping our rushing attack and I don’t think they will like getting hit in the mouth as hard as what Robbinsville is going to hit them. Robbinsville 42-21
Heard a lot of the same thing last week. Green team would be too physical for NR. Should be a good one
Watched NR/Thomasville game and they are not bad. They usually spread it out but ran right at Bulldogs. Have good speed both sides of ball. Will come down to how these teams match up.
Pulling for North Rowan in this game. Forest Hills played them early this season and beat them 41-13. I knew they had talent but the problem that night was depth for NR. They looked gassed at halftime against us but we had twice as many players to work with during the game. Their QB was very good and they have good speed. Hope it's a good game. Go Cavaliers!!! Also congratulations to Robbinsville for advancing to the 4th round!!
The Cavs by a helmet!
If they are riding their horses it could be by a lance.

NR probably has more talent. But I doubt there’s a team with more heart than Robbinsville after seeing last weeks performance.
Heart with less talent will beat talent with less heart any day of the week.
Rville 28-21

Against us they kicked XPs. They made one and we blocked the other.
This must be the calmest or least read thread. Only one person liked my “by a helmet and lance” post.
It is the unknown factor. Cooking their turkey and getting ready for turkey day
That’s the way most post. They let the kids play the game……
I'm quietly watching. Not real confident about it. As everyone has said, our defense is giving up a lot on the ground but we can score quickly. Football after Thanksgiving is a great thing!
Football after thanksgiving is always great. Look forward to the game Friday night at the big oaks .
I'd love to but won't get off work in time to make a 7:30 kickoff. It's close to a 4 hour trip. I'll be following closely. Go Cavs!
You all watch out the old a$$ candy man has spoke lol. I guess if his team was in the conversation it would be different but that hasn’t been the case in 15 years. What time Elkin play oh yeah that is basketball now
Is there any good restaurants in Robbinsville besides the normal fast food places? I plan on getting to Robbinsville early on Friday and spending the night there.
Tapoco Lodge is my favorite in Graham County--cool spot overlooking the river, but it's about 15 minutes outside of town and is better if the weather is nice. In town there's a pizza buffet, typical small town Mexican place, diner by the courthouse, and a few other places.
Tell work there are priorities in life and Friday is one of them. LOL
North Rowan went from playing in Tarboro on Thanksgiving in 2019 to Robbinsville in 2023.
I guess that’s a good thing about being on the east/west line. You get to see the whole state.

An unfortunate thing in my opinion...
But the piedmont is a beautiful place to live.
My recommendation is Lynn’s Place or Papas pizza. Both are good imo.
When I came up to Robbinsville-Murphy playoff game two years ago, we were going to to stop at Lynn’s Place but it was closed. We had to settle for Wendy’s. Lol!!
I’m glad I got to see Big Oaks before the changes. It was a great environment to watch a game.

It’s a pretty solid Wendy’s though lol
Thanks! I'll be there!
Got to see some film this morning on North Rowan against Mountain Heritage...this team could be a problem for Robbinsville
It’ll come down to whose defense can make the most stops. I’ll bet on Robbinsville.
