    Way too Early Look for next Year

    You have to be dominant up front for that to hold, Murphy o-line would need to take a big step forward, which they may. Murphy would also need a serious third threat in the backfield for that to be realistic, Tarboro had almost three 1,000 yard backs last year. Clem and Davis will need help, be...

    Way too Early Look for next Year

    Genuine question for you though tuff, does the freshman's current standing in any way change the calculus on my overarching point that big strides are necessary at the QB position relative to last season for the 2025 team to achieve a deeper playoff run?

    Way too Early Look for next Year

    I guess we could quibble as to whether "stud" is the appropriate verbiage for a kid that's right now completely unproven at the varsity level but in 2024 Bain was the best looking JV QB Murphy's put on the field since Joey Curry a decade ago. I think at the very least we could both agree that...

    What's your thought on number of playoff teams

    SMC looks pretty down going into this season truthfully, in my opinion even more so than last year. Other than Murphy and Cherokee I don't see anyone that looks to be better on paper compared to last season. If Murphy is as good as I expect them to be and they avoid injuries there's going to be...

    What's your thought on number of playoff teams

    QB play will be the decider for Murphy, they must have noticeable improvement at that spot if they're going to advance further in playoffs next season. 'Dogs should range from good to very good at pretty much every other position group next season, though I do have some questions about what...

    Off-season thoughts

    Agreed, need a starter at the 3 (Coward hopefully) and a backup 5 from the portal and then this group should be set. The ceiling of next year's squad is ultimately going to be dependent on how big of a jump Evans and Foster can take in year 2 and 3 respectively.

    Way too Early Look for next Year

    Murphy with what looks like a nice pickup in the trenches, the rising junior transfer will add some much needed beef (6'4 280) upfront for a squad that was largely missing it last year outside of #71. I'm sure any additions for that matter with an opportunity to contribute will be a welcome...

    Way too Early Look for next Year

    In the 2A west: Corvian loses a lot of seniors, I'm sure they will reload with new players to some degree but have to imagine there will be some level of rebuilding next season. Deana covered what Starmount has returning, I fully expect the Rams to be in the 2A western regional finals next...

    Tarboro vs Corvian for the Ship

    I've seen several Heritage teams play over the years and as far as speed goes this was easily the fastest Heritage team of the bunch by a big margin, #24 and #12 can both fly and the defensive team speed was strong.

    Corvian @ Heritage

    You have to cash in your chances against a good opponent, missed opportunities in the 1st half could come back to haunt them

    Corvian @ Heritage

    Heritage will be disappointed not to be up at half, been two scores better in the 1st half and go into half tied instead.

    Mt Airy this year and the future

    Eastern Randolph is definitely set up to be successful from the jump in the 3A west, but they'll have the same Shelby problem to contend with that MA and Heritage does.

    Mt Airy this year and the future

    Exactly. It will take a once a decade type of team from MA to have a legitimate shot at knocking Shelby off. The 3A east is stacked at the top too with Northeastern and Wallace Rose Hill.

    Mt Airy this year and the future

    I agree, Mount Airy will compete just fine in 3A and on paper are probably the second best 3A west program but as you said Shelby will be in their way in the 3A west which means the days of winning or making it to state title games are over now.
