    Rosman 2021 Fall

    I've heard that most everyone in the conference would be in favor of it, I think it's in serious enough conversation that it's being voted on soon if it's not already been. As much as some might not like the idea of it, it is also terrible when only 2 or 3 teams in the conference can field...

    One of the crazier things about Mitchell not getting over the hump is that they almost always lose to the state champion. Mitchell has lost to the eventual state champion 7 out of the last 8 times they've been in the playoffs, with Whiteville in 2014 being the only one that didn't go on to win...

    Mitchell @ Avery

    It's sad to see the tri counties and surrounding area drying up, just 20 to 30 years ago each tri county fielded 3 to 4 teams per age group in the rec leagues for football, now each county is barely able to to field one team per age group. This year there is just 3 teams per age group in the...

    Mitchell @ Avery

    It does seem the local Avery County names become less and less as years go by on their teams, which is completely understandable when you see how the blue collar local families have been pretty much uprooted from Linville to Banner Elk and Beech Mountain and replaced with wealthy families from...

    Mitchell @ Avery

    Yeah it makes it much more enjoyable to watch with commentators and not just hear I think it is, it appears to be a first down from the stadium announcer like the Forest Hills game, lord that was annoying. I watched one of Avery's earlier games and they had Deelee Scott and Teddy Bare doing the...

    Mitchell @ Forest Hills

    Mitchell most definitely didn't play their best game tonight, but that was definitely not a bad team. I would argue that was about as good a team as we've seen this year. I think people have looked at their 2-3 record and thought they weren't, 2 of their losses are to undefeated West Stanley 21...

    Yall have Mitchell County to thank for those Hollifields too, lol. Their grandpa left here and moved to Kings Mountain many moons ago I think to work a job in the mining industry. If you ever hear the name Hollifield 90 percent of the time you can bet that they have roots in southern Mitchell or...

    Heritage @ Mitchell

    I was really impressed with Mitchell jvs last night, I'm just glad they're going to be able to get a few games in after being told they were just going to fold the season and combine a couple weeks ago due to only having 14 players to dress out. I think they will make a really good team on...

    Heritage @ Mitchell

    Judging by my trip there tonight I'd say it's the key for Mitchell and Heritage, place was crawling with middle school football players from East Yancey, Cane River, and Mitchell after their games tonight, probably at least 20 players there. Avery was the only Toe River team that didn't look...

    Heritage @ Mitchell

    I'm guessing that Statesville win is carrying and will continue to carry a lot of weight in Mitchell's maxpreps ranking as they have won their next two and I feel pretty confident they may win out the rest of their schedule as their conference seems a little down. Several McDowell friends had...

    Heritage @ Mitchell

    Like others have said until Mitchell shows that they can win this game on a somewhat consistent basis you've got to give the nod to Heritage, but I still hope for the best and am proud of how this years team has played. Sometimes I try not to even look at this thread on the week of the game...

    Statesville @ Mitchell

    Total yards was Mitchell 301 to Statesville 147 and Mitchell 19 first downs to Statesville's 6 including only one first down in the 2nd half. Just blown away by Mitchell's performance considering having an entire brand new line and a sophomore qb that had not played a full game since middle...

    Statesville @ Mitchell

    Down to 33 now here in the southern extreme of the county with .73 inches of rain today at my house. Little Switzerland area is now down to 32.1 with snow mixing in, but the closest weather station to the stadium is at 36 right now. They have issued a winter weather advisory now through 10 pm...

    Mount Airy vs MICS

    We didnt play Hendersonville this year or the last several years, I was just giving them as an example of how Mitchell has done better against those type teams than against smashmouth teams over the last decade. Hendersonville was not very good by their standards this year but Mitchell was...

    Mount Airy vs MICS

    I would argue that Mitchell's strength this year is their secondary. Typically at least for the last decade or so Mitchell matches up well with teams that throw the ball a lot ( Hendersonville), but have struggled with teams that can match them physically and run it right at you ( Heritage...
