    Smoky Mountain Mustangs???

    FHS probably won’t be able to get WCU again because they have a home game next Saturday. Not sure where the next game will be.

    Smoky Mountain Mustangs???

    Goldendomer is spot on. Franklin is back to being Franklin of the past few years. Solid line play, run first offense and a Young at RB that can deadlift houses. One of the nicest and most respectful kids I have ever met who takes great pleasure in dominating other people. And he is only a...

    Putting PHS field back probably not good idea anyway! Could Happen again.

    He is serious, and don't call him Shirley.

    Murphy - Andrews - HD consolidation

    Cherokee County folks, I realize that you guys face a lot of opposition to consolidation due to tradition. Did you face any opposition due to cost? I realize y'all got a grant and that helped tremendously, but are you guys going to have to raise taxes any? I ask this because in Macon County, we...

    Murphy - Andrews - HD consolidation

    Franklin won't be 2A for a while, I don't think. We started allowing Early College kids play sports at the high school again, so our numbers will be way too high for 2A unless that gets changed back.

    Swain County folks

    I swear half of the merchandise sold by Swain County retailers up until the settlement was just bumper stickers that said "Build the Road!"

    If you could rename your school mascot

    Cardinal is Stanford's nickname. This refers to the color, not the bird. The tree is a member of the band, and every year the band chooses a new person to be the tree. I've always liked marching bands, and Stanford's is unique because it is student-ran. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I...

    If you could rename your school mascot

    I don't know if this was a headline or not, but I swear when I was a kid I remember a newspaper referencing "two arrested for sexual misconduct on Chunky Gal."

    If you could rename your school mascot

    At some point, Swain County was the Ridgerunners, a name for mountain folks and specifically moonshiners. I was pulling for Ole Miss to go the Admiral Ackbar route, but I guess they thought it was a trap.

    If you could rename your school mascot

    Unpopular opinion here in Franklin: I wouldn't get rid of the Panther but I sure would like to replace Rocky Top after touchdowns.

    Looks like no home games this year for the Pisgah again.

    Any flooding affecting the stadium this week?

    Best/Worst NC HS stadium you’ve been to & why.

    That's the downside of having such a good streaming crew. Those guys are fantastic, but I think it's become easier for some people to do that than come to the game.

    I hate playing canned music during high school football games. Let your crowd and your band fill that space. The only thing I can get behind is maybe a celebration clip or something like the intro to For Whom the Bell Tolls on 3rd/4th down. Pre game music is an exception.

    I did not expect to see the Panther Pit on anybody's good list. I always thought our stadium is a bit of a cracker jack stadium that just happens to have the best field around. We do have a good fan base, though, so thanks!
