A lot of good measuring stick games early for Swain and Robbinsville. Both play heritage and Franklin and they’ll both be at the same scrimmages back to back weeks (not playing each other of course).
I’ll also be curious as to how the new coach at Cherokee will do. They usually have a lot of talent but it’s a hard place to coach. The Asheville Citizen has them picked to finish 2nd this year.
I’ll be interested to see if Swain can pull it off against Rville. They haven’t beat Rville since 2017 and it always seem like they’ve got a mental block against them.
I honestly think Robbinsville will finish 2nd in conference behind Murphy. Clem is the best player in the conference and will be really hard to stop. I think it’ll be tight between Swain and Cherokee for 3rd.
From what I’ve heard thru the grapevine they should have good skill players, but are lacking upfront. Also heard they are up in the air about who their qb will be.
His resume is very impressive. I like the things I’ve heard about him so far. It’ll be interesting to see about their offense. It’s really been their Achilles heel the past few years.
What are thinking this year for the SMC? A lot of roster turnover and some coaching turnover. Seems to be a lot hype and excitement around Cherokee and Swain with the new coaching hires.
