I’ll never pick against my guys! I’m aware Asheville is the favorite but I can’t do it. Also, if we can’t win the conference (which we still can) just don’t let TCR to win it.

This has the potential to be a trap game so to speak for Asheville. Never thought I’d say that about a Reynolds matchup, but it’s one of those games where Reynolds could salvage their entire season by pulling off an upset Friday. I imagine they’ll pull out every stop in the book to get a win. As they should. They will have enough talent to beat us if we decide we think we are gonna have a cake walk to a conference championship. We have a couple games left where if we have a 100 penalty yards and 3 turnovers we could lose. I agree with the “anybody but tc” sentiment. Hating tc Roberson is what brings all mountain schools together.

I would hope they would really want this game. Reynolds has been kicking their butts for the last decade. Reynolds has turned what used to be one of the biggest rivalries in the state,into just another game. Hopefully the next few years Asheville can make it a top rivalry game again. But I understand what you're saying. Having 2 of your biggest rivals in back to back games could always be a problem.

Enka and Roberson next week will be interesting. I think Enka can keep it close but TC has too many athletes.

I thought Reynolds had more talent than their record showed. And they definitely pulled out all the stops by running a fake punt and onsides kicks against back ups after being put on a running clock.

I’m glad I was wrong about Asheville potentially coming out flat or it being a trap game. I’d be curious to see what the stats were for this game because I feel like Ashevilles offense didn’t have the ball hardly at all. I thought coach Radford showed class by calling off the dogs early when it was 40-3. The final score of 40-17 was actually closer than the game was. I respectfully disagree that Reynolds had more talent than their record indicated. I thought Asheville was glaringly faster bigger and more physical. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a bigger talent gap between these 2 teams. If you named the top 10 best players on the field last night, 9 of them would have been from AHS

I just found out today that Asheville had 2 defensive starters out for the game and lost a 3rd starter early in the 2nd quarter...hope we can get all 3 back next week
