Wow it's a rare thing in the past to see Murphy not picked in a game but picked to lose one by 27 I don't believe I've ever seen that at least in a NC 1A match up.

Yeah thats crazy to see Murphy picked to get walloped like that...but thats why they play the game. I would also be surprised if Starmount keeps it within 32 pts of MA...no one else has..

I think Murphy might match up well with ER.
Murphy is good passing. If ER has a weakness it's pass Defense.

ER not having to play kids both ways will be huge after halftime

They may have dropped to a 1A school but with 2A sports numbers or at least in football ! Will it be a Tarboro vs Eastern Randolph the next 4 years State Championship ?

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

I don't think so.

I will take Robbinsville and give the points.
