Rank'em:
#1 ACR - You can't stop Rico. Shelby has a passing attack, unlike Asheville.
#2 Asheville - Too conservative to out score ACR
#3 Erwin - Unfortunately
#4 McDowell - Improved
#5 TCR - won't enjoy tackling this week's RB, if they can
#6 NB - QB threw 11 passes to the wrong WR
#7 Enka - staying in games this year

Billy, you always seem so concerned about Asheville's system and style of play to be an Erwin fan.

Asheville by 28. Total ticket sales and concession stand combined will be in the $125.00 range. Q Foundation is bad. I just hope some of our studs get a rest this week.

Reynolds by 28. I see coach Laws letting some of his workhorses get a breather this week.

Erwin by 1. I picked them last week and I'm picking them again. From what I understand, Science Hill lost a lot of talent to graduation but that's all I know about them.

McDowell by 3. I like McDowell and their coaching staff. Glad to see they're getting off to a good start this year. Mitchell won't be an easy out though.

Freedom by 48. TCR is about to get a beat down. If it weren't for the fact that many of their players are from the richest families in North Carolina I'd almost feel sorry for them.

North Buncombe by 1. I don't know what's going on in Weaverville, but it seems like the Blackhawks are either hot or cold. This one could go either way but I'll go with NB cause they are MAC.

Hayesville by 3. I don't even know what colors Hayesville wears. All I know is the Jets are good for one win per season and they've already got that.

We may beat the Q foundation by alot, maybe not, but I do know they probably have 3-4 guys that would start for us. I'm not kidding.

Everyone in the MAC wins this week except for TCR....they are going to have a rough next couple of games. Okay, NB loses this week also, can't convince myself they are better than WH.

Oh yeah, that they do. They had a kid 3 years ago that we couldn't seem to contain. But usually by the 3rd quarter the Q players are beating the snot out of each other in the huddle. I still remember two years ago when the center shotgunned it over the QB's head and when they got back to the huddle the QB had to be pulled off of him. Knocked the living shite out of the poor kid. lol

Ok...any calls on this week's action?

Asheville 42 QF 14...I still haven't figured out what the Q foundation is. This will be a easy game for Asheville.

Reynolds 42 Watauga 21...ACR is playing really good and should have no trouble here.

Erwin 28 Science Hill 24...Erwin takes on another Tennessee power. The 6A hilltoppers will be very hard to beat, but I pray their defense is not half as good as Ootelwha.

Mitchell 35 Mcdowell 28...Mcdowell seems improved and will fight for that #4 spot in the MAC. I will take the home team in this one.

NB 42 WH 35...NB lost to MH last week but a lot of people don't realize that Heritage is a pretty good team.

Freedom 48 Roberson 14....This will not be pretty for the Rams.

Enka 21 Hayesville 14....Enka is much bigger and should always beat a school that small.

Ill be shocked if Roberson scores 14 combined points the next 2 weeks. I don't understand why, assuming you were a good football player, you would stay at tc Roberson and continue to be that awful. They have a couple really good players, particularly the linebacker. If he wants to be noticed more and show what he can do in meaningful games, how could you continue to stay at Roberson and go 4-7 with a team that has the potential to be 8-3? That is a sad sad situation over there.

You are working hard recruiting on here for the Cougars:D. You are trying to get Poore from Erwin and now Roberson's good players as well. It is only fair that any good receivers for the Cougars should come on over to Erwin...Lol. That being said, I do agree with what you said about Roberson. They just don't care over there unless it is soccer or baseball.

It's funny you say that because we were saying that in the stands. We waste our receivers as it is, nobody would blame them if they did leave! I know Austin is good, but you'd be hard pressed to find two better wide receivers in WNC than Drummond and brewer and we split them out wide to stand there and look good.

Science Hill is a solid team, but I wouldn't call them a powerhouse by any means. Most years, they are about the same caliber as Ooltewah. They nearly always make the play-offs, but rarely make it past the 1st or 2nd round. As a whole, Chattanooga (Ooltewah) and the Tri-Cities (Science Hill) are a notch below Knox County and Blount County when it comes to championship-level football in East Tennessee. That being said, Erwin will probably have a long night.

I didn't realize Eastern Tennessee had that caliber of football. Never really paid much attention to what was going on over there. I do know that Knox West was a damn good football team when we played them last year and the year before. I'd like to see that contract renewed in the future.

SH is tied for 4th in the new AP poll.This is the QB from the Johnson City Press about adjusting to QB.

“I thought coming into this season that it might be somewhat close to playing running back, but it’s not,” Bedard said. “It’s a tough transition, but I felt a lot more comfortable this week. The more snaps you get, the more comfortable it feels.

Cougar the football in East Tennessee is pretty good.I noticed Asheville is off next week.If you want to see Maryville play they will be in Johnson City next week playing Science Hill.I know I'm going.Its so fun to watch George Quarles coach a game.

Only one or two good games this week.

Asheville vs Q Foundation. Its embarrassing we are actually playing this game. I don't think Q foundation is as bad as they normally are, but this is still such a stupid game and a waste of time. I believe the first AP poll came out and Asheville was number 4. I personally think that's BS because we do not look like the number 4 team in 3A...at the moment! We certainly have the talent to be that high, but I feel like we are 0-3 after watching our first 3 games. We basically have no games for 2 weeks with the bye coming after this. We should probably work on the passing game, but Battle will probably get another 30 carries. Asheville 42-14.

Reynolds at Watuaga: This is actually an interesting game. How good of a 3-0 team is Watauga? Have they played anybody worth a damn? They COULD possibly give Reynolds a game seeing that its up in Boone, but I predict Rico left, Rico right, Rico up the middle, Rico dropping back to pass and then Rico tucking it and running. Rico selling programs, Rico punting, Rico working cramps out of other players legs and Rico calling the plays. I have yet to see a picture, name mention or any highlight whatsoever of anyone other than Rico for Reynolds this season. He is the show for sure. Reynolds wins this game 34-14, Rico has 30 carries 294 yards.

Erwin at Science Hill: Quick trip to Tennessee for Erwin. Pretty drive to face what they say is the number 4 team in the newest AP poll to face a converted runningback now playing qb. Should be a good tune up for Erwin to see what they will eventually face against Reynolds. If science hill is indeed ranked 4th in whatever classification, Erwin could be in trouble like last week. Erwin drops to 1-3 and starts regretting their tough scheduling by Friday night. Science Hill 35-21.

Freedom at Roberson: This is going to get bad. Really bad. Not only is Roberson's runningback most likely not going to play, but the guy on the other team is one of the best runningbacks in America...Alabama commit BJ Emmons. He needs about 200 yards to become Freedom's all time leading rusher. He will probably get it. Freedom 60-6 and there is no reason why it should be that bad. Those Roberson players need to get out of there.

Please don't insult me saying I'm an Erwin fan. I'm the most objective MF on here talking MAC smack. I have no school colored lenses. I do go to more of Asheville's local big games because of their talent.

I never criticize the Asheville schemes. I do criticize the offensive play calling.

Never have I seen so many talented WRs, TEs, & FBs UNDERused.
Never have I seen so many TBs OVERused.

Screw the Q.
I will probably go see Alabama vs TCR this week.
Emmons running all over TCR is money well spent.

Q Foundation @ Asheville- This will get ugly quickly. Asheville scores early and sits on the lead with their 2's in the game. Hope everyone stays healthy in a game like this. Asheville 41-7.

ACR @ Watauga- This game should be a decent one. Watauga was always a tough place to play in the old NW-4A. Watauga's passing game will keep them in this one for the first half or so. But eventually ACR will out-athlete them. Rico and company will put up some big numbers this week. Give me ACR 49-21.

Erwin @ Science Hill- Tough place to play over in Johnson City. Ferguson has to play his best game of the year to beat them. Look for them to come out hungry and guns blazing after getting blown out at home last week. But Science Hill will just be too much. Give me SH 38-28.

Mitchell @ McDowell- Two much improved teams. Casey Ray can sling it. Give me McDowell 31-27 at home.

Freedom @ Roberson - BJ Emmons. BJ Emmons. BJ Emmons. Game over. Emmons Runs for as much as his coach lets him and they roll Roberson 56-7. Shame.

North Buncombe @ West Henderson- West Henderson isn't bad this year. Tough game to pick. I'll take the MAC team. NB 28-24.

Hayesville @ Enka- wahooo..... what a snoozer that will be. get your wins before you start conference fellas. Enka 34-13.

Sorry, Billy just thought you leaned toward Erwin from some of the posts I saw in the 2013 season. I wouldn't say we under use our TE and FB, heck we're one of the few teams around that actually uses a FB. I'm pretty sure that's why Aquila came back to Asheville because he knew he would not be used in Reynolds' offense. Some of the spread offenses don't use a TE either. We definitely underuse our receivers and overuse our running back though.

if you would have told me at the beginning of the year that Christian green and Ahmad shivers would have a combined 8 carries through week 3 and reggie battle would have 82 I would have called you crazy.

I agree. Supposedly Ahmad was going to get a couple of series against Pisgah but he was sick with the stomach bug and didn't even dress out. I'll believe it when I see it.

well to the guys that says Enka should always beat a school that small. Robbinsville is even smaller than Hayesville. Only 11 or 12 football playing schools in the state that are smaller than Rville. I dont think Enka would ALWAYS beat us. I dont think Enka would even be close if we played 2 decades. Robbinsville wins 14 out of 20.

Personally, I don't think half the teams in the MAC could beat ya'll. Robbinsville may be having a down year this year, but we all go through that from to time. As for Enka......I actually feel bad for them. Every three or four years they come out with new uniforms and a new coach and nothing every changes. Just a really bad program all around.

Asheville vs Q Foundation
Reynolds @ Watauga
Erwin @ Science Hill (TN)
McDowell vs Mitchell
North Buncombe @ West Henderson
Roberson vs Freedom
Enka vs Hayesville

Asheville by 33 (Q not as bad as usual, made a decent account of themselves against E Lincoln)

Reynolds by 28 (the Pioneers fight but just not enough athletes to contain Dowdle or Logan)

Science Hill by 14 (another tough opponent for Erwin, should be closer than last week at least)

Mitchell by 7 (a toss up game on paper, going with the home team in a tight one)

W Henderson by 17 (won't be as close as some here predicted, West has a good team this year)

Freedom by 49 (Emmons runs wild on the perpetual underachieving Rams)

Enka by 18 (Hayesville's two game win streak comes to an end against an improved Jets squad)

I was not taking a shot at Hayesville, but more at Enka. There is no excuse for a school the size of Enka losing to schools that are so small. I suspect Robbinsville could play with or beat some of the bottom teams in the MAC most seasons. They do a lot with a little. I respect that.

I think you mean "beat all the bottom teams in the MAC most seasons."

I swear, the MAC is crazy. The difference in the top 3 and the bottom 4 is huge. I don't mean any disrespect in the statement. It's just fact. When you have 3A schools consistently getting smoked by 1A teams you'd think someone would step up and actually rebuild the program. SMH...........o_O
