Mitchell at Starmount

[Deana_King]

Early thoughts on this game. The Rams are playing well at the right time of the year.

Offense has been really productive and the defense has just been great.

I expect a good tough physical football game.

Mitchell folks have a safe trip from the mountains next Friday.

Really think Mitchell can win , Mitchell has played tougher schedule

I will be the first to say. I was dead wrong about this Mitchell team. After the first couple games I just didn’t see a path to the second round of playoffs. Have to give the coaches/players credit for the turn around.

Having said all that, Mitchell got a good draw in the playoffs with teams they matched up with well.

While I think Mitchell will bring their best not sure it will be enough against the Rams. Prove me wrong again Mountaineers.

Go Mountaineers

I think i posted the other day that it always seems like Mitchell is playing their best ball this time of year. You can say the same for Starmount too. Two great programs. Good luck to both teams.

The Rams and Mountaineers have met once prior to this upcoming game.

In 2013, Starmount beat Mitchell 42-7 in the first round of the 1AA state playoffs.

 

[Mountaineermania]

That was a 1 and 10 Mitchell team when everyone made the playoffs. This Mitchell team has overachieved thus far a year early maybe. Just excited for them to be on this journey.

 

[Deana_King]

I certainly wasn’t being negative towards Mitchell at all. I always post the historical records of anyone who facing the Rams.

I even said on HSOT last night that we beat them that year before they began those several years of deep playoff runs.

I got Mitchell by 6

 

[KW2346]

Starmount wins by 21 imo

 

[Ball704336]

I agree with KW, Starmount by at least 21. They're a different team than earlier in the year

Does Mitchell travel well? I think it’s about a couple hours drive to Ram Country.

MIT has awesome fan support

I figure it should be a packed house with East Wilkes and Mt Airy players and fans probably coming. Hopefully the weather is good.

 

[Deana_King]

Only game around from Boone to Greensboro to Hickory

 

[KW2346]

Watauga hosting sun valley and hibriten hosting maiden isn't too far away...I think those two games will be better than this one

Looking forward to this matchup between the Rams and Mountaineers. I have very good memories during my youth of spending summers near Spruce Pine in Mitchell County for an annual music festival named for Mac Wiseman. We camped every year, and the music was akin to an earlier version of MerleFest; anybody popular at the time playing bluegrass and toe tapping music was there, from Flat & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, The Lewis Family, the Osborne Brothers to Tommy Faile, Lula Belle & Scottie, and Ricky Scaggs. It was always fun, up in the mountains. Don’t think the venue is there anymore, but I remember it backed up along the Toe River off US19.

I know the good people in that area have had it rough since last September. Wishing safe travels for the fans and players from Spruce Pine, Ledger, Bakersville and Penland in Mitchell County to Yadkin on Friday!

Does Starmount have NFHS?

 

[Deana_King]

No

Safe travels for Mitchell fans traveling to the Ram House Friday.

Let’s go Mitchell!!

Mounties 27 Rams 24

Having not seen Starmount predictions are tough at best. So I will say the higher seeded….naw go shock the 2a world ‘Neers

Mitchell by 2. (Be advised that is a heart pick) head says home team comfortably. But what fun would that be.

 

[SportsGuy25]

Should be a tough hard fought game. If the Rams can keep the running game going I like them to pull away by two scores.
Rams by 14
Murphy by a lot!

 

[bengal4life]

Mitchell 28-21

Good luck Mitchell

Good luck Mitchell

Go Knights!!

Congratulations to the Rams on the win! Best wishes for the Mitchell players, especially the Seniors.

 

[80prepster]

Mitchell had a lean and quick bunch! I thought the Rams were in trouble from the gun when that QB sprinted straight up the middle and to the end zone to make it 7-0 on the third play of the game! But thereafter, I didn’t expect the Rams to come storming back to make it a runaway.

The Mitchell folks travel well, and come prepared. A great program!

Congratulations to Starmount Rams and good luck next Friday for the regional final!

 

[wncbowhunter]

Congratulations to the Rams. Hmmm, so that’s what it feels like to be absolutely thrashed. Great game you all had. Good luck next week, should be a great ball game.

Now just want to say Congratulations and Thank you to the Mitchell Seniors. Many hours of your young lives were spent to represent Mitchell High and Mitchell County for that I thank you. Thanks to the coaches for the time and effort that goes into this crazy game. Good luck in whatever field you choose going forward.

GO Mountaineers
