Is there standing audience during this game?

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

Is there standing audience during this game?

Nah, not anymore. I'd say 2014 was the last year for standing room only.

 

[Mhsneer]

Mountain heritage is 5k plus folks some years

 

[Mhsneer]

Watauga will be an interesting game. Wish we’d played them last 8 years

I can tell you for sure you guys will miss Carter Hoyle, Ethan Willis, Xander Gardner, Conner Buchanon for sure these guys bled purple and led us to Chapel Hill played both ways gave it their all, I dont know if I can attend games this year or not I may have to take a year off, I hope whoever wears that 22 understands how special it is and the former mountaineers it represents

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Who was it that said they wouldn't be on here after their kid graduated

 

[BlueVols]

I'd like to see some photos of the stadium field work when someone can .

I been wondering how you and your family was doing Purple? How is your son doing? Adjusting to life after football? Good luck to your Mountaineers this season!

Mitchell field is done. I still can't figure out how to upload a picture of it. Go to Mitchell Mountaineers on Facebook if you like to see it. It looks awesome

I'm in the same boat haha. Was out there yesterday, can't upload the pics. It turned out amazing. I believe Heritage's will be done in a couple weeks.

FWIW, I can never upload pictures either.

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Carolina Preps was so easy to upload and change Avatars.

 

[Vik-Val 86]

I went on the Facebook page. The field looks very nice.

 

[radioguy16]

I saw it on FB also. Its awesome! Looks really good!

[RealStihl]

Wow!! That is going to be one beautiful facility this season when the young men come out of the woods for the first time!! Congratulations on this!!!

 

[Smokymntfan]

The stadium looks great. Hope to make the trip out there when Andrews roles into town in a couple months.

 

[RudeBoyyyz]

How many players does Mitchell return?

 

[Mitchell county mountie]

How many players does Mitchell return?

All but 2-3 from last year.

 

[Vik-Val 86]

I wouldn’t mind making a trip up to see a game and see the field. Have to put this on one of my bucket list games.

 

[RudeBoyyyz]

All but 2-3 from last year.

Oh ok. Y’all returning more than Tarboro. We lost about 7 ppl. All seniors but really about 5 b/c Jordan & Jerome was hurt all season. Best of luck to you guys on your season

 

[Smokymntfan]

All but 2-3 from last year.

Wow that's pretty impressive. I was thinking your best players last year was seniors except your QB. Y'all should definitely be the front runners this year. Good luck on your season it should be fun to watch!

The two linebackers will be tough to replace

 

[Smokymntfan]

The two linebackers will be tough to replace

If it's the two I'm thinking of they where some good athletes! Are y'all returning all your O-line. They really impressed me last year against Robbinsville. I thought their line was the best in the SMC and y'all handles them pretty well.

 

[Mountaineermania]

Lost one key lineman who was a beast on both sides of the ball.

We return defensive player of the year at linebacker but lost the other two. Our line will miss one key player but I feel good about them overall baring no injuries. I think we will be pretty tough. Having another runner in backfield will be huge

 

[raider1959]

Mitchell County guys, that's a good looking field. I follow the Mountaineers, my dad was from.Mitchell Co.

 

[fitguync30]

Did Mitchell put down a turf field? If so, that is a real shame. It makes me want to hurl every time I see one of those. Football is meant to be played on real grass and not that fake crap. Natural grass is the only way to go.

I agree wholeheartedly, but with the state giving the grants to put turf down it didn’t give anyone else with grass much choice.

We’ve got a real good group of seniors this year!

 

[BlueVols]

Turf saves time on field maintenance and allows for much more use. Back in the 70's when I was in junior high, Tuscola would make us move games across the street to the Death Valley field if it was raining/wet. Even then the CEW Stadium field usually looked like crap by the end of October. Now with up to a dozen different teams using the stadium in a school year, there is no way a grass field would survive in the mountains. With the heat and better growing season down east, I'd much rather have grass there.

 

[BlueVols]

Playing on Turf is also a leg injury waiting to happen. Just look at the data. Alot of pro soccer teams refuse to play on it.

Pro teams have the financial resources to finance top of the line natural surfaces and maintain them.

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Grass is great in the mountains.

 

[The Deerhunter]

Grass is great in the mountains.

Agreed, but when you have multiple youth league games, middle school games, JV games and then boys and girls soccer, natural grass just wears down.
