yeah was true with the old JV format but now all sophomores play varsity and while I've seen a special few freshman play varsity there's none this year but that may not be allowed anymore I don't know the rules the new format. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a school Mitchell's size to have a dip for a while if it happens I've been amazed how they've seemed just reload the last several years with the population size.
Avery transfer looks pretty dang good so far running and kicking
He's a hoss. Gage ran the ball good too. Chad had 103 yards rushing and Gage had 127.
well I was joking about the multiple positions he played then how good he ran the ball. kicked, punted (even made the tackle on the punt), RB ,LB , and kick return. But your right the whole backfield looked good looks like lost Duncan for a couple weeks at least through and Phillips hurt and sounded more serious.
Good, well not good they got hurt but glad it's not anything like season ending.
While he may have folded under pressure sometimes you definitely can give the QB any time he is very accurate threw a beautiful pass in the end zone to a well covered receiver, like you say if his line can improve with those quick receivers he could lite some teams up.
Elizabethton had beat them 4 times in a row. The kid that did the hit had a older brother that played at Elizabethton.
I just hate this LeBron James Era we live in. Instead of putting in the work and helping changing the culture, just jump ship. The WHC has 2 teams that are no different from Winston Salem Prep or Mountain Island Charter. They are benefiting from transfers and recruitments. They know who they are. This is not hs football anymore. It's not I want to be the best, by beating the best. It has changed to I want to be the best, by getting the best players on one side and beat those who are left. It's sad really.
Well Mitchell gave Avery a 3 year starting QB so fair is fair
I have heard that Averys new coach is a good one and is trying to right the ship. As far as college goes, don't see him going for an athletic scholarship (no matter where he plays) and let's not kid ourselves. Mitchell isn't turning out D1 athletes left and right. The kid just seen an easier road. Instead of putting the work in with a new staff he used the LeBron transfer portal. I just hate it for schools like Madison and Avery because they will lose their athletes to the 2 magnet schools of the WHC and that isn't a receipt to rebuild any hs program. Hs football shouldn't be about recruitment, bud sadly that's what it has become.Well Mitchell gave Avery a 3 year starting QB so fair is fair
But jump ship? That's implying that Avery had a chance to go to the playoffs or something this year if he had just stayed.
I don't know the backstory of his transfer but I believe he has potential of playing at least small college especially with his kicking so it would be my guess that maybe he was thinking that he might get more notice and offers at more football minded school like Mitchell.
Well I don't believe Mitchell recruited him they had 3 of the 4 RB's coming back from last year. And I don't know for sure but I was told that was his reasoning but maybe someone else on here has some inside information on that but I didn't mention D1 I stated small college. Mitchell in recent years had a kicker get a scholarship at App state and he looks so far to have just a strong of a leg we'll see how the season goes but not everyone is looking for a D1 school anyway just one where they might get some scholarship money and an education like the 3 Mitchell QB's before Ben Young all went to Mars Hill.
Hopefully he'll get the public support and enthusiasm he'll need.
Well, I for one Mitchell fan will agree with you about transfers.
