Setting up for Murphy at Robbinsville rematch in semis/actual finals
ES vs MA rematch round 2
Go Mountaineers
ES vs MA rematch round 2
Go Mountaineers
Mitchell won the drawing with Polk but came on the short end of the stick on the 1 seed drawing. But that's life.
Murphy/Jefferson winner goes to regional final, IMO. Other half of the 1A west bracket is more interesting.

There’s gonna be some slobber knockers over the next few weeks!
Again, not trying to blow smoke and may make my Mountaineer brethren mad, but just don’t think Mitchell has the offense to move the ball on Robbinsville. I hope am wrong but just don’t see it. I do think Mitchell will play hard regardless of the outcome.
Go Mountaineers
I think they're doing them over Zoom this year.
How about Princeton vs. Holmes in the first round? Wow
Both unbeaten - might be a lot of points in that one!

And then potentially Tarboro in the second round. That's the real eastern regional final
Got screwed in numerous other sports over the last few years, girls basketball exhibit A. The athletic program deserved some good fortune.
I hate the NCHSAA. If it can be screwed up, they will do it
I kinda like the small number of teams in the playoffs. It’s gonna make for some very good games. everyone doesn’t need to make the playoffs
To bad they couldn't have used the Maxpreps rankings just one more time lol
I think this game is a hell of a matchup. I plan on that we are playing and I don’t get to see it but I would definitely like to watch this game.
Well there’s a first for everything ole Gentle
Yes,How does a team get #1 seed in the East with 2 wins. Cause they are only 1A in their conf. Playoffs are really watered down. Sad
The most surprising stat I have ever seen is Mitchell is ranked near last in their conference in scoring, yet they are 6-0 and won the conference
That's where the #1 SOS comes into play. They scored 35, 41, and 47 in their 3 conference games, 14, 26, and 14 in non conference games. Also allowed 7, 14, 14, 14, 0, and 21 is those games. Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
Well the 14 points against a good Statesville team and 14 points in the terribly played game they had at Forest Hills probably contributed to that. Thing is if they're having the kinda game they'd like to play it's ball control and eat the clock then play good D which if you can pull that off will lead to low scoring games.
Then why bring it up? You sound like you're trying to convince yourself Robbinsville would cakewalk past Mitchell. I assure you, they ain't Hayesville or Rosman. Hooper wont be resting the 2nd half. Mitchell played tougher competition, scored less points because of it. They will score in bunches when they can.
Imo these playoff games will be VERY interesting!! I can’t wait!!!
Gosh you guys are jumpy..just said it was an interesting stat..Id say no other conference in the state didn't work out that way. Settle down
BTW if anyone needs to convince themselves, it's Mitchell..SMC is waiting
Well Mitchell got the unlucky draw of getting #3 out of the three 1 seeds but at least they get one game at home poor Polk not only lost the drawing last night against Mitchell but went from a possible 1 seed to drawing last in the wildcards getting #8 seed and having to travel 127 miles.
No joking, Simmons is showing a 80 pt spread between Mitchell and Christ..
Catholic school out of Huntersville(charlotte area) yall should have a running clock on them for sure. Yall will probably win by 80 if you want.
