Swain put up a great fight against Robbinsville, and Andrews continues to be dominant with a 50-7 win over Hayesville. Thoughts on this matchup?

Don’t come on here blaming refs, swain had chances to win the game and just couldn’t execute. Refs are bad, always have been always will be.
I can blame anyone after that game last night. And you can shut up too if you don't like whatever I post. Or better yet just don't retort back.
Now listen here young’en, I know you’re cry baby type all too well. You don’t wanna snap back at me, momma will bend you over her knee.
Well I might be into that stuff, but a youngin I ain't.
If you haven’t figured out by now that the SMC officials are terrible in every game, you never will. It’s a disgrace nearly every game you go and watch. Very rarely do refs determine the outcome of the game. There is too much unknown that could happen, even after a bad call. As players, the best thing they can do is try to adapt the best they can to figure out what works. If refs are calling bogus hold calls, try to adapt the best you can. It’s like baseball. If an umpire isn’t giving you the call on a curveball, gotta learn how to change how he sees it. It’s pitiful that this is even a conversation but unfortunately, it’s where we are at with officiating. That’s being said, Swain didn’t execute in critical times in the game and Robbinsville did. That’s the difference. Penalties or no penalties.
Should be an epic game. If weaver plays I give the cats the edge. If he is limited it will be a dogfight but I still think Andrews has enough to pull out the win!
Sound words, but to both teams getting screwed over....well it was still a great game, but I wonder what might have happen on the blown punt call. Both teams had about the same in total yards and plays. Just pissed off, and I am at that age wear I don't care as much for BS. heck they weren't that great when I played way back in 77' & 78'.
If Swain can weather the storm early and stay calm when things don't go right it could be a good game. The offense looked better but scoring on a 4th and 15 aint exactly sustainable, need to stop giving up free yds on both sides of the ball.
It’s just the default anymore. Unfortunately. Just gotta tough out out. As for this game, Andrews just kinda toyed with Hayesville for the first half. Second half they found another gear. It’ll be a good game but Andrews pulls away in 2nd half. 28-14
Swain's defense is good, gotta get off the field on 3rd down, the offense worries me. Does not seem like we can sustain drives, scoring on a 4th and 13 is not ideal, and then the run where #3 broke free was the majority of their offense. 6 games into the year same of the new kinks should be getting worked out and it only seems to be getting worse. I am no football expert but some of their play calls are predictable.
Robbinsville with 10 penalties last night.
Swain with 6
Swain D will keep them in this game early but if the offense doesn't sustained drives it could get ugly. The play calling is very questionable at time and the adjustment needs to happen on the oline. I would play kids both ways as some kids isn't getting the job done on the oline. This games is winnable if swain can muster up some offense as their D keep the best back in conference in check all night and Robbinsville was able to throw on their 3rd and long or 4th long to keep the drive alive.
Andrews 37
Swain 16
Weaver once again looked unstoppable against hayesville even with a broken hand. Swain has a good defense but it’s hard to stop weaver and Martin, and even agulair. I say it will be close in the first half but Andrews takes the second half easily.
Not saying much but if let's see our the wheels come off like last yr for Swain after that game with the knight. If they don't I don't see many teams putting more than 3. Scores on the Devil D. Now, if we could just punch the ball over.for some TDs I'd be happier.
Swain has the defense to keep it close in big games, they don’t have the offense to win them.

I’ll broadcast for you guys, Andrews is good, swain is not and continues to run the same struggling offense no matter what.
