Robbinsville Comes Up Short In Nail Biter
Sports, Team FYN Sports, TeamFYNSports August 29, 2021
Written by Reece Adams
The Robbinsville Black Knights took on the Brevard Blue Devils Friday night, in a game that came down to the wire. Robbinsville, who had firmly beat the Asheville Cougars 45-23 the previous week, was confident in their ability to continue their success against the Devils.
Opting to receive, the Knights drove the ball down the field on the back of Cutler Adams and quickly got into one of their six RedZone trips of the night. The Devils, however, held the line as their back was against the wall; a trend that would continue the rest of the night. After a missed Field Goal, The Robbinsville defense smothered Brevard forcing two consecutive punts.
Robbinsville would take these possessions to the RedZone, but would fail to capitalize as they fumbled and then bobbled the snap of the second Field Goal attempt of the night. After forcing a fumble from the Blue Devils, Robbinsville finally got on the board with a 37-yard field goal from Cody Cline late in the Second. This seemed to spur some urgency in the Devils as Anson Burgess returned fire with a touchdown pass from the Devils own 40-yard line. Robbinsville made their way down the field, but a Brevard interception ended the drive leaving the first half at 7-3.
Brevard started with the ball to begin the second half, but was swiftly forced to punt. Robbinsville again marched down the field and got within striking distance, but after failing to get a first down the Knights elected to kick again. This attempt was blocked leaving the game still locked at 7-3 in favor of Brevard at the end of the Third.
As the fast paced Fourth quarter began, Brevard began to make headway down the field. The Devils began to air the ball out more than in previous quarters, but this resulted in an interception by Robbinsville’s Brock Adams at midfield.
Both teams punted on their respective drives, then Robbinsville finally broke the plane on a short rush from Cutler Adams bringing the game to 9-7. Brevard responded with a mix of passing and rushing to get into Field Goal range. After a successful kick the score landed at 10-9 deep into the 4th. After a wild fourth down conversion, Robbinsville’s Cutler Adams rushed for his second touchdown of the night putting the Knights up 15-10.
With less than three minutes left, Brevard once again went to their air attack then completed a successful hitch and pitch to get into the Knights 20-yard line. They capped the game off with a short touchdown pass from Anson Burgess, leaving the game at 16-15 as time expired.
Robbinsville will travel to face a tough Mountain Heritage team Friday, looking to bounce back from a tough loss.
2021 Preseason All Smoky Mountain Conference Team & Awards
TeamFYNSports August 14, 2021
We’re back for the second installment of the FYN Sports Preseason All Smoky Mountain Conference football awards. Our staff writers and other sports writers in the community came together and helped us narrow down our choices for this year’s preseason All-Conference teams. These picks are backed by last year’s stats and are our predictions of who to watch for this year.
PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Kellen Rumfelt, Senior QB, Murphy
Rumfelt was the best passer in the SMC last year. He led the league in passing TDs and passing yards. He also led his team to a State Championship W. Easy choice here for FYN Sports Preseason POY.
PRESEASON OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Donald Bradley, Senior QB, Cherokee
Bradley won a couple games for Cherokee single-handedly last year. He can make things happen with his arm, and with his legs. He’s perhaps the most exciting QB to watch in the conference. It will be interesting to see what he can do with the weapons he has coming back this year.
PRESEASON DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Drew Martin, Junior LB, Andrews
Martin average around 10 Tackles per game last year and was the cornerstone of the Wildcats defense. A lot of people are high on Andrews this year and think they may be able to make a push for 3rd position on the conference, and Drew Martin is a big reason why.
PRESEASON ATHLETE OF THE YEAR:
Cuttler Adams, Sophomore RB/LB, Robbinsville
Cuttler Adams is going to be a name to remember. He does it all. He makes an impact in all 3 phases of the game. Special Teams, offense and defense, he’s always flying around trying to make a play. He has a good chance to lead the Black Knights in Tackles and rushing yards this year.

Knights Down Mitchell On Back of Nathan Collins Big Night
TeamFYNSports April 24, 2021
The Robbinsville Black Knights hosted the Mitchell Mountaineers in a second-round playoff game Friday night. It was a back and forth game between two undefeated teams, both hoping to continue towards a possible state championship. While the Mountaineers struck first it was Robbinsville who had the last say. Behind big games from Kage Williams and Nathan Collins, the Knights were able to secure a 28-20 victory. This propels them into a third-round matchup and a rematch with the Murphy Bulldogs.
1st Quarter:
The first quarter saw Robbinsville take the opening kick, get one first down but were then forced to punt. Mitchell capitalized on stopping the Knights’ first drive of the night, scoring on their first drive of the game. A 42-yard run by Kage Williams was the biggest play of the night offensively for either team. This put the Black Knights in Mountaineer territory to end the first quarter.
2nd Quarter:
In the red zone to start the quarter the Black Knights finished off the drive behind a Nathan Collins 7-yard score. On Mitchells second play of their second drive, we saw the first big mistake of the night for either team. Robbinsville’s Dasan Gross took advantage of an underthrown ball intercepting it in Mitchell territory. Kage Williams broke off his second long run of the night a few plays into the drive. This time he took it all the way into the endzone on a 30-yard run to put the Black Knights up 14-7. After punting the ball back and forth Mitchell had the ball back and found themselves inside the Black Knight 10-yard line on a long throw. They finished of the drive with a short run for a touchdown. Rossi Wachacha busted through on the PAT though to block the point after. This allowed Robbinsville to keep their lead going into halftime 14-13.
3rd Quarter:
Mitchell received the opening kickoff but the Black Knight defense forced a quick three and out. Robbinsville got the ball back but a block in the back on their drive negated a first down forcing them to punt away. Mitchell did get on first down on their next drive but some great pass rush pressure on third down resulted in a sack. Once again forcing the Mountaineers to punt the ball back to Robbinsville. Nathan Collins made quick work the next drive busting a 48-yard run on the first play. Then finished it off with a QB sneak for a touchdown two plays later. The Black Knights took a 21-13 lead after a successful PAT and that’s the score we would have to end the 3rd quarter.
4th Quarter:
After forcing a turnover on downs while in their own territory the Black Knights got the ball back near the start of the quarter. Nathan Collins picked up right where he left off, breaking a 78-yard touchdown run the extend the Black Knight lead 28-13. Collins broke five tackles and outran a few more on the long run. Mitchell though would just not go away. As it appeared Robbinsville might cruise to victory the Mountaineers found an answer scoring cutting the lead to 28-20. In fact, after getting the ball back from Robbinsville Mitchell had the ball down one score with a chance to tie it up. The Black Knight defense came up with the clutch stop though. Then the Black Knight offense got several big first downs to bleed the clock and not give Mitchell another chance. Robbinsville was able to finish the game in victory formation winning 28-20.
Robbinsville will now host Murphy in a rematch with the winner going to the state championship game. Check back in this week with Team FYN Sports as we will have some great coverage preparing for the big game.
Black Knights Survive Double OT Thriller
Sports, Team FYN Sports, TeamFYNSports April 18, 2021
The Robbinsville Black Knights hosted the Winston Salem Prep Phoenix on Friday night. The Black Knights are carrying a two-year win streak and almost lost that streak in this game. In two years the Black Knights have not been as close to a loss as they were Friday night. Give credit to the Phoenix, they pushed Robbinsville to the brink and had them on the ropes. There is a reason they call it title town though, Robbinsville showed championship composure. Somehow, someway, the Black Knights escaped with a victory winning 42-40.
1st Quarter:
Robbinsville owned the first quarter in this game, forcing a quick three and out on their defensive series of the night. Once they got the ball for their first offensive series they made quick work of it. Working the ball methodically down the field running it down the throat of Winston Salem all the way in for their first touchdown. The extra point was missed though making the score 6-0 Knights leading. The next series for the Phoenix on offense was another three and out. The Black Knight defense was prepared and playing tough early.
Once again Robbinsville worked down the field for a score taking a two-score lead 12-0. After not finding any success on their first two drives the Phoenix were able to find some space and got down the field quickly getting their first touchdown of the night. After a successful two-point conversion the score was Robbinsville 12 Phoenix 8. That was the score as the first quarter came to a close with the Black Knights having the ball on offense.
2nd Quarter:
After getting dominated in the first quarter, the second quarter was all Winston Salem. The Phoenix offensive going mostly five wide spreading out Robbinsville found all kinds of success. Their passing attack could not be slowed down and their quarterback was buying time running around. Scoring two touchdowns in the quarter and putting Robbinsville in a very unfamiliar position. That is trailing at halftime 20-12.
3rd quarter:
This game was like two prizefighters going at it with each winning a few rounds. Robbinsville won the third quarter in this prizefight though. Coming out of halftime with all run plays all way in for a touchdown score. As well they got the two-point conversion to tie it up 20-20. Then defensively forcing a three and out to get the ball back quickly. Once again Robbinsville quickly worked down the field using a power rushing attack. Scoring again to take the lead back but missing the two-point conversion made the score 26-20. After forcing a turnover on downs Robbinsville got the ball back to close the third quarter.
4th Quarter:
The fourth quarter though saw the Phoenix fight back, scoring to tie it up at 26-26. Then the last few minutes of the fourth quarter were complete pandemonium. On two different series, the Phoenix had the ball inside Robbinsville ten-yard line. Yet could not find a way to finish off either drive. On the first drive, Robbinsville intercepted a tipped ball to get the ball back. They could not get anything going though and had to punt the ball back. Once again the Phoenix worked it all the way inside the Robbinsville ten-yard line. We saw the biggest goalline stand of the season though with Robbinsville finding a way to keep the Phoenix from scoring. Actually two different times we saw a line judge signal touchdown. Yet neither time did it count one being negated by a false start and another had a timeout called right before the play. Then on fourth and goal, the Black Knights pass rush forced a quick throw going off the fingertips of a Phoenix receiver. With the game tied up at 26 all, we went to overtime.
1st Overtime:
The Phoenix made overtime look easy getting the ball first and scoring on their first play. Then converting the two-point conversion to take an eight-point lead. This meant Robbinsville had to score and get a two-point conversion to keep their season alive. They ran on the first three downs but it only resulted in two yards total. Now fourth and goal from the seven Robbinsville had to score to stay in the game. Robbinsville ran a wheel route to Lex Hooper on a bad ankle who gutted it out. Received a perfect pass from Nathan Collins for the touchdown. Then Collins took a quarterback keeper in for the two-point conversion to force double overtime.
2nd Overtime:
In the second overtime, Lex Hooper ran it in on third down for a touchdown followed up by another Collins two-point conversion. This now forced Winston Salem Prep to have to score and get a two-point conversion to tie it up. Once again the Phoenix made it look easy scoring on the first play of their offensive possession. Now they needed to get the two-point conversion to force a third overtime. The Black Knights got a great pass rush forcing an off-balance throw that was out of reach of the Phoenix receiver. The Knights got the stop and the win 42-40.
With the victory, Robbinsville stays alive and will continue in the playoffs hosting Michell next week.
1A State Playoffs Preview: Robbinsville vs W-S Prep
TeamFYNSports April 14, 2021 No Comments on 1A State Playoffs Preview: Robbinsville vs W-S Prep 414
It’s FINALLY playoff time here in North Carolina. The brackets have been set and matchups announced, so let’s do a quick run through of what to expect from the first round matchup between the number 2 seed Robbinsville Black Knights and the number 7 seed Winston-Salem Prep Phoenix.
Winston-Salem Prep
Winston-Salem Prep comes into the playoffs as the number 7 seed. They are 5-2 on the year, with losses to 3rd ranked East Surry and 8th ranked Mount Airy. By far the two best teams that they have played this year, and they didn’t put up much of a fight. Robbinsville is right up there with East Surry and Mount Airy, as they are ranked 5th in the State.
If W-S Prep wants to be the Cinderella story of this year’s playoffs, they are going to have to lean heavy on their air-raid offense.
Being in the SMC- a run first conference- Robbinsville has not seen the kind of passing attack the Phoenix are bringing. Junior W-S Prep QB Tim Davis can make plays both through the air and on the ground. He averages 300 yards passing per game and has eclipsed the 2,000 total yard passing mark already this year. He has also thrown for 21 touchdowns and ran for nearly 500 yards and 5 TDs. Another important note is that even though he has nearly 200 attempts on the year, he’s only thrown 4 interceptions.
#8 Tresean Stewart is Davis’ favorite target. Stewart leads the team in rushing and receiving yards. He’s averaging over 200 all purpose yards per game (90 rushing, 115 receiving) and is a definite threat in the backfield since you don’t know where they are going to line him up.
On the defensive side of things, W-S Prep is going to try to create problems for Black Knight QB Nathan Collins. The Phoenix defense is led by #3 Zaire Patterson. Patterson has nearly 50 tackles on the year, and he is always in the backfield. He’s accumulated 12.5 Tackles for loss already this year.
Robbinsville
Okay, we’ve talked about how W-S Prep is bringing this new air-raid offense and how the Balck Knights may struggle against it, which they might. But we are still talking about the defending state champs here. You don’t complete 2 back to back dominant undefeated regular seasons and then not prepare for a first round opponent. Don’t expect Robbinsville to be shocked when W-S Prep starts throwing the ball around. I know the Black Knights coaching staff has studied and prepped all week for this one, and they’ve got some things in place to try to shut down the passing game.
In my opinion, all Robbinsville needs to do to win is play their game. Get your QB Nathan Collins and RB Lex Hooper going on the ground early and punish the Phoenix defense by simply holding on to the ball. Robbinsville needs to implement the same game plan they had against Murphy in the SMC Champiomship game last week. Hold on to the football and limit the opposing offenses big plays and you’ll win this game easily. I’m not saying it’s going to be a cakewalk here for Robbinsville. W-S Prep could very well come out and shock the Knights. But as long as Robbinsville plays their game and stays with the same mountain football mentality they’ve had for the past decade, then I expect the Knights to roll here.
Black Knights Win Back To Back Conference Titles

The Murphy Bulldogs and Robbinsville Black Knights faced off in the conference championship game Friday night. Both teams came into the game undefeated looking to secure the top playoff seed in the smoky mountain conference. Yet on this night the Black Knights were the team with better ball security leading to them a 17-7 win.
1st Quarter:
The Black Knights won the opening kickoff electing to receive to start the game. It was a good choice as they marched down the field for a great first drive taking an early 7-0 lead. Murphy got the ball on their first drive but quickly went three and out. Robbinsville got the ball back and were driving down the field to end the first quarter. It needs to be mentioned that Murphy only ran three offensives plays in the entire first quarter.
2nd Quarter:
Robbinsville continued their second drive of the game to open the second quarter all the way inside the redzone. The Murphy defense held strong though forcing a field goal attempt, that was missed by Robbinsville. Murphy did get a first down on their second drive but that was about it as the Bulldogs had to punt it away. Murphy almost forced a three and out but on 3rd & 20 Nathan Collins found his tight end wide open for a 40 yard gain on what appeared to be a busted coverage by Murphys defense. Robbinsville was able to capitalize on the mistake finishing off the drive with a touchdown to take their lead 14-0. Murphy on their next drive got all the way inside the Robbinsville 10-yard line but fumbled it away to Robbinsville. The defense did step up though forcing a three and out though. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs there punt returner fumbled the ball giving it right back to Robbinsville. Thats how the game went to half with a Robbinsville 14-0 lead.
3rd Quarter:
Murphy received the second half kick and had their best play of the game offensively with a Ray Rathburn run all the way into Robbinsville territory. Kellen Rumfelt led the way picking up several big third and fourth downs pickups on the drive. Finishing it off with a huge touchdown pass, on 3rd & 20 Rumfelt throwing a perfect ball to Cole Laney for the touchdown. This is how the third quarter ended, the Bulldogs trailing 14-7.
4th Quarter:
The next scoring action came with a Robbinsville field goal. This made the score 17-7 giving Robbinsville a crucial 17-7 lead. On the ensuing kickoff Murphy muffed the kick giving it right back to Robbinsville, the third Bulldog turnover of the night. The Bulldogs played right with the Black Knights but losing the turnover margin 3-0 proved to be too much for Murphy to overcome. The game finished with Robbinsville forcing Murphy to pass but the Black Knight pass rush was too much to give the Bulldogs any chance. The game finished 17-7, Robbinsville handing Murphy their first loss of the season.
Robbinsville and Murphy set to square off in SMC championship yet again
TeamFYNSports April 9, 2021
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before- The Robbinsville Black Knights and the Murphy Bulldogs are set to play in the Smoky Mountain Conference Championship game this Friday.
These two teams seem to always find each other in the final game of the year, no matter the sport, as of late.
Earlier this year we saw the Lady Bulldogs and the Lady Knights face off in the SMC championship for basketball, and it looks like in the softball world it could be headed in that direction too.
In football, 7 of the last 8 seasons have ended with the Black Knights or the Bulldogs on top of the SMC. If I am not mistaken, the conference has produced 8 state championships since 2011 (Murphy- 4, Robbinsville- 2, Swain 1, Cherokee- 1).
8 State Titles won since 2011. Not even counting the other times teams from the SMC made it to the big game and lost. You can tell by looking at the numbers how important this game is this week, and how large of an impact it has on playoff implications. Winner will be one of the 7 #1 seeds in the state, loser is a #2 seed.
Murphy-
The Bulldogs come into the game undefeated, riding a HOT offense. They will look to avenge last year’s losses to Robbinsville. In the SMC Championship game last year, Murphy fell 17-14. Then when the two teams matched up in the playoffs, Robbinsville won once again with a score of 24-13.
Murphy is looking to turn the page this year however, as they’ve basically ran through the rest of the conference like a wet paper bag.
Murphy’s high powered offense is something to behold. They are averaging 44.5 points per game this year, and are very good at NOT turning over the football. They have only turned the ball over 3 times this year.
The offense is led on the ground by Senior Running Back Ray Rathburn. Rathburn has picked up over 500 yards on the ground this year, while tacking on 8 rushing touch downs and averaging 8 yards per carry.
The Dogs backfield is kind of baffling. You know that Rathburn is the leader, but you really don’t know who is going to get the football. Sophomores John Ledford and Ty Laney are also lethal weapons on the ground. Ledford has 433 yards and 7 touchdowns thus far, while averaging 12 yards per carry. Ty Laney is really coming on as of late. He has 7 touchdowns in the past 2 games, including 4 touchdowns last week against Cherokee.
Junior Quarterback Kellen Rumfelt has also done a phenomenal job this year behind center. Rumfelt is averaging nearly 100 yards a game through the air, which has allowed him to pick up 581 passing yards and 6 passing TDs this year. He also hasn’t thrown an interception on 57 pass attempts.
The Dogs are also a problem for opposing offenses thanks to their stout defense. The defense is led by Senior Linebacker Landon Jordan. Jordan is leading the team in tackles and is the l motor for the team defensively.
The Bulldog D is holding opponents to only 11.5 points per game. Teams are also only converting 3rd downs at a mere 39 percent. Murphy has forced TWENTY turnovers on the year, and they do a great job converting those turnovers into points. Opposing teams are averaging around 150 yards per game on the ground against the Dogs, but they are having absolutely zero luck through the air. The ball-hawking corner back duo of Juan Allen and Payton McCracken along with the rest of the Murphy Defensive Backs coached by Joseph Watson, have intercepted teams 11 times already this year over 6 games.
Robbinsville-
The Black Knights also head into this SMC championship game on an absolute roll. They are 6-0, and just like the Bulldogs, they have put up 30 or more points in each game. On paper these two teams look pretty much the same. High powered offenses led by an established run game. What sets the Knights apart is their experience, and their absolute monstrous line play.
Lex Hooper leads the Knights’ running game. He has accumulated over 550 yards on the ground thus far, and also leads the SMC with 12 rushing TDs. He also isn’t just a one dimensional back, Head Coach Dee Walsh uses Hooper’s hands out of the backfield and he’s caught both of Senior QB Nate Collins’ passing TDs this year. The share volume of Hoopers workload in and of itself is impressive- he’s already ran the football over 100 times this year.
Speaking on Senior QB Nathan Collins, he’s also a guy that can hurt you in multiple ways. He has proven that he can get it done on the ground- Averaging 8.2 yards per carry and over 50 yards per game- and also through the air- Averaging 86 yards passing per game at a 60% click. Collins also isn’t afraid to get dirty on defense. He’s picked opposing QBs off 3 times this year, and has over 20 Tackles on the year.
Staying with the Black Knights Defense here, they are led by Senior Defensive End Rossi Wachacha. Wachacha was the FYN sports preseason Defensive Player of the Year for a reason, and he has proved it this year. He is an absolute wrecking ball when he’s on the field. When you see 88 walk out on defense, you can bet that he’s going to make the play. He has 2 sacks and 2 picks on the season, and you just never know where he’s going to be lined up defensively.
Another big part of the Black Knights Defense is Sophomore Cuttler Adams. Adams leads the team in Tackles at 31, and has 2 fumble recoveries and 1 INT. On the offensive side of the ball, Adams serves as the change of pace back when Hooper needs a breather. Adams has picked up 273 yards on the ground this year and scored 5 TDs.
The Robbinsville Defensive and Offensive Lines are incredible. Take a look at these biometrics:

That’s an average of about 6’2 250 pounds on a little 1A football team. Absolutely unheard of! Strong, cornfed young men that are going to try to give Murphy 4 star lineman Yousef Mugharbil a run for his money.
This is shaping up to be one of the best conference games we’ve ever seen, and the team here at FYN sports cannot wait. We will be live streaming the game for free for those of you that can’t make it or are unable to get tickets over on FYNTV.com.
