It’s not much to say about this game. I thought NE would be better than what they showed against SWE in a blowout lost & after Tarboro defeat at the hands of Hertford County I’m expecting to be different this week!
FYI….The game will be played Thursday. Not Friday!

Looking at the roster on Maxpreps - they must’ve called up 7 or 8 guys from JV. Last time I looked there were only 29 guys on the roster and now there’s 37.

You know last year we played the season with low numbers . That group of kids were just tough and hard hitters

i just saw J’Mari Wade(#20 from last season that tore his ACL) is back on the team & has been cleared also. He’ll be suited up tomorrow also

quick thoughts on tonights game.

First of all, we haven't come close to matching the intensity that we had against Rocky Mount, nor have have we looked as good as we did against them.

I feel we did the exact same thing that we did last week. At times, we just appeared to be going through the motions. No fire, no intensity. This could have been because it was a Thursday night game, or because it's North, and well, it's hard to get up for north. Either way, we've got to start playing with a little more fire.

This team certainly has plenty of talent, and I believe more talent than we had last year, but we can't sleep walk through the season, or someone's going to hurt our feelings. I fully expect to get better in this area.

Next, I believe once we get some guys back from injuries, that will help some on D, but the D has looked shaky at times.

Again, these are young kids, and they came out and dominated the team that beat them last year. It may be times this year where they do struggle to get up, but I believe the coaches will get that corrected.

Last, the young RBs are elite. Mason was sensational tonight, they had no answer for him. He's a 10 yards a carry machine. The freshman, wow, that's about all I can say. That last run was something of beauty. Those two backs are going to be tough for Defenses to stop for years to come.

If they don’t have fire and intensity for the upcoming game then they may never have it. Lol

I feel they can get up, because they got up for Rocky Mount.
I expect them to be fired up at home next week

Do you Tarboro fans think that Tarboro team has gotten too much in the comfort zone. They know what to expect when playing North Edgecombe or Conference 1A games. To what has been mention the Riverside game could be interesting. And they could meet again in the playoffs.

The last two games, they haven’t come close to matching the intensity they had for the first game. With that being said, they’re young, and it’s hard to get up when playing certain teams. I do feel this is coming that will improve as the season goes on
