why would I? tarboro has been beaten at the state championship 3 times since 2008, because they were simply outplayed and made critical mistakes, mostly the mistakes in 2012. If you simply outplay us and beat us, congratulations to the players.
Just asking you like you ask all these people saying Bears will win. You one said it first.

My question is, when Tarboro goes in and wins Saturday, all of you saying Mt Airy will win this year, what will be your excuse? I wanna start hearing the excuses now.
Just saying pretty much what said.

If MA gets it done, past championship game stats indicate it will have to be through the air. Of the last 5-6 appearances by Tarboro, the most net ground yards given up is 169. Usually it’s less than 50 and one year it was 0. Tarboro will run for 350-450 based on these same stats.

Tarboro may have more size on the line but Mt airy has faced that last couple of weeks. Execution and least mistakes usually determines outcome with two good teams. Does Tarboro have good punter and kicker?

East Surry had 516 total yards which were 484 yds receiving against Tarboro's 345 total yards in their 2019 56 to 28 blowout of Tarboro.

What does that have to do with this year?
CatScratchFever23 was talking like no one could put many yards on Tarboro. Just reminding him how badly East Surry beat Tarboro even though it was through the air. I hope it can be done on the ground and Taroboro has a bad year for a change. Who has beaten y'all as badly ?

Probably the last thing I’ll say about this game before I let everyone else have all of the fun.

I’m a Duke basketball fan and my favorite Duke player is Quinn Cook. In 2015 Wisconsin was favored to beat Duke in the ACC/Big10 challenge. After Duke won by double digits, Quinn told the guys in the locker room “Duke is never the underdog” . With all of the computer point spreads I’ve seen, that’s what popped in my head about this game.

Mount Airy may very well beat Tarboro on Saturday, in fact I think they have a good shot of doing so. But regardless of what happens, this is Tarboro Football - we ain’t no underdog.

Newton conover 2008 51-28. They had a really good running back. We were down 44-7 at one point. Also 2019 East Surry would have imo torched every 2a defense in the east that year as well. They truly were a once in a lifetime passing attack that is rarely seen at the 1a level. But they could not run the ball on us that night all their damage they did came through the air.

When Tarboro vs MT Airy in 2017. MT Airy fans didn't seem have that good of a turn out. I was assuming the entire town would be there. I guess maybe it was cold and snowing that day. Most of the MT Airy fans just stayed at home and watch it on tv.

Guys, I wasn’t trying to insult the MA team or fans, I was just making an observation. I didn't say MA couldn’t put up yards against Tarboro, just stated it would more than likey not be on the ground. The players come and go at Tarboro but Craddock remains the same. I am not a Tarboro homer (although I am impressed with their success) I just did a little research.

Well apparently it’s time for the posters from the west to turn their attention to the folks who support the team with multiple uniform combinations. You know the one. The team whose threads are started by them all year with occasionally up to three pages of “hope we keep improving” or “not sure what players are out this week”. Y’all know the guys who never bother anyone and stay in their lane (except for TarVikes who likes to lob a small grenade every now and then).
My point to this post, and yes I know I’m supposed to be in gym already, is these guys never say a bad word about anybody. Only time they bow up is when someone attacks their teenagers or misremembers how a game played out. They are as humble as any multi champion could be. Now this week, I’m sure there will be a few bandwagon posters who might go a little overboard but every successful team has those. They crop up like Whack a Mole then go away until the next successful run.
Good luck to the second best behaved fan base on here. 😜

MA wore that Newton team out in scrimmage at Newton Conover that year and Newton won 2A that season. In live game situation it was like 28-0. Michael Dobson had 80 yard TD run 1 st play from scrimmage. I think this MA team is close to that team.

If my basketball team went from #1 to Unranked in less than two weeks I would live in the past like that too 😂

Apparently that school had lower entrance standards way back in 81…🤷‍♂️

Not at all. Both kids was on reduced lunch for a good while. I think you already knew the answer. Your trying to muddy the water. You might not get it though. Like percentages!

I have not problem with free lunch. It's a good thing. I do have a problem with free lunch being used to determine your class in sports.
Mostly in football.

Well like I've mentioned before I believe as a whole the West is stronger than the East in 1A but it's just that all the East needs is Tarboro and apparent that they are consistently the best in the state.
But while there's no way to prove it it's just an opinion which means nothing but I believe if you had an unrealistic playoff system because of distance where there was no East and West ( with the current 1A schools ) just everyone playing each other from round one not that some west teams wouldn't lose to some east teams but in the end that in the championship game you'd still have Tarboro vs a team from the West. And I may go as far as this year it would probably still be the same two teams next week playing unless they would have met before the championship of course.
I remember when two east team represented the 1a state championship game!! Remember, when North Duplin beat all the west teams in the west bracket and played Plymouth in the 1a state championship???

The offense that Mt Airy runs was ran by Edenton when Tarboro faced them in the eastern finals 2 years in a row. In 2 games they scored a total of 7 points. Tarboros defense will be ready, I’m looking forward to Saturday.
You didn't have to mention the 7 points.....lol.... I thought it was more though..lol
