Not much to say. Yall know what it is. One of the fiercest rivalries in the east. The series is heavily lopsided in Tarboro's favor, but who cares? So many people are trying to say Tarboro is down this year. By their standards, maybe. But not being as good as previous years doesn't mean NOT good. We still aren't on their level. It'll take a massive effort for the Cougars to win this one. We have to contain #3, which I doubt we will. But if we force them to pass, it'll be interesting. Tarboro looked lost when they were forced to pass vs Hunt, and we looked on defending the pass vs Hertford County, giving up over 300. I've been leaning towards Tarboro everywhere, even earlier today. But I can't do that under my own post lol. Tarboro has given up 30ppg this year, albeit vs great programs. We aren't those schools, but if we can make it a high scoring game, I will give it to us by 3 with some last minute heroics. Just my heart, not my head. Anyway, we'll see....

15 minutes until kickoff, and under normal circumstances, it would nealy packed already. A lot of people I talked to didn't even know the game is today. Couple that with a 6pm start time and people just getting off work good, the crowd might not be typical. It's incredibly sparse right now.

Why on earth was your game changed to begin with from being Friday?

Rain in the forecast. Would rather get a little bit of this rivalry money instead of none at all.
I don't think Tarboro has played on a Friday yet.

Even though we are behind, I'll say that the star of the game so far has been the swe run defense. They are playing out of their minds! With that being said, I know ol' adjusting Craddock will fix that.
