    Tarboro through Non-conference play

    That Hunt game was difficult to swallow. So many opportunities to put that game away, but...turnovers... Hold onto that ball, Petey!!

    Football 2A RPI Thread

    I think the Tarboro fanbase is very much a reflection of the coaching staff and leadership at Tarboro. The humility starts with Craddock. He's on the record as saying his first couple of years were not good. As a coach, he tried to shape the team into his image and it just wasn't working. He put...

    Tarboro vs Hunt

    But you have to protect the football. Hunt focused hard late in the game on holding the ball carrier up and giving others chances to rip the ball out. That’s stopping the drive by any means necessary. Creating fumbles is an effective strategy for a defense. That’s ultimately what cost us the...

    FINALLY…Tarboro vs. Murphy for the ship…who ya got?

    West>East: WHY?

    I’ve said it in other posts, Trey. It’s money. Go no further than Kinston vs Shelby. Lenoir Co. population is shrinking with an employed population of 22600. Cleveland County is growing and has 44000 employed population. Good coaches are men with families. Would you want your family to live in a...

    It’s extremely hard at the small levels to find passing quarterbacks at all. If you do, you’ve got lightning in a bottle. It’s hard even for the larger schools to develop passers year after year. I find in a bit comical when people criticize Tarboro’s offense. We have found a scheme and player...

    The only receipt I keep is from a personal attack from another Tarboro fan several years ago. Every day I enjoy life and get the most joy out of it, I take great satisfaction knowing there is a nameless, faceless jerk that is hating every moment of it.

    Simmons had Tarboro +11. Anyone that believed this was going to be a cake walk was a fool.

    Much credit to Murphy. That’s a hard nosed bunch of mountain boys! But the Vikings get the shut out and a 10th state title. Elon gets an absolute steal.

    It’s been many years since Shelby and Tarboro hooked up. Wouldn’t that be fun!
