SW Edgecombe 4-2 @ North Pitt 3-4

[swe98]

The undefeated on the field (lol) Cougars hit the road to make the short trip to Pitt County to take on the NP Panthers. This is a series that SWE has dominated, although the Cougars did lose a head scratcher to them at home last season. I don't expect such issues this year, although NP is a competent team. But I didn't expect to lose to them last year either. So we'll see. Any thoughts?

Did the game interrupted by gunfire count in the overall record?

Yes. Few minutes left in the 3rd while we were in scoring position . So SWE has a forfeit that they won and an incomplete game as losses on their record.

You are misremembering. Tarboro had the ball at the 48 yard line when the shots happened lol but okay. You can go to the 1 hour 52 minute mark on this video to confirm

Halftime.
SWE 0 13 = 13
NP 12 8 = 20

 

[swe98]

All NP in the first quarter. Mostly SWE in the second, aside from a kick return. Our O line has spent most of the night getting shredded, but have also had their moments. I thought it was their homecoming, but it's not. NP just came out on fire, plain and simple. We've shown the ability to come from behind to win, and we do get the ball to start the half, but this might be that weird loss we always have every year.
