This will be a good one! Tarboro dominated SHHS in what was a pretty sloppy game. It was a shutout but the offense wasn’t clicking like normal! East Bladen comes in off a pretty impressive win against Rosewood(Was kind of hoping Tarboro would be able to get some get back against them). Tarboro will be prepared & ready to go! Of course I have Tarboro for the W by 14 points!

Rematch of the 2009 and 2010 2A Eastern Finals
I was wanting that rematch with rosewood. Oh well can wait another year. As for this game the key will be to stop #23 for east bladen. He accounts for 31 rushing touchdowns and 1718 yards on the year.
They seem to be big on the lines. As I said in an earlier post, we may have to see some different looks on offense going forward to keep defenses honest. I thought we had a ton of success running out of the shotgun at times this year. We may see some more of that going forward
We won both, but I prefer the 2010 result over the 2009 result.
Hopefully it's better officiating than the 09 game lol
We really didn’t look good at times last night. This late in the game anything can happen, no room for sleep walking going forward
I hope the fans don’t look at East bladen’s record and think this is a game they don’t need to show up for. We need to pack Viking stadium, and cheer our boys on, get loud and get behind them.
I’m also thankful for Coach Craddock and his ability to keep the guys humble and grounded. I believe that even though the eagles have a few loses, they’ll be treated as if they’re the best team we’ve played this year.

I thought we looked very good at times. SE didn't get off the bus looking defeated already like most teams do that play us. They had a plan to crowd the line, create some chaos and get us off our game. Five false starts in the first half proves they accomplished that. The Trojans were determined to limit us to run gains of 10 yards or less. For the most part, that was accomplished as Tarboro had a lot of good runs but no home runs.
This team pushed the Vikings as hard as anyone has this year. It took a toll on both teams as you could see from all the cramping on both sides. The fumbles were uncharacteristic, but one was a big hit and the other was the backup QB center exchange while Lewis was on the sideline with cramps. That unsportsmanlike penalty...it just can't happen in that spot, but they knuckled down and got the stop.
Everything here says this team was truly tested last night. They passed the test, but they showed signs of weakness at key moments. I said it earlier in the other thread, but I'm glad these things were exposed in a game that we were able to win. Corrections will be made. Coaches will coach. We will be back in the house the day after Thanksgiving with plenty to be thankful for.
East Bladen is a on and off team. Verry good or average. They have a stud at running back in Brooks #23. If they are on it could be a good game. The Vikings are the Vikings and are pretty much unbeatable at home. Good luck to both teams with no injuries.
He also plays defense. I’ll be coaching him in the Shrine Bowl, D Lineman…
That would be nice, it will be a great game between two run dominant teams
I watched the first half of the East Bladen @ Whiteville from this year on YouTube this morning.
Whiteville was able to run the Ball pretty good on them.

Goatman. I was at WC vs EB game. East could not do anything offensively vs West Columbus. Penalty after penalty against EB. Turn overs too. Asst. coach ejected and player. Might of had a bad night but they can't throw the ball believe me!! Tarboro by 30 pts.

Skip to 39:39 to hear the predictions on this game..
16 years in a row practicing on Thanksgiving & playing on Friday night!
That is a great program. Most teams just dream of practicing on Thanksgiving
Look at this post on Facebook
I wonder if that guy is trolling or actually being serious. He also had Rocky Mount beating us earlier this year
Lol yep. Don’t get me wrong they have a STUD at RB! He’s coming ready to play but we have 3 studs at RB also!
I’m looking for the Vikings to kick it up another notch starting this week
This is for @TarVikes
Game day boys!
Get cracking!
I know East Bladen is ready!
That’s about as close to talking smack as I can get. How’d I do?

You need to pay more attention to the woods. They are going to slip by us while we are reading and posting!
