Eanes is a good coach. Pender is going to be a problem in the playoffs most years.

I feel safe in saying here is how the state championship thread is going to go tarboro and Mitchell posters will talk about the game, somebody from the West (you know who) is going to come in and say tArBoRo iS A 2a pLaYiNg 1a, and that will lead to a bunch of arguing and then the game will happen and the thread will be over lolOh lord...
Well at least you won't be talking amongst yourselves for another week...
Congratulations on your high school's win...
Couldn't have happened to a classier bunch of posters...

Thanks for your kindness!Congratulations Tarboro. Looking back my predictions are well not good. But I feel confident in saying the purple team wins next week.
Go Mountaineers
Ah yes I forgot those I wasn't too far off 😂.Close...
After explaining how Mitchell is 2A as well he will say you both should have won because of numbers and overabundance of places to eat near both high schools...
Also should be at least one reference of "Who cares?"
Again congratulations.
Should be an interesting matchup.
There are a lot more restaurants in Tarboro than there is Bakersville and Spruce Pine combined!!Close...

I personally would rather be at Carter Finley because parking is way better and also I've always thought Carter Finley is a good location for a state football championship game. Plus the walking there is not that badCongratulations Tarboro just to bad we have to meet in that ugly blue stadium instead of the beautiful Red one lol.
I'll just have to wear my NC State shirt under my Mitchell shirt to ward off any blue voodoo 🙃I personally would rather be at Carter Finley because parking is way better and also I've always thought Carter Finley is a good location for a state football championship game.

Hey...I'll just have to wear my NC State shirt under my Mitchell shirt to ward off any blue voodoo 🙃
I had a niece graduated from there I kidded her when she went that every family had a black sheep. My family was always NC State I believe my dad was because of a nephew who went there and became a NASA engineer. My youngest daughter graduated from there associates in agriculture business management from the ag institute and a bachelor's in agriculture extension and a minor in animal science her husband who she meet in high school went there as well nuclear engineering.Hey...
They let me in that blue institution...
Had lower standards back in 81 I guess...
Man, I love Craddock. We’ve been very fortunate to have himTarboro returns to state championship for 5th straight year, beats Pender
Tarboro returns to state championship for 5th straight year, beats Pender
(1) Tarboro is back in the state championship game for the fifth straight season after a 22-12 win over (6) Pender on Friday night in the 1A eastern regional championship game.wr.al
Yeah the day he retires is going to be a sad day in tarboroMan, I love Craddock. We’ve been very fortunate to have him
Great post!One last look at last night before I move on:
I thought the game was played evenly the whole night. Both teams made 1 big mistake that led to scores for the other team.
Tarboros mistake: muffing a punt after forcing a 3 and out and giving them great field position and a touchdown.
Penders mistake: intercepting the ball at the 1 yard line instead of just knocking it down. That led Tarboro to get a safety and a touchdown.
The difference in the game was that Tarboros offense was able to get one more score outside of those mistakes and Tarboros defense was able to get one more stop.
What a great high school football game by two solid teams. Congrats to Coach Craddock on winning his 10th eastern championship as the head coach of Tarboro.
He's a great coach. Also there was a lot of sportsmanship shown last night by both teams helping each other up patting each other on the back etc. Far different than NorthamptonYes as long as Eanes is there they are going to be in the mix every year
I really liked their special teams. Pender was always gaining field position in punt situations. They didn’t let their lack of an effective place kicker hamper their kick off unit. They got solid returns. They nearly blocked a couple of punts. Tarboro has struggled a lot with special teams this year and Pender leveraged that to their benefit all night.He's a great coach.

Is that all you people from the West know how to do is complain goodness. Also this argument that the East is weak is so laughable to me because the last two games tarboro didn't have the bigger o line or d line. You could have made this argument in previous years potentially but not this yearY'all get put into one somewhat close game and proclaim it an instant classic lol. But i suppose when the east is weaker than store bought moonshine you'll make a mountain out of a molehill.
If you remember from my previous posts i specifically picked y'all to win state and I ain't changed that. But it can be both things the East is terrible and yall are better than everybody else out that way. No complaining.Is that all you people from the West know how to do is complain goodness
That Pender team last night was good and were a handful to prepare for.If you remember from my previous posts i specifically picked y'all to win state and I ain't changed that. But it can be both things the East is terrible and yall are better than everybody else out that way. No complaining.
I'd like to see Wallace and Princeton back in 1a. Princeton had less numbers than Bertie and still went 2a.That Pender team last night was good and were a handful to prepare for.
And we don’t have as many people in the east that post on here to “talk” about how good they are.Princeton had chances the last four years to play us, never made it to us. In the spring, us, Princeton, and edenton were all undefeated. Edenton got Princeton in the first round, and we had the winner, edenton beat them. Folks forget how good edenton was bc we had really good teams the last four years and beat them easily. They would’ve really challenged us this year. What’s my point of this post, the East is better than you western folks think, we were just that much better the last few years we made it look weaker than it was.
