I had thought this game was officiated very well. Look at this on the long touchdown run for Martin.

A 4 loss West Forsyth put up 375yards on both East & Weddington mostly in the first half of both games this reg. season and I can't get that out of my mind.... The eye test from me(just my opinion) feels like East has better players and depth. Weddington plays smarter and more controlled. Grimsley has more talent on both sides of the ball vs Hough. I think that game is 2TD difference.

East Forsyth 36-Weddington 28
Grimsley 35- Hough 21

No disrespect to any of my fellow Viking fans but all this talk about Lakewood is getting way ahead of itself. I'm more worried about Pender and those wrecking balls they have. Just hoping no injuries occur bringing those guys down all night. You all remember the 240lb fullback we had. He could beat the crap out of defensive lines and linebackers. Most teams didn't want anymore of him in the 2nd half. This game is going to be very, very physical.

Right now, I'd make Hough the favorite for the state title.

And as soon as you started saying something good about Tarboro the guy was about to break his neck from shaking his head so hard.

The one guy literally said he saw Tarboro and wasn’t impressed - and that’s fine to have that opinion but if you’re talking 1A East football - if you’re not impressed by Tarboro then who are you impressed with?

Well I appreciate the views. I let those guys state their opinions but I will respectfully disagree like I did last night

I saw an East bladen fan comment something similar. Tarboro 3-0 all time against them is all I know 🤐

Insinuated? Really cmon man the homers are going to pick their team regardless ain’t nothing wrong with that. No one guranteed a Lakewood victory a Tarboro loss nothing.

If you’re the head guy then yeah I thought you were very logical. I’ve listened to your stuff in the past and you always do a good job.

TarVikes said:

It wasn’t flat out said but it was insinuated. Other than the guy hosting the show the whole convo was basically about Tarboro is overrated.

I just thought it was funny - but like you said, the game must be played no matter what.

And always have to admire how we omit the positive comments and go straight for the stuff we don’t agree with. Pretty sure I spent a good amount of time last night praising Coach Craddock and acknowledging Tarboro’s complete dominance over the 1A East the last 7 years.
