Announcers are saying a Coach (assistant) You can bet Greg Lloyd wont put up with that crap long
Score is still 32-20 Burns driving about mid-way through fourth quarter... Burns hasnt completed a single pass thus far in this game which just doesnt seem right for Burns... ha ha.....
Getting a win over Forestview would be a good test of how much of an improvement Adkins has made in the Freedom program thus far. The past two seasons the Patriots let potential wins over the Jags get away. If he can go down there and get the win, it will be a sure sign that Freedom is headed in the right direction.
Losing QB Zach Brown for the season is a huge loss but then Davis went down during the game and it was too much to overcome. No excuses, injuries are a part of the game. East Duplin has to get better on defense.
Stallions look much better this year but will be a tough battle with Loris, just hope we stay healthy and hopefully make some noise in the conference and possibly make the playoffs. Looks like Loris is one of the better teams in North or South Carolina. Great atmosphere in Vinegar Hill this past Friday night! Go Stallions!!
Same with Newton got to get there an hour early for some old dude playing security guard has to dig through everybody's pocketbook and then wand them down

I have been following Page Football since the 2000s and I have been amazed that the Senior QB for Page has not been playing. Especially after seeing he was pretty busy on recruiting scene this Spring and Summer according to his socials. Looks like he had Junior Day visits to Bryant University, Princeton University, Lenior Rhyne, and Gardner Webb. You just do not see an athlete of that caliber not playing in place of a Freshman.
Your points are valid, but you also don't want to make your schedule so tough that you end up with a couple of L's. Tarboro has benefited greatly from being the #1 seed and having the easiest path and home field advantage. Putting super tough games on the schedule and collecting losses would affect their playoff seed, giving them tougher games early in the playoffs. It's a delicate situation and just depends on what's more important to the program. High playoff seed and home field, or preparation vs tougher early season opponents? I don't see a problem with them playing HC. They aren't a bad program. And also, a lot of teams just won't play them. But I understand your points.
Tbh even if Tarboro had to go on the road the last couple years I still believe they would have won those games. Especially from 2017 through spring 2021 season. The last three seasons had Tarboro gone on the road the games MIGHT have been a little closer. I see your point though. I honestly do feel like a lot of teams in our area don't wanna play Tarboro simply because it's to big a risk. If they win over Tarboro it's well y'all should they 1a. But if they lose them it's how y'all lose to a 1a lol. I'm glad we managed to get Havelock though it'll definitely be a test for the Vikings win or lose.

Yes, I see what you are saying and it is also not ideal to load up on powerhouses early and to be 0-4 entering conference play with some possible injuries due to playing 3A/4A teams with a lot more depth and few guys that have to play both ways. And I give credit to Tarboro and Havelock for getting that game on the schedule. It should be a really good one. As should the Tarboro and SWE game. It is also a shame what has become of North Edgecombe after all their success some year back. I guess they do OK in their conference games. But against SWE and Tarboro it sure gets ugly.
We had Southern Nash, Northern Nash, RR, Washington etc a few years ago but they all removed THS off of their schedules but I understand what you’re saying.
That is too bad. Not sure why they would do that unless they did not like losing to a 1A program. But there is no shame for a 3A or even 4A team to lose to a power like Tarboro. At least I don't think so. And I think maybe Central and Northern Nash started to get good only recently? Before that, I seem to recall neither of those programs being all that great.
