    MA/Tarboro Round 4

    I believe a lot of the Viking fans on this board would love the chance to play the teams you’ve mentioned here. We already have SWE and Hertford Co. on our schedule now, but those games Tarboro played against the Duplin County teams were truly classics.

    MA/Tarboro Round 4

    Oh the Bears are that good, Buzz. And the Tarboro teams in years gone by did have a wider array of plays in the playbook. Both these things can be correct.

    MA/Tarboro Round 4

    I think there is a reason our offense has been so reliant on underclassmen the last two years. After the year we won the two state championships in 2021, there just weren’t enough upperclassmen to effectively fill those positions. Every program has ups and downs, but next year’s team will be...

    MA/Tarboro Round 4

    There is something to this Thunder. A lot of our old timers remember the T having a lot more wrinkles than we’ve seen the last couple of years. No way Tarboro ditches the T, but I think our folks are wondering why there aren’t more outside, screen or counter options to give the offense a bit...

    THIS...right here. That is a talented team. Your long awaited takedowns of Tarboro only takes away from how strong the Granite Bears are.

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    It's been a few years since Tarboro has been reminded how much they would get smacked around in the SMC. Welcome back to relevance, guys!

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    You’re referring to a guy that hasn’t played for Tarboro in over a decade. Todd Gurley only featured in two of our state championships. Most, if not all of our other Division I college prospects have been on the defensive side of the ball and have nothing to do with that offenses scheme you love...

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    Say whatever you want about the scheme. We’ve been running it for five decades. The mini Vikings run it the middle school runs it the JVs run it and obviously the varsity runs it. It wouldn’t be Tarbora football if you tried to do something different. In fact, coaches have gotten fired for trying.

    Congratulations to the Bears on back to back titles. Tarboro’s special teams was special. The Viking defense was very good, but that MA defense is a perfect matchup playing our offense. Eventually, defense wears down. Granite Bear defense was indeed granite. On to next year!

    Bad decision to go for it. I can see trying to draw the Bears offside before choosing to punt. You have to keep field position in a defensive struggle. Gift to MA.

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    Our special teams have been great all year. They just haven’t been focused on much by our opposition.

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    They are, but I also notice they platoon a bit. Some of those guys only playing one way will get stronger as the game goes along. For those that wonder why Craddock is refusing to pass, he’s shortening the game. MA is known for coming out swinging in the 3rd. Tarboro must match their effort to...

    Mount Airy/Tarboro scoring updates

    So far, Tarboro’s special teams have been huge. 39 yd FG and a great punt early that kept MA in tough field position most of the half. MA punter had 2 bad punts and a missed extra-point length FG attempt.

    I like MA’s tailback. He runs like a Tarboro RB. Always grinding.

    MA VS TARBORO ROUND 3

    There is a bit of “perspective” here that needs to be addressed. If you see West teams and West results all year, you see that MA is crazy good and no one has been able to score on them. In the East, that’s Tarboro. Both teams have great defensive schemes against the run and both have been...

    MA VS TARBORO ROUND 3

    The time we played East Surry in Chapel Hill, my dad was having some mobility issues. We parked in that handicapped deck...and the elevator was out of order. I'm not sure how that's the flagship school of the North Carolina system, because they aren't very bright.

    MA VS TARBORO ROUND 3

    Kamerin scored a TD against WC and seems to be healthy enough to start.

    MA VS TARBORO ROUND 3

    Look, absolutely nothing you said here about Mt Airy can’t also be said about Tarboro. Yeah, our schedule is weak. The East is weak. Our offense is too basic. Who cares? The wins speak for themselves. You don’t have to be so butt hurt about it. If any two fan bases could just go into the game...
