Wait a minute... Tarboro 1 and Graham 2 are the champions in each region in 3A that year. It's just a different way of being 3A and 3AA. The lower classifications 1A/2A had four regional champions and are not considered state champs extraordinaire. 3A and 4A still had the 2 regional distinction just like 1A and 1AA today. The lower classifications (1A-2A) schools were regional. The 4 teams listed as "state champs" in 1A and 2A doesnt have the legitimacy as a state champ for that reason. I gotta disagree here the 3A in those days is just as legit as any 3A or 3AA title under the circumstances of the time period.
