How is Southwest expected to be this upcoming season? An improvement from last season or a bit of a struggle? I always have a soft spot for tarboro's rival since my mom graduated from there,my stepdad graduated from there as well.
2022 Tarboro Football schedule
- Thread starter Tarboro Vikings fan 2018
- Start date
My mother graduated from NE. She always gets mad at me when I tell her they need to close NE down & just send most to Tarboro & the rest to Northern Nash. She be getting pissed w/ me lol. They love that school but she loves Tarboro football b/c of me & my brothers
Unfortunately, we'll be better than we were last year. I say unfortunately because improvement will only gain the coach more time here. The fanbase isn't pleased at all. It's not like we've had a drop in talent around here. A regular season 5-5 record is most likely, but strangely enough, I can also see a 6-4 record, with us going into the final game of the regular season tied with West Craven at 5-0 (6-3) in the conference. We won't win that game, though. I don't see any threat from Greene Central, Farmville, or Ayden Grifton. I think North Pitt had a good year last year, but comes back to their program's reality this year. The intriguing game is Washington. We stayed with them for a while this past season before they recognized that they were just better than us. If we can do the same this year, an upset COULD happen. I have wins against North Edgecombe, Greene Central, Farmville Central, Ayden-Grifton, and North Pitt. Losses vs Northern Nash, Hunt, Tarboro, and West Craven. Coin toss vs Washington.
The showing we had in the 1st round loss to Wallace-Rose Hill last year was big. We scored the 3rd most points they allowed with 36, and their two games in which they allowed more points were against an out of state team, and Shelby in the championship. Those points we scored weren't in garbage time either. They were legit, whole game points. If the team had an ounce of decent defense, it could have been an intriguing game.
In summary, SWE improves this season. It'll still be ugly during the non conference. NN, Hunt, and Tarboro are 3 teams that no one should want to play right now. There will be blowouts early. The defensive side is getting a lot of attention and overhaul, as it should, and will most likely be out there practicing for the conference portion of the season early on.

Rudeboyz, when did u graduate? I knew the original rudeboyz from the late 80' & early 90's.
I may. Im usually on the sideline during the Jamboree. Craddock usually cool w/ his former players on the sideline during the Jamboree
Just think, last Friday night for a while without Viking football
I will be at the jamboree. And then I'll be using vacation time for the Tarboro vs Rocky Mount game 😂. I ain't missing this one lol
Do they sale Tarboro t shirts, or sweatshirt around Tarboro. I am sure places like Walmart, Wallgreen, and Food Lion might. Or any other place? If i am in the Tarboro area i might jave to get me one.
Tarboro smokes Rocky Mount this year.
Judging by what I've heard Tarboro players are chomping at the bit to play them. And to be honest the new offense that SouthWest edgecombe is running is basically identical to the one that Rocky mount runs. Regarding that game last year Tarboro was injured and also showed how young they were. But Rocky Mount really didn't impress me to be honest we held them to 12 points and basically it was six until the final minute of the game.

And don’t get me started on that phantom hold call
Oh we scored lol. Final score in my mind was 12-7 Rocky Mount. That being said I predict Tarboro scores this time
The most impressive thing about Rocky Mount was their size. The player that stood out to me was #9 the defensive end. He was big and seemed to be in our backfield on nearly every play he was in.
I think it would have been 7-6 Tarboro because we would not have been in the situation to go for it on 4th down inside our 35 and give them field position for their finial score. Just my thoughts.
They wouldn’t of scored that second touchdown if they didn’t call that phantom holding penalty. I think after that happened our guys got deflated.
I also think I heard their QB from last year transferred. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong

Cotton Press in downtown Tarboro has some of the best looking Viking Gear in town!!!
This is actually pretty crazy but my mom bought a Todd Gurley Tarboro Jersey in Williamsburg Virginia. Wonder if there was some more Tarboro gear in Williamsburg.
The Straight T is coming.....
LOVE watching Craddocks offense go...... Best of luck to the Vikings this season

I’ll be there got to watch the jv first though my grandson plays for conley
I would love to go but I have some business to handle. If anyone goes please update us!
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they usually do the scrimmage early in the day around 10:00 a.m. or so? I can't remember them ever doing a scrimmage this late in the day.
Years ago, I can remember some later in the day scrimmages, but I do believe the last few years they have done it in the morning
I know ever since we started scrimmaging against Conley it's usually been early in the morning. We've been scrimmaging them for awhile
UPDATE
JV kicking Ass, Varsity is looking decent. Tip for Tap right now with them, just running plays. Remember DH Conley is a 3A school

I was
I was curious about the JV. All I’ve heard from people is about how good they are. I think I’m gonna go watch them play next Thursday.
Come on now give the rest of these 1A school some hope
sounds great that the future looks bright just like the present.
It’s tough. I say this humbly but I really think last year was the best chance to get Tarboro between the youth and losing 2 of their top 3 players to injury before the season started.Come on now give the rest of these 1A school some hope
Anything can happen with high schools kids but I think they are only going to get stronger over the next 4-5 years with what they have now and what’s coming up from the middle school.
