I agree they did not dominate tarboro's defense. If it hadn't been for very poor special teams on kickoff and punting it would have been a closer game. Although it looks like Mount Airy was very conservative once they got a big lead well once they went up 14 points. What they did do which was surprising to me was with tarboro up front. They dominated them. There's probably 10 plays where tarboro had to push or rather had a push. They were bigger but they definitely weren't stronger. I was surprised at that. Now I know that one kid was out and he was the best player they had probably.
Any upset predictions for first round games?

Tarboro has beaten the West teams how many times over the years for state titles? MA won and may again, but they do not compare to the history and titles TB has claimed all these years. Funny how people gain a few seasons of high level success and they are suddenly world beaters. When the facts are they have a long ways to go to claim dominance over a team like Tarboro who has filled a trophy case slam full beating Western teams all these years.
I only have the biggest mouth because I’m telling the truth. You don’t like it. I get it.
I think that's probably the biggest problem we have on these boards isn't it we can discuss who was the best team back then. Or whatever. But most of these coaches and players only give a piss about right now. Talking about this year. We were good the last 5 years. We're not this year. Although we did smackdown West Stokes which I love. I hate seeing that fat boy be successful over there. But I saw robbinsville and Mount Airy and Starmount. I saw a few others too but those are the best three teams I saw. Mount Airy is far and away better team. I actually think that star mount and robbinsville are pretty close. As far as out east goes it's the same knock it's always been. They look great getting off the bus. But when it comes to big games or when you smash them in the face they don't play. They get in fights, they're bad on special teams, and they're undisciplined, fortunately for tarboro they have a guy who gets it. A great football coach who has lead young men to not only be great football players but be great people. I think it's fantastic. He has done so much for those kids over the last 20 25 years and has done so much for that town. A lot of those guys are upstanding citizens and aren't perpetuating bad lives because of Coach craddock and his staff. More power to them. That's what it's about. They're tough as hell. And they're good as hell people..
Like I’ve said before, if not for holding those TDs that got called back would not have happened. Dang tell you players not to hold.
I guess everyone forgot that Edenton made deep runs every year, Northampton was in the mix 2-3 years in the 3rd-4th rd. I know Edenton could’ve beat MA in 2017 and Northampton and Pender could’ve beat Mitchell in 2021. Everyone acts like the east has slouch teams.
weren't they 2 a then? or were they 1a? Northampton and Pender are not beating mitchell that year. Mitchell was the same team as tarboro, run it right at you. There problem was Tarboro was alot better. What did Tarboro do to those teams? whipped that ass didn't they. 2017 mount airy maybe. That mitchell team was good.
Edenton was 1a from 2017 through spring 2021. Those teams get a bad rap because of how much Tarboro beat them by. But they were very good teams. That game against pender was actually a very good game. It was a tied ball game til Tarboro scored a safety late in the 4th and then sealed it with a touchdown. I think they could have given Mitchell quite the game.
Come on man. I agree with most of what you say be WC isn't in many top tens and they played nobody
Game day is finally here, 1st round state playoffs. I hope everyone has safe travel to your games and an injury-free game.

Tarboro is always the team to beat if you want to win state.
Would it be fair to say Buzz and his buds are wannabe Tar-bears?
Man I am so glad Thomasville and NR avoided those upsets people called for in these close 49-6 and 63-17 ballgames.
As far as upsets if I counted correctly I saw 3 lower seed teams in the East beat a higher seed team. Unless I missed one the only higher seed team I saw get beat in the West was Draughn.
We have a lot of respect for Tarboro!
Draughn loss does not surprise me. They had a huge OL last year that made a big difference for the QB and RB to be effective. Now we are seeing the Charters start to win in football now with those 25 mile radius rosters.
Be interesting to see which new charters try to do well. TJ and MICS tried to make a splash, but haven't amounted to a hill of beans.
Right I wasn't terribly surprised ether I figured it could go ether way but I just meant as far as lower seeds beating higher seeds. I think we'll see more higher seeds lose next week especially some that only got a higher seed because they won their conference or at least the 1A part of a 1A/2A conference. But then again some of them surprised me tonight with the margins of their wins.
Winston-Salem prep had a good team a few years ago. Lost to Robbinsville in OT, mostly because they had no kicker.
