West Columbus fan here. I know we’ve been quiet this year. It’s been a rough year after losing 18 seniors and injuries and hurt us. I agree that East Bladen could possibly beat North Duplin if they are healthy. They have struggled with injuries this season too. I was hoping Pender could have gotten a higher seed. I personally think Pender could be the second best team in the 1A East and could possibly be competitive with Tarboro if they keep mistakes to a minimum, but it would take an almost perfect game to do that. I think a Pender/ Tarboro matchup could have been a better 1A East Regional Final than Tarboro against a North Duplin or Wilson Prep, but we will see. Best of luck to you all. I enjoyed seeing the positive interaction between our players and coaches with you all’s players and coaches after our game last season in the 1A East Finals.
