Former Tarboro Vikings HC Jim Brett passes away

[Doppleganger#]

Been reading it all over social media. He was the HC at Tarboro from 1976 to 1991. He Coached Kelvin Bryant back in the late 70s. He won the State Title in 3A 1984 at Tarboro. They set a State record defeating the number 1 Kannapolis 20-0 at Kannapolis. They held the high power Kannapolis offense to no first downs and a total of 30 yards.

Jim Brett coached at West Brunswick for 2 years and won back to back State Titles 1992 14-6 win over Maiden. And the next year 1993 West Brunswick moved up to 3A and won the Title 19-14 over High Point Andrews.

Tarboro legend. A little before my time but many Tarboro faithful say that Tarboro team he beat in the eastern finals while he was at west brunswick was one of the best Tarboro teams ever. Prayers for his family !
