As you may have all seen the 2A program of Hertford County took down the 1A powerhouse of Tarboro. Let me say from everything I’m reading and the videos I’ve seen they are going to be a legit force. Their QB is big, fast and can pass. Now I’m not saying they will win it all but they certainly have the talent on both offense and defense to get the job done just ask the Tarboro fans. To Tarboros credit it appears they just had to many players playing both ways while Hertford only had 2 players playing both ways. Now make no mistake this game was not what Tarboro anticipated but I do believe the Bears of Hertford County are going to shock some teams in 2A. They have the size and speed to get it done. Tarboro is Tarboro they will bounce right back and be even better. Tarboro’s JV destroyed Hertfords JV if that gives anyone any indication of what Tarboro has coming up in the next couple years.

I agree, good post. They’ll need to try and tweak their defense some from what I’ve heard but at the same time they have one high powered offense lead by a very good qb. Glad to see this post on these threads, they deserve the recognition
Who will be their biggest competition in the conference? Northeastern and Holmes?
They will be undefeated going into the playoffs
If they get their defense straight watch out. Offense is already lethal. And just think there's a whole lot of Juniors on Hertford county even the quarterback. Not saying they win the State title of course but people better keep an eye on them.
They play Northeastern on 9/30 in Ahoskie. NE will have Melson (qb) back and you’ll see a different Eagle team. Melson is a very good qb so posters had better be cautious before writing this years NE team off as a contender in the East. Northeastern has always played their best on the road so I wouldn’t bet against them on the 30th.
The latest Maxpreps have them #2 in 2A east
What about the defense goob? I saw Rocky Mount in person and if y’all gave up 31 to them - then the Eagles have their work cut out for them against the Bears.
That’s a concern for all of us, we are extremely young and it’s going to take some time. The return of Melson will be huge, he’s a game changer.
I’m sure it will be a great game. I might consider riding up there to watch it.
