Could Tarboro beat Mallard Creek, Butler, Hough, Wake Forest, Richmond...NO!! They would be competitive though. Could Tarboro beat 4A schools like South Caldwell, McDowell....yes!
There are some 1A teams that can compete against the bigger schools. Tarboro, Mount Airy, Murphy, Holmes are a few to name.
I don't know why this is even being discussed on a 2A board. How about we get Tarboro to play SW Onslow next year? That should be something to talk about.
They could certainly beat New Bern and they are 4A.
