If Tarboro was 2A
- Thread starter Finish Strong2
- Start date
playing somebody this friday nite...................
Tarboro would probably still be in it. I don't think they would be favored over the final four in 2a. Especially Reidsville,NE,and SWO. Naw! Not over those three.
Nor Hibriten or Shelby.......Respectfully these 2 teams would do the same thing to Tarboro's past competition this year with just as much ease as Tarboro has or more.
I think Tarboro is all dat. I do but it is tougher when you move up. If anyone knows it's WRH.Not saying Tarboro couldn't do it. Just saying I wouldn't put my money on Tarboro outta those FIVE mentioned.
Those teams match up size wise and athletically, and could force Tarboro to throw the ball
Deep into basketball season if in the west!
They would not win 2A or 2AA or even make it to states come on now
We talking about the same Tarboro that didn't do pre-game warm ups at the championship game in 98' against SHS?
yeah the same Tarboro that got blown out
It's crazy how everybody who wins a small ball title thinks they can step up in weight class and challenge for the belt in a higher division.
It's always easier to move down in weight class and win the belt, never the other way around, ask WRH and SWO, they used to dominate 1AA. Life is different in the lake vs the pond.
Even Shelby gets chewed up a bit when they venture out into the ocean to take on a great white.
Hey guys...it ain't been that many years since Tarboro was 2A and they were a stout team then....
I think Tarboro would be favored against all the 2a teams,except for reidsville,IMO that would be a toss up game...now Shelby and Hibriten that's a different story,Tarboro might just be to one dimensional against those teams...It would be cool to see thou

rambbq, No doubt that they would compete. They are a very good team and program. They may even win a few, but that snout would get spanked more than they’re use to! Contenders? Yes. Champions? Not so much.
There's not really a difference between the top 1aa teams and the small 2a teams...it's just a number and letter,maybe a couple hundred kids even less maybe
Todd Gurley tore us apart in 2011. It still haunts me to this day.
SWO dominated 2a ball as well there brother. Beat cumming and Shelby back to back years. Lost to a crazy HPC team with a 4a numbers. SWO has beat tarboro a few times in 2a during the playoffs.
That's like saying 3a charlotte Catholic couldn't win 4a and that's a lie because they've done it here recently,and they would probably win it this year also,Tarboro just recently dominated 2a...how easily people forget
Are we talking about THE Tarboro from the 1A board? Cause that Tarboro can't be bothered with a piddly ass little 2A championship. Them boys are looking to beat up on the Saints or the Rams so they can face KC in the super bowl!
LoL seems like it. Them and NE playing an NFL schedule next season
LoL you aren't lying. W RH is a different animal just like Tarboro. Two great football programs and football communities
WRH won it the first year we moved up. It’s definitely tougher but nowhere close to impossible.
you actually think Catholic can win 4AA? Not 4A, 4AA.
The topic was presented as if Tarboro could win 2AA. The upper tier of 2AA is more like small 3A.
As mentioned before there's not a huge gap between 1AA and small 2A. WRH had an all star 1AA team, so of course they could compete for small 2A, although Reidsville gifted them tha title game.
Tarboro would not dominate Reidsville( nor most of the ECC or Northeastern) much less a large portion of 2AA.
Tarboro would go deep in the playoffs. But it is no guarantee they could beat northeastern, swo, wrh etc. Personally I think they would be in the eastern finals or at least make the third round.
Yes, they would have fit right in with the loaded and stacked small 2A East bracket that already featured something like 4 teams that went 11-0 in the regular season, 3 other consistent powerhouses, and 3 or 4 more teams that nobody wanted to play, despite them being a team that made the playoffs as a wild card....also, they would have pushed Fairmont to the West
Tarboro would be the favorite to win 2A this year in my opinion. I don't think Reidsville is as good this year. WRH won the 2A title last year and that was not their best team in recent years.
It wasn't Reidsvilles best team either. I'm not gifting Tarboro a title this year for 2a. I don't think they are the favorites either, in the mix yes.
I guess my opinion when someone says if they went up to 2A/2AA they wouldnt win im just curious if anyone remember a few years ago when Tarboro went to the state championship in 2A 4 years in a row winning 3 in a row. They went 2008-2012. They won the 2009, 2010, 2011 state titles those years so i was curious as to why people think they couldnt compete at that level now?
Yes, of course this is a very young Reidsville team. Many of us didn't know what to expect. But in actuality this team isn't that far behind last years.
Catholic would have just as good a chance as anyone left in 4AA,I'm not saying they would win it,I would take WF myself but catholic would most definitely be in the mix,they could win the small 4A just as easily as they did before
WRH won last year fair and square,nobody gifted them anything,its football things happen in the course of a game,no excuses
Catholic could not go through the 4AA West and make the 3rd round. You're talking Hough, MC, MP, Butler, Vance. I'd take your money on that bet.
Agree to disagree
Give it up man,people here have very short memories,I said the same thing in a earlier post,people are to focused on the 1A aspect of it,with a player the caliber of Todd gurley,they would have a good shot to win 3A as well
With the teams left in 4AA right now,yes catholic would have just as good a chance as anyone else,except for WF
