Had them at 4th and 1, but they converted up the middle. Then lost 4 yards. Then 2 consecutive false starts. Now it's 3rd and 18 on swe 33.
First play, ball is intercepted and returned 17 yards for the td. Xp no good. Tar 14 SWE 8.
2 minutes left. If they score, it's over, because they get the ball to open the 2nd half.
Obvious hold at the line wasn't called, but holding on our db was. Next play, 33 yard td run. 2pt bo good. Tar 20 SWE 8.
James the NFHS camera is not working. Only way to follow is here or maxpreps. SWE98 is updating the score on maxpreps also.
After the first few minutes, the SWE defense has settled down. The have given up one long drive at the beginning of the game, and a short TD drive at the end of the 2nd quarter. They are playing well enough. But the offense is struggling for the second straight game. I give all the credit to the Tarboro defense though. They opened the season with 3 straight shutouts for a reason. They are in the back field before our backs get any momentum, and the sidelines speed is immaculate. Plus they have an int. We have to buckle and dime them on offense to move down the field, but the play calling is questionable. We need to pass it more. Just the threat of passing it will open that defense up. We can't keep trying to run through a solid wall. However, it's a good game. Pick 6is what's making it look worse than it is.
