This was a no brainer, as far as the gate is concerned. This is the biggest game of the entire season, sans a state championship game, for both squads. Not sure just how torrential the downpour will be Friday, so I can't comment on safety concerns. But anything that could potentially keep people at home is a no go for this rivalry game. It was already gonna be packed anyway, but throw in the fact that both Tarboro, #2 1A, and SWE, #8 2A, are undefeated at 5-0, my guess is that many people will be turned away at the gate. It's only Wednesday, but I've already gotten my ticket. I suggest anyone tha wants to attend to do the same.
