With hearing the news of Coach Brett, I thought now would be a good time for Tarboro fans to reflect on how fortunate we have been to have such great men lead our program. Over the last 17 seasons, we have been extremely spoiled, and at times, I think we have even taken for granted just all that the wonderful coaches and players have done for our community. I am grateful for the young men, and wonderful coaches who have brought much joy and pride to our community. Championships aren't easy, but our staff has made them look easy the last 17 years, and I am grateful for them. Since 08 we have had 8 titles, and five second place finishes. This has been a tremendous run, and I know it is a run that will eventually come to an end, but with that said, I am thankful that our coaches are never satisfied, and every year have the expectation to win it, even if the team is not as talented, their goals do not change. For fun, I am interested to see how Tarboro fans would rank the last 17 teams? Have a wonderful Sunday everyone, and go vikings!
 
just for fun, my personal list of the last 17 teams.
14, 13, 15, 22, 23, 21, 16, 19, 08, 20 (spring 21), 24, 17, 12, 18, 11, 09, 10.

One of coaches best coaching jobs was in 21. Team nowhere near as deep as some of the others, yet ended up champions.

Funnest post season run, I’d say probably 11, going on the road the first three rounds and beating two undefeated squads. Also, a team that wasn’t as talented overall as some of the others but had the X factor which was a senior Todd Gurley who could take over a game anytime he needed too.

What's crazy is, a LOT of teams around here would love to have those 2013-2015 teams respective seasons. I agree with your list though. I'd put 17 a lil higher but I'm biased obviously haha.

You’re right. In 14 we just didn’t have the horses but the coaching staff had us playing a lot better at the end of the year. Just think, a very down team by our standards, yet gave jk all they wanted at their place
 
Winning ain't just about the bling-bling! It’s like when you find that last fry in the bag – makes all the hustle worth it! With eight shiny trophies and five 'almost but not quite' moments, it's proof these players got the skills and the coaches got the brains – the real MVPs! The coaching squad knows how to turn couch potatoes into game-changers, like molding clay into a trophy! Each season, they drill in that hustle beats talent – just like how they hustle for that last slice of pizza! And let’s not forget the fans, showing up like it's the state fair, rain or shine, proving it's more about those good vibes and friendship bracelets than the trophies. GO VIKINGS!

Does Todd Gurley still drop in sometime for Tarboro home games?
