Tarboro vs North Edgecombe

Yeah if recent history is anything as far as this matchup goes Tarboro should win pretty easily.
I’d like to see NE get back to their dominant winning ways of old…I was always a fan of theirs from afar
NE sure isn't what they used to be some years back. Not sure what happened there.
It might be the location tbh. Leggett is basically a gas station, a dollar general, and of course the school. I mean I remember a few years ago there was talk about NE closing and consolidating with Tarboro.
Years ago they redrew some lines as well. Not getting some of the guys they use to get in the 90s.
I wouldn't mind seeing us drop North Edgecombe from our schedule personally. Game hasn't been competitive in years
I expect Tarboro to break Independence record of 7 consecutive state championship appearances. I mean what, you all are already at 5? You'll break it. No one in 1a east can compete right now. Shame really.
Rumor has it Tarboro takes a dip after this season. Maybe rosewood step up and beats us🤷
I'll have to see it to believe it untill further notice you guys are the kings of 1a east. The days of Plymouth seem ages ago.
Idk. We have a lot of sophomores and juniors on the field playing for us right now
Yeah true. Just going by what I've heard from people lol.
I’ve heard the same thing… I don’t think we’ll be as good as we were in ‘17 and ‘18 within the next few years but we aren’t going to be easy to beat in 1A either.
Looks like Holmes beat Rocky Mount. Maybe this would have been the Ace's year to get past Tarboro if they hadn't moved to 2A. May be lucky for the Vikings.
I'm glad somebody humbled Rocky Mount lol. Them boys talked a lot after that game. I said it that night if that's the best Rocky Mount can play then they'll get curb stomped in the 3a east playoffs.
If we played rm again we’d beat them and I fully believe that
I fully believe that. I believe Hertford was better than them personally
Imo, I really feel like it’s time to send NE kids to Tarboro High. It honestly makes so much more sense
I know a few years ago talks were happening about north Edgecombe closing and consolidating with Tarboro. None of it ever came to fruition though. It would definitely be for the best though. Tarboro would be 2a again if that happened.
If that ever happened it wouldn’t be Tarboro anymore..we would be like Edgecombe Central or Northeast Edgecombe or something like that….for that reason I hope they never consolidate.
But imagine if they made an Edgecombe County high school and combined all 3 schools…we would have a very good 3A program
🤢🤢🤢 The outrage in Tarboro would be wild lol
Game ended up being another butt whupping for the Vikes. Does NE have low numbers on their team? This game probably should not even be played but as both are in Edgecombe Co. there is probably an obligation by the powers that be that the game be played.
Honestly that's my only explanation at this point for keeping this game on the schedule is that it's required to be on the schedule. North has always been 1a so they've always been Small.
The last time the warriors beat us was in 03, 7-6. They made the 1a championship that year, and lost to a good Elkin team. The 04 warriors team wasn’t bad, but we haven’t had a close game with them since. I also would be in favor and removing them from the schedule.
True, they are small being 1A but have some history of very good football and deep playoff runs when Coach Cobb was there. So not sure if that success was 100% Raymond Cobb and when he left it all went to pieces or if something else happened there. I certainly do not expect NE to beat Tarboro, Rocky Mount or even SWE. But it seems like they should be a little more competitive. Just hate to see games like this where one of the teams is clearly overmatched and has no chance. Does this game even bring in a big gate? If I as a NE fan, I doubt I would waste my time going to to the game to see a drubbing.
The reason numbers are low in Tarboro. They have a Prep School and early College that take away their students. I doubt they would change Tarboro High. It's a very prideful Community. I would like for North Edgecombe to stay, but if their numbers keep getting lower. Then they should move the kids to Tarboro High School. I also heard that Tarboro was going to open industries and bring more people to the area. Just what I heard.
