Hopefully if 5A comes in NC, that's still a big if. It will bring more parity between conferences.It will be interesting in a few years when they do the next alignment. Crazy to think how much bigger our numbers are versus TN. These are the splits in TN...
1a - 0-375
2a - 376-556
3a - 557-821
4a - 822-1102
5a - 1103-1508
6a - 1509-+
That's the problem in trying to dismantle the Tarboro machine. Their defense is the bread and butter, heart and soul of the team.Can Tarboro be beat by a 1a team? I am not sure it can be done but I think it would take a SMC style game. You can’t match them athlete for athlete. Just nobody has that kind of depth. Heck most 1a teams are lucky to have 40 boys 9th-12 grade playing. They have 100 probably. You would have to really slow the game down and take every second you could off the clock. I saw Robbinsville a few years ago against either Swain or Murphy, I cant remember. They took the entire 3rd quarter and finally scored in the 2 min of the 4th quarter.. Hard nosed 3.5 yards a carry game and hope you got a turnover somewhere to get you ahead on the scoreboard. One penalty on offense and you lose the game. The bad part is Tarboro is probably better on Defense. So is it possible?
Wow that would change things here.It will be interesting in a few years when they do the next alignment. Crazy to think how much bigger our numbers are versus TN. These are the splits in TN...

Could you see BK starting up that Early College to make sure Robbinsville stays right under that mark? lolWow that would change things here.

From 2001-2018 only 1 year we would've been 2a and that year we had 378.
We would've played 2a and not said a word.
We're not afraid. Country Day, CS, Hapeville Charter, and Erwin on our schedule the last 8 or 9 years proves that.
It was funny though. I admit I chuckled a little.
Absolutely! So many of Tarboro's points are directly related to a defense that produces turnovers and short fields on offense. Everyone looks at Tarboro and notices the offensive stats, the ancient, run heavy, hide-and-seek style offense that produces multiple 1000 yard backs year after year. In order to lean on such an unbalanced, predictable offensive scheme, you also have to have the smothering defense than puts the ball right back in the offense's hands.That's the problem in trying to dismantle the Tarboro machine.

I agree! Tarboro defense has been strong for years now & gets overlooked b/c of the points the offense puts up!Absolutely!

Sleep on Tarboro I see lmboooIt’s a good thing they don’t have to play anybody in the smc, these plow mules up here wouldn’t have a chance
We would be under that most years. If we had 376 then we would man upband play 2a.
I don’t know about the rest of the faithful but I kind of feel like we’re stealingAs long as its 500 younz got it made.
Nice to see a Troll posing as a fan of an opposing school ....I don’t know about the rest of the faithful but I kind of feel like we’re stealing
That game wasn't "stolen" as you call it. It was earned through hard work by the players and coaches. I also watched the game at Mitchell which was also earned. Fact is, Murphy, Mitchell, or Robbinsville would have laid that kind of loss on Pamlico.Why would you think that, did you watch the championship game last year
That’s my point we have no business playing little schools like thatThat game wasn't "stolen" as you call it. It was earned through hard work by the players and coaches.

On paper, yeah. But Mitchell was the team to beat in 17 too... There is a mental block in regards to Murphy, the kids are just gonna have to get over that hump. Bout had it last year lol!Right now Mitchell is the team to beat in small 1A. They bring back more than Murphy or Robbinsville and were better than Robbinsville last year anyway. Seniors mean a lot and Mitchell will have a lot of good ones.
Having a young team Murphy will get better throughout the year and might have something to say about it come playoff time IF they stay relatively healthy.
That’s my point we have no business playing little schools like that
I’m not disparaging our players they work harder than most schools that’s why we win, but come on man.
Sometimes people have no answers. They would rather just ignore the questions, by whatever means they can.Not sure why I am brought into this. My glasses are not shaded with any school colors. Just a old man that enjoys small town wrestling and football.

Where is Sam the man when we need him?? LolGood to see ya back rville20, sitout, mbulld or whatever other name you're going by these days.
If by chance you decide to drop down to just one username stick with sitout....he seems to be the most rational of your multiple personalities.
I don't have a clue what your talking about 95, how does a person get multiple accounts.Good to see ya back rville20, sitout, mbulld or whatever other name you're going by these days.

How's the wrestling program looking? You guys were winning titles just recently. Are you looking for another push for titles in wrestling with all the athletes coming through right now?On paper, yeah. But Mitchell was the team to beat in 17 too... There is a mental block in regards to Murphy, the kids are just gonna have to get over that hump. Bout had it last year lol!
It looks that way, on paper they are loaded this coming year. How's your Knights going to look? You have several starters to replace.Avery will be the favorite to face the SilverSpoons.
