No that’s not how it works. It’s split up in 3 districts. You either go to North Edgecombe, Tarboro, or Southwest depending on which district you live in. I’m pretty sure every other county is the same.
Why Does Tarboro Just Keeps Winning
- Thread starter TD-FridayNight
- Start date
Just because a school is in a city doesn't mean its enrollment is limited to kids in city limits.
Mitchell can draw county wide. So can Swain, Robbinsville, Avery and Polk.
Darn those county schools pulling from those tiny populations of old people.
That's combined JV and Varsity. I think the numbers during the season was in the 40's
I don’t have a team. I make an effort to pull for all the local teams. But some posters make that a very difficult process. And most of them seem to stem from Mount Airy and another small town just East.
I own that. I relied on a source I trusted, but even trusted sources can be given bad information. I apologize if the comments I made a year ago created a false narrative. I was wrong.
I believe the waivers would have to be for activities not available at your district school. Football is played at all three, so that doesn't fly.
This is the complete truth, so why does everyone bag on Thomas Jefferson for this exact reason
Yes traditional public schools get transfers but they usually are very few and they have to abide by LEA and NCHSAA transfer rules. However many charter schools are pulling from metropolitan populations or multiple counties. For me a school like TJCA isn't really the issue. They're probably getting most their kids from the eastern end of Rutherford that don't want to deal with the shenanigans at Forest City or ER and some Cleveland kids(I'm sure you can elaborate further). Schools like MIC, PLP and Bradford Prep pulling kids from the a population of millions in a metro area are the issue. These schools and the people that go to those schools also have resources many rural schools don't. I also think some charter schools do some funky things when it comes to the lotto. Not going to accuse any certain school but sometimes things don't add up. I however don't think TJCA is one of those schools. I ran into their soccer team one evening. Very respectful group of young men and extremely nice coach. I think TJCA does things right and the system works how it should work there.
Maybe a way to fix it is to look at the amount of population a school is pulling from and then classify. If you're pulling from a population of 300,000 then your odds of having better athletes is far more better than someone pulling from 10,000.
Could you show which of these posts you’re talking about. I just briefly scanned over it and may have missed the one you’re referring to
Yes, most kids from TJ go there because they are having problems at their current school within the county. I know many of the kids at TJ now who came from Rutherford County schools came there because their parents thought it would be a better fit or they wanted to get their child away from the group of kids they were hanging out with before. As for Cleveland county kids, many of them transfer because they hear TJ is one of the best educations that they can receive. However, many Cleveland county kids end up returning to their previous school due to travel reasons or due to the fact that they can not keep up with the rigorous academics. This happens with many of the Rutherford County students also.
So you’re saying you beat Shelby? I’d think it would be a good game but kinda brash. Especially when you say last 2 yrs.
That is the same thing around here. Every kid that transfers to TJ has to be approved by the school they came from to play sports. Otherwise they have to abide by the 365 rule
I’m pretty sure it was a year ago. I’m a Tarboro fan. Why do I need to be here after football season?
As for what you want to believe, I guess you can believe whatever you want. I just know if you are using me as the center of your belief system, I’m pretty sure you will find it less than inspiring.
I don’t know if that’s what he’s saying, but I’d love to see that matchup. They played 20 years ago and Shelby won.
Tarboro folks aren't saying anything. Why would we? We've been 2A within the last decade, went to 5 straight championship games and won 3. It was only when we moved down to 1A and started playing Wallace each year that trips to the finals slowed down. I try not to get on these boards and talk smack because every dog has his day. In the case of WRH, we just ran into bigger dogs. Stay humble and enjoy the ride for as long as it takes you.
You obviously have not watched Shelby over the last few years. That is a completely different animal. I would say that Tarboro is the best up to 3a with the exception of Shelby.
Tarboro, East Surry and Edenton are very capable of winning small 2a this year.
The 2017 team wants some love while we are at it, TD. PF 765 - PA 66. (186-24 in the playoffs)
Someone from Mt Airy is calling into question students moving into a district for sports or being allowed to transfer and play sports although they live outside the district!
I have not seen those three teams play this season but they are obviously very good. I know two of the HC's and they are the best at what they do and have rings. Regarding Shelby...I think that would be a tough matchup for any of those teams. Although they would all be in it to win it in 2A/2AA Shelby has been a notch above for several years now. Does not matter, all Tarboro or any other team needs to do is win the next two against the team from their subclassification.
I really hope that was a joke buddy lol. If it isn't do you care to elaborate a little more on how Tarboro "cheats"?
All you have to have is an address to go to any school you want in Edgecombe County. Tarboro has advantages, as in, the coach could send out a mass text, " weight room open today, 4-7. The kids don't have far to go. Kids at SW or NE are spread out. The reason they keep on rolling, is first because of coaching. They keep a great coach. Second, it isn't because they run the same offense and defense from the time they're 9, it's because these kids play together from the the time they're that age. These kids slober at the mouth to put on the purple and canary yellow for the first time.
The main reason is very simple. They believe they will win every time they suit up. Motivation is 95% of high school coaching, these kids are motivated by the previous teams success. They want to carry in the excellence, and the town supports the team. Until somebody knocks them off, enjoy the tea-bag.

If you follow my posts a little closer, you'll see that it was definitely satire.
I think the most important reason for Tarboro’s success hasn’t even been mentioned yet and it’s really quite simple. From what I’ve heard the Coach shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the program. Not saying the program or anyone on the team is perfect but they seem to really have a good Christian Foundation on which their program is built upon. We live in a world today where the devil uses political correctness to silence people who follow Christ and challenge Gods authorities and the minds of these young men. Sounds to me like the main reason for Tarboro’s success isn’t the numbers, size of the county or town but rather maybe the foundation that’s in place there.. just my opinion
I can see that. You’re not a transfer If you start your high school career at that high school.
Who's bragging? & folks forget that Tarboro went to a few 2A state championships in 2A. Thats where both of my rings came from so hey
