The game that Wilson Prep has been looking for, for the last 2 years. Do they have what it takes to take down this Purple and Gold powerhouse?
 
I have been waiting a couple of years for this game, so I might as well get the thread going. I had two kids at Wilson Prep. I went to Wilson Prep games, but I found myself not liking this football team much. Yeah, they have talented players, but they are so incredibly undisciplined. If they were ever able to get all 11 guys trying to accomplish the same task, they could be great. But every year they managed to avoid the measuring stick in the East by losing close games to less talented teams with more grit and discipline. They don’t know what deep water they are heading into. I’m normally a humble fan, but I really and looking forward to seeing the Vikings pound on WP.

As another poster said, I hope our players don’t take the bait and play a clean game. We saw how they acted at the jamboree, so we’ve gotta stay disciplined and let the scoreboard board do the talking
 
I don't see them stopping Tarboros offense. Apparently they got some good size guys upfront but I don't see them slowing Tarboro down. Warren county scored 26 on them and Tarboro beat them 71-0

What kind of crowd do you expect them to bring?
I know little about this year, but Wilson Prep home games weren’t that well attended. They typically charge $10 for regular season games against KIPP, Rocky Mount Prep, etc. I don’t expect anything bigger than Pender brought.
 
Wilson prep head coach said on football Friday they gonna come to Tarboro and take what's theirs.
The bravado goes a long way with that administration. It attracts the kind of mercenary athletes they want. They’ve been lucky in prior years to be eliminated from the playoffs in close losses to lesser teams than Tarboro. A wise man once said, “Everyone has a plan until you’re punched in the mouth.”

I agree. However with the expansion of classifications next year, Wilson prep will more than likely cakewalk to the 1a championship the next 4 years at least. Especially with Tarboro going to 2a
 
We have been waiting for this game since WPA said they wanted to go to Tarboro in the local newspaper. As good as they are, I don't think they are yet on the Tarboro level. Every coach I talked to told me that getting Tarboro is the dream game of your season, but it soon becomes a reality of how much different your program is versus theirs when the clock starts.

Looking forward to your coverage this week. Will Yall be at the game?

Corvian Community May be a problem?? I see that they beat Mount Airy.

That’s everything that’s wrong with sports right now. Schools third year sitting right in the heart of Charlotte and going against small town 1A teams.

Basically picking up solid players that were borderline players on 4A schools in the Charlotte area. A joke to me.

Their defensive line was incredible. Very well coached team and disciplined also. Best defense MA Bears have played in a very long time, although MA didn’t have the trench play they had in years past, Corvian was solid! Going to be a great game between them and Mountain Heritage
 
Prep coach said in the huddle that they’ve been begging for Tarboro for 3 years 😂😂

This MA team seemed way too reliant on one RB. Martin is a good back, but when Corvian sold out to not letting that guy beat them, the Bears couldn’t muster enough to get it done. Gutsy effort by that young man, but fumbling on the final drive will be in his head the entire off season. I feel for him.

Correct, in years past MA could hit you with more than one player including the passing game. They rode #4 all year because he could usually get the job done, but last night they zeroed in on him and MA had nothing else to turn too. Just not as talented as in years past, it happens!
