There are 7 teams in 1A who have yet to win a game. How many of those are going to be opt outs? 4 in the West, 3 in the East. Theres 1 in 2A who has yet to win a game but there are 9 teams who only have 1 win. Do we see any opt outs there?
I ran the distance from C Central to the East schools. I guess the closest would be Wilson Prep 99 miles, E Columbus 116 miles and SB Howard 106. I think there will be byes for most of the 1-5 seeds on both sides, maybe the 6's in the first round.

If that holds that puts East Wilkes coming to Starmount in the 3rd round!! What a rematch that would be! Hats off to East for what they did against them last Friday! Wish we could see more games like that!

You do realize this is the toughest conference that Tarboro has played in in well over a decade right? Not to mention last year Kinston gave Tarboro a heck of a game final score was 42-35. Now in previous conferences sure you got me there was virtually zero chance of them losing.

Conference is much tougher now than it has since 2012. I fully expect the Vikings to take care of business and go undefeated, but they cannot sleepwalk through any of these games.

For years, people always knocked Tarboro for the conferences they were in. This past realignment did indeed upgrade their competition. Hell, they are the only 2A team in a 3A conference. Greene Central, Farmville Central, and Kinston are all supposed to be tough battles, however, Greene Central has already been railed twice, Farmville got blown out last year and are giving up 50 points a game this year, so eh. And although Kinston gave Tarboro a close, classic game last year on their way to the state championship, they are far from the caliber of team they had last year. So no, Tarboro isn't losing a conference game this year either.

East Wilkes Elkin Alleghany and Starmount have 3a and 4a teams in their conference.

What’s your beef with Starmount, with the constant snarky comments and hate? The Rams not meeting your expectation? Or you still sore they waxed your team last year in the playoffs and sent them back up the mountain with their tails between their legs? Nothing but respect here for the folks in Mitchell County, but geez.

No beef here, you guys were hyping them up so much. Hope we meet you in playoffs.

A team that made it to the Western Finals with 17 seniors back including several returning all-conference players. Who wouldn’t expect a big year?

They should go undefeated I agree. But unlike previous conferences, Tarboro can't play sloppy or they'll lose.
