#1Tarboro (1A)24 #5 SW Edgecombe 7

[swe98]

Good game so far. Still tied at 0.

 

[swe98]

It's so packed out here. We never have enough seats when Tarboro comes through. Great high school football atmosphere.

 

[swe98]

Swe with a terrible punt to its own 45. Have a feeling Tarboro will make us pay.

 

[swe98]

On cue, as I typed, Tarboro with a 45 yard td run. Try no good. 12-7 Tarboro.

 

[swe98]

Kickoff returned to the 47.

 

[swe98]

Deep 40+ yard bomb to the 4. But SWE is stuffed as the half ends. Couldn't get 4. Awesome Tarboro D. 12-7 Tarboro at the half.

 

[swe98]

Tar ball to start the 3rd. Defense sends them backwards first two plays and holds. Punts to SW 38. Swe defense was outstanding that series.

 

[swe98]

SW wide open pass off the mark. Run stuffed. 3 yard pass under pressure. Punt. Tarboro's defense was outstanding that series.

 

[swe98]

Tar 3 and out. From own territory, shanked punt of less than 10 yards picked up on the bounce and returned to Tar 30.

 

[swe98]

If defense is your thing, then this game where one team averages over 40ppg and the other team averages over 50ppg should wet your whistle lol. Both defenses are playing lights out!

 

[swe98]

9 yard pass gain for swe on 4th down. Needed 10. Tar ball at own 20.

 

[swe98]

Tar 3 and out again. Again, poor punt fromown 20 to own 44.

 

[swe98]

Swe cannot run the ball on these boys. Smh. 1 yard gain.

 

[swe98]

And the next play is a 30+yard rush to Tar 10.

 

[swe98]

Next play, fumble, recovered by Tar at own 10. This game is giving me a heart attack.

 

[swe98]

First down Tarboro to own 30. 17 yard run to near mdfield. False start moves it back 5. End of 3rd. Tarboro 12. SWE 7.

 

[swe98]

Tar punts. Ball didn't fly, but roll inside the 10. He hasn't been very good tonight.

 

[swe98]

Swe misses open receiver for at least 25 yards. Next play is a reception, but the receiver has to climb the ladder to get the ball, which killed any rac attempt. He's been missing high all game.

 

[swe98]

Swe produces its own poor punt from the 10 to its own 35.

 

[swe98]

Several missed tackles on 1st and 20 and now tar threatens from the 3.

 

[swe98]

2 yard td run. Try no good. 18-7 Tarboro. 7:30 to go.

 

[swe98]

Swe ball at 30. Wow. 15 yard reception is fumbled and recovered by Tarboro. But defensive penalty reverses fumble and moves ball near midfield for swe.

 

[swe98]

BIG sack by the Tar defense forces a loss of 12. Next play, complete misfire of pass. QB is not accurate. Punt to Tar 20.

 

[swe98]

3 min remaining and I have a feeling that the boys are saying F it. They look frustrated.

 

[swe98]

Tar to punt, mishandled snap and tackled at own 25. Can SWE move the ball???

 

[swe98]

False start to begin crucial drive.

 

[swe98]

Hoping for a jump ball to standout receiver. Problem is, the QB puts so much air in his passes, that it gives EVERYBODY the opportunity to get to the landing point.

 

[swe98]

SWE player hurt with not much movement, under 2 minutes left.

 

[swe98]

He's hopping off, no weight on leg.

 

[swe98]

Intercepted that high @$$ pass this time, returned 80 some yards for the TD. No PAT attempt. 24-7 Tar. 42 second left. Maybe they know something I don't, but he's not passing the ball to a receiver. He's throwing it downfield and leaving it up to a receiver to get it himself. Even on intermediate passes, it's too high.

 

[swe98]

Final, Tarboro 24. SWE 7

 

[swe98]

Swe definitely left 14 points out there, with two turnovers near Tarboro's 5. Being up 21-18, there would have been no need for the hail mary attempt that resulted in the int return. Couls have been a different game. We were at the door more times than them. Had more POTENTIAL points. But......ehhhh.

 

[CrazyHeel]

Yep. We had our chances late in the first and to start the second half. I give Tarboro credit, their defense is outstanding. The Vikings didn't play a great game. False starts, putting them behind the chains, and they put a few balls in the ground. But that defense wasn't giving up nothing, especially on first down. It looked like we were confused an aweful lot on offense.
