The second half had more to do with Tarboros pass rush being in the backfield as soon as the ball was snapped…when the line gave him time in the first half we was able to throw some good passes and move the ball.
Murphy had a great run of QB's for 15 years: '05 -'20, the program was spoiled with a lot of talent at that position. But like I said it's one thing to not be a great passer or have physical limitations, if thats all it was then it is what it is and you do what you can with what you have to work with, but in this scenario it wasn't just simply a case of being physically limited or limited as a passer. Intangibles matter more at the QB spot than any position on the field.
Thats up for debate I suppose, the one thing I know for sure is there's a 6'4" 10th grader with a cannon for an arm sitting on the bench who was really good on JV. You will have those that say he wasn't ready but the only way to get ready is to get reps, because he doesn't lack talent and the mentality is there.
Complete panic the moment the slightest amount of pressure is applied certainly didn't help.
I do believe they should have given him more reps this season. Especially in some of those blowout games
After the performances Shelby and Reidsville put on yesterday I’m not sure I want to tangle with those bulls
I hear that lol. That’s how I feel about Tarboro now.After the performances Shelby and Reidsville put on yesterday I’m not sure I want to tangle with those bulls
For sure be interesting matchups. Tarboro would have the speed and talent to keep up. Be some growing pains in the secondary but a little time and that would be shored up to make some great games.After the performances Shelby and Reidsville put on yesterday I’m not sure I want to tangle with those bulls
After seeing us yesterday, how do you think we would do in the east bracket if Tarboro wasn’t in it?After the performances Shelby and Reidsville put on yesterday I’m not sure I want to tangle with those bulls
Come on now is that a question. Yall would dog walk everyone else just like we did. Yall stopped us on offense better than anyone else had all year
That’s good to hear. I had always heard about Holmes being pretty good too. I would love to see Tarboro take on Heard County GA this year. We played them early in the season. They ended up losing once and that was in the semi final game of their playoff bracket. They are like y’all in that they are super fast and swarm on defense, but very different on offense as they throw the ball around most of the time. Their QB is committed to Georgia Southern I believe. That would be a helluva game. You think Murphy could stay on the field with Hunt? We were ahead of AC Reynolds at halftime and beat a 5a Franklin team that made a good playoff run.
Holmes this year was nothing like the teams that they had from 2017 through spring of 21. Both Murphy and Tarboro would have put the clock on them. That being said, this year they were very young and do bring back a lot. I do believe they will be the biggest threat to Tarboro the next couple of years in the east. Can I see them beating them right now? Personally no.
Can't put this on QB, put anybody you want back there and if they're running for they're life it's going to be tough, made one mistake with the fumble.
Observer seems to think otherwise. He’s been yelling fairly loudly for the sophomore since he was in 1st grade.
If you want to run the show at a program like Murphy then you need to put the time in ,football cannot take a backseat to other sports!
We agree on that front coach. #17 has to put football first if he wants to reach his potential, you can't prioritize baseball and expect that to be the case. #17 has a higher ceiling in football than he does baseball and would love to see he and his family dedicate to putting football first.
Absolutely we push our kids to play multiple sports ,we have to at the small school level, but during off season is when you put in the time.
Tarboro probably wins this game no matter what because #2 for Tarboro wasn't going to be denied in the 2nd half, special athlete and talent. But in a high level game like this you know better than anyone it comes down to a handful of plays and everything matters, the overthrow of #3 (wasn't pressured just missed him) in Tarboro territory late 2nd Q that probably would've been six points and gave Murphy a lead going into half, the fumble late 3rd Q that gave Tarboro a short field and a two touchdown cushion. These were two significant plays and had major implications on how the game evolved and we're probably looking at an even tighter game that goes down to the wire had they went differently.
Lol Tarboro was gonna score at least two more times that game against y'all. Y'all still playing Tarboro next year? I recall seeing a comment from the other swe fan that it was not looking like they would play next year?
And we were gonna score 6 tds in the 4th, so there.
.
That prediction works until you look and see the Cougs have only scored 6TDs on Tarboro in the last 4 yearsAnd we were gonna score 6 tds in the 4th, so there.
I haven't heard anything like that and wouldn't believe it until I saw the schedule.
I have said multiple times the East gets a bad rep, and there have been times the team we played in the East was better than the team we faced in the championship. With that said, it cannot be said this year. You guys were definitely the toughest team we played in the postseason. Congrats, and again, you guys should be proud!
Y'all have a nice lil thing going on there. You might even get far enough to win one soon. Good luck.That prediction works until you look and see the Cougs have only scored 6TDs on Tarboro in the last 4 years
37-12 All time series record.
I’m serious about Tarboro being good enough to win titles in a higher classification. That was an outstanding Murphy team that they shut out last night. We ain’t used to that around here and it hurts our pride a little. But no, they shouldn’t be moved up as long as their numbers are 2a range. Although it wouldn’t break my heart lol.
