The Tarboro Vikings have 7. 84, 09, 10, 11, 17, 18, and 20. Runner up in 98, 08, 12, 19.
As another posted stated, we have 65 before segregation, and patilio high school May also have some, but under Tarboro Vikings, 7.

I expect us to be in the hunt, but it’ll take our best efforts, and our best efforts only to pull off number 8 this year.

What flipped the switch to start the Tarboro run in 08?

We’ve always had the athletes. We had some great teams in the 80s and early 90s but playing 3a and only one playoff per division, made it much more difficult to make a championship. Also, coach Craddock started in 04. He did things much different than the coach before him, so it took a few years of kids completely buying in to his system to translate onto the field. He won the conference his first year, but went through some hard years, and started to get some heat from Tarboro faithful. All the while he was sowing the seeds, and laying a new foundation. 08 was the year he began to reap a harvest.

I'm assuming Todd Gurley lol.
Todd Gurley didn’t really come on the scene till the 2010 season. He didn’t play at all in 08, was moved up from jv in 09. So that’s two title Appearances without him. Now of course he helped tremendously in 10 and 11. 12 we went undefeated until the title game without him. Todd is great for our community and goes above and beyond to help out, but Tarboro football is much more than him.

I think patillo won it in 52 and 53 don't quote me on it though. As for our chances to win states, I like them better than earlier this year. I still stand by what I said earlier this season, that if we win state it'll be by one possession.

So Robbinsville black Knights can count title won when we was robbinsville blue devils?
Does Robbinsville count the titles separately that they won after bringing in all the athletes from Stecoah and Mountain View high schools?

Todd was on JV my sophomore year & didn’t get moved up. We lost to Newton-Conover that year. Next year my junior year he played JV also at a sophomore. He was moved up in the playoffs & barely smelt the field. We beat Mount Heritage that year. Now his junior year is where he started on varsity & the rest is history & that was 2010

The main question I want to know is who’s going to stop Eastern Randolph in the west? That’s my pick to make it out.
