Tarboro Scrimmage
- Thread starter TarVikes
- Start date
I've seen a little footage of the scrimmage Saturday & talked to a few players. It was a few fumbles on THS varsity that will be fixed but all around it was a great performance by JV & Varsity! JV also has a kid that his teammates are calling "Train". The kid is a absolute STUD! He played in some sort of football game out of state that was kinda big! Be on the lookout! Tarboro football will be great for years to come!
I heard from multiple people we were clearly better than Conley . I know it’s hard to tell from scrimmages. Looking forward to the jamboree this Friday. Get to scrimmage against rose and havelock
Rose, havelock , Tarboro, swe, north, Greene central, and FarmVille central are the teams I know right off. Believe it’s one more team coming though.
Going to miss not going to the jamboree this year. My favorite part of any jamboree is watching the coaches interact with each other. Havelock will be there because of the obvious. Allen Wooten coaching Havelock instead of Greene Central this year. Wooten just wants to show off his new toys to his buddies lol
I feel coach Wooten overachieved with what he had to work with at Greene Central. He is a players coach. Also it seems the Havelock program was looking for a solid guy that would stick with the program a few years instead of the turnover that they have seen in recent years. I'm rooting for him to do well.
Wooten had a pretty decent record at Greene Central over the last 4 seasons. If you also consider that Havelock hired Jim Bob Bryant away from Greene Central in 2008 and he won three state championships, I could see them trying to catch lightning again from that bottle.
Coach Wooten is doing a great job here at Havelock. From what I saw at Mondays scrimmage against SW Onslow, there is a lot of enthusiasm and talent for him to work with on the team. But what I liked seeing was the discipline he is bringing. Coaching staff all seem to get along well. He also is very pleasant to talk with and communicates well with the fans. I think Havelock hired the right man.
I agree, I felt he was a good hire. He is also very good at hamming it up with the media. I have heard from several Pitt sports reporters that he is fun to interview and is a glass half full kinda guy. The players he had at Greene loved to play for him and felt confident in their General going into battle. I know he is under alot of pressure this year but if the Havelock faithful can find a way to be patient they may find they have themselves a gem in Wooten.
