One of the best regular season games I have watched in a decade. Glad the good guys came out on top, but heavy props to Kinston for refusing to quit.

They could’ve quit after being down 22-0 so I commend them for not quitting. They almost paid for not putting them away when we had chances but glad we got the win. As a homer, I felt Tyler was getting held a lot, which he usually does, and a few other head scratchers, but again, glad we got out with the win and was tested a little. Don’t know how it looked in person but on the stream most were saying we got the 4th and 1, if we get that, I imagine we score that drive and it never gets close

I give Kinston a ton of credit for not quitting. They fought all the way back and tied it. But even when they tied it I was very impressed with how Tarboro didn't panic at all that's the sign of a championship team. Great game though two good offenses slugging it out.

Great game guys, who ever said Kinston isn’t a passing team was wrong lol. Kam McDowell is a special talent as well as Kinston QB Tyler Jones 434 yards 5 tds 1 INT. Kam had around 280

I’ll own that. I was basing that on the game against AG, and the Chargers didn’t seem that rattled by Kinston’s passing game. I will pay Kinston this word of true respect. If they had started the game as hot offensively as they played in the 3rd and early 4th quarter, I can see the East Surry comparison.

It’s all good I’ve been wrong more than I have been right this year lol

Great conference game. As Tarvikes said, if we get the 4th and 1, we probably get to 50 and the games not as exciting. Good job by Kinston for getting the big stop. I probably give it to Kam there, but it all worked out. Goodnight everyone!

I must say it's some very bitter Kinston fans on social media tonight 🤣. Saying Tarboro is one #2 injury away from not being good. That was a good laugh. And we all know who the true Vikings are btw 😉

Let them talk. The two drives in the second half that they stopped us, they got two favorable calls, if that doesn’t happen the games not close. Again, good for them for not giving up, but it’s, no doubt we are the better team

They can say whatever they want on Facebook, but every single break went their way—and they still lost. I even saw a video this morning showing their receiver clearly catching the ball out of bounds on one of their touchdowns.

The record will show Tarboro won by seven, but the reality is if they played that game again, Tarboro would’ve won something like 55–28.

Wouldn't the same be true if their QB got hurt? Or is their receiver the star of the offense? I haven't looked at Kinston at all. Just stats and scores.

I lost count how many times Kinston was offsides and it wasn't called. Them blaming the refs for losing had me laughing hard. I also saw that video you referring to he definitely was out of bounds.

This! That’s all that needs to be said. Everything went their way, took their best shot the second half, and it still wasn’t enough. We scored when we needed and got the stop when we needed, they didn’t. That’s what winning teams do

Yea, the 3rd down right before the 4th and one was terrible. Don’t know how that one wasn’t called, but oh well, exciting game, as I’ve already said, we made stops and got scores when we needed and that’s all that matters in the end

Definitely a exciting game. Took their best shot and pulled it out. Big learning experience for the guys.

Jesus all the complaining about the refs in a win from tarboro fans is shocking to me. I’m not a fan of either school and I watched the game last night every play. Refs didn’t dictate the outcome of the game. Kinston couldn’t stop the run, Tarboro couldn’t stop the pass. Come on guys. Great game. I saw missed calls both sides but not a lot. Don’t get me wrong I see Kinston complaining too but not as many. Usually expect the opposite the losing team to complain more

Who up here from Tarboro has blamed the refs for anything? All I did was mention a video I saw where it looked like to me the receiver was out of bounds.

I think we’re just discussing critical calls at critical times. Not blaming any official for determining the outcome.

I’m just shocked a little that’s all, great fan base, you guys keep it pretty straight forward. I don’t mean no disrespect from it. I think yall are super spoiled from dominating everyone (I wished I had that problem lol)
