Great Show! I respect coach for taking up for his boys, that is what he is supposed to do. With that said, This Tarboro team is better than the 2019 Tarboro team, and this Kinston team isn't close to that East Surry team, I am sorry. In theory it sounds good, but it's easier said than done. Kinston can win this game, no doubt about it, but I am still sticking with the Vikings of Tarboro.

I don't mind him taking up for his guys. He's supposed to after all. But with all due respect, this Kinston team is NOT 2019 East Surry. This Tarboro team is better than that one and I'm also pretty confident that the offensive line east had that year is better than what Kinston will have.

Yea I totally get what you guys are saying. I think coach Thorpe is trying to find a similar style team that has success against Tarboro and let’s be honest there isn’t too many teams to pick from lol East Surry was just the best option to choose from

I do enjoy the hype this game has gotten this week. Aside from when Tarboro played Riverside who later became Martin county, our last three conferences that was nonexistent

I think that 2019 East Surry team is probably the best team in NC 1A history on the offensive side of the ball. Best team I've ever seen.

It would be one thing if Kinston was undefeated or has 1 loss to a powerhouse, but two of their 3 losses have come against sub .500 teams. And the other loss was against a team that Tarboro creamed. I'm not sure why Kinston is saying anything about them being able to win this game.
