Tarboro played arguably their best game of the season against Warren county. They'll have to do it again against a physical Pender team. Pender has a big bruising full back that has over 2,300 yards rushing on the year. Should be a good one. A few people on highschoolot.com think Pender has a great shot

He’s a big boy. I’m sure it’s not fun trying to tackle him in 40 degree weather - with that said I think Tarboro should win this one by multiple scores but I don’t think Pender will be a pushover like the last two opponents.

I will believe it when I see it. A few comments on the Warren Co. game said the Eagles could keep it interesting early on but looks like their doors were blown off early and often and they never had a chance. This Vikings team looks like it is on a mission and is 100% focused. More than likely another blow out and Pender goes home after getting whipped.

I hope you’re right. I’m sure pender is going to look to control the clock. If we can go up multiple scores early, I like our chances

No chance… Tarboro by 21 plus, although Pender is a decent team.

I’d say a a score similar to their game with Whiteville this year.

48-24 Tarboro

Penders defense is the most improved in the conference. I do believe that this is the eastern championship just a week early. Nobody is picking Pender but I will. Pender 48 Tarboro 42. I know I’ll get a lot of heat but it’s whatever. All the kids can do is show up and play ball. Hope for an injury free game by both teams!!

If pender wins I doubt it will be a shootout. I can’t see Tarboros defense giving up 48 points to a running team. I don’t think there will be enough possessions unless you’re thinking pender will break a bunch of long runs.

Pender scored 12 points in 2021. I think Tarboros defense is better this year than it was that year. That’s a big jump to go from 12 to 48…

I respect your opinion. I do think however IF Pender wins it'll be a lower scoring game. With the way both teams run the ball I can't see either team getting a lot of possessions. As cold as it'll be Friday I don't think you'll see much passing

I’m not mad at you, I understand your love for your team. You guys have had a really good year. I actually think this game will be closer than most just because of the low number of possessions, but I think the Vikings win in the end

Tarboro looked fabulous and played great in that all Gold uniform. They should wear it again vs Pender. What will Tarboro might wear this week?
