The Tarboro Vikings with stood an offensive explosion from the Wolfpack of East Bladen but when they needed defense the Vikings pitched a shutout in the second half and the Tarboro Vikings win the 2-A Eastern Finals beating East Bladen 28-22.
Tarboro found themselves down 22-21 at the half. They advance to the finals in Chapel Hill for the second year in a row. They will play Mountain Heritage who won 51-13 in the west tonight. Mt Heritage is out of Burnsville North Carolina.The 2-A finals will again be played Friday night in Kenan Stadium at UNC.
The fourth time in five years a Nash County school played in the Eastern finals and for the four time in a row heart break. Last year Rocky Mount led late in the fourth quarter and was running out the clock and fumbled and West Craven drove down the field to win late. Southern Nash was in command leading 20-17 and had South Johnston out of time outs and fumbled and SJ managed to drive the field and kick a field goal to tie.
It took three over times as neither team could score a touchdown in the first two and settled for field goals and a 26-26 score. Southern took one play to score but missed the extra point. South Johnston responded to score a touchdown and did not miss the extra point to beat Southern Nash 33-32.
Southern lead 20-10 with six minutes to play in the game and managed to lose.
The news is not good at all for North Edgecombe as their trip to Teachey to play Wallace Rose Hill turn into a night mare as WRH trips North Edgecombe 46-14.
Tarboro will try to make up for last years final game. Southern Nash finishes the season 11-4 which now turns out to be their most successful season since 1991. North Edgecombe has their first winning season since Raymond Cobb took off to the other side of the county and SouthWest.

Eastern Finals Friday
Last night the Gryphon boys basketball remained unbeaten winning at home against SouthWest Edgecombe. It was a specials night for two Gryphons who this year transferred from Cougarland. The girls also handled the lady Cougars to win their second game in a row. The girls are now 2-1 on the season while the boys are 3-0
The Eastern Finals: If you are a person who loves to watch local teams when they play in the playoffs then you are traveling tonight.
Southern Nash @South Johnston- The last Big East team will need to cover all over the field. We all remember that Rocky Mount hit them for a big play passing when they should have been expecting it. If Southern holds on to the ball they have a chance but they can not afford to be –minus two in turnovers when this one is over. South Johnston will play in the state championship game for the first time ever. SJ 28 Southern Nash 20
North Edgecombe @ Wallace Rose Hill- By far the Warriors have the most to be proud of this year. No one, no not one thought they would still be playing. If the truth be known, I don’t know of many who thought they would win more than two or three games this year. WRH will move on 28-6 over the Warriors. I hope the Warriors fool me again.
Tarboro @ East Bladen: Tarboro will try to get back to the final game for the second year in a row. This will be their stiffest challenge to date. Tarboro will be heading back to the the championship game after they beat East Bladen 19-6.
Hope that all three of our local teams win.
The first time ever the Big Ten has beaten the ACC in the Big Ten-ACC showdown. All six team that lost played a part but none was bigger than Clemson blowing a 23 point lead with 17 minutes to play and losing.
Last night Buffalo had a home NFL football game in Toronto Canada. When the 90 something owner of the Bills dies expect the Bills to find a new Home. LA?, San Antonio?
Cousin Lauren Doughtie has now played two rounds in the LPGA qualifying school in Daytona Beach Fl. She shot 77 Wednesdayand had a 73 yesterday. She is tied for 69th position. She has three rounds to go and needs to shoot in the 60's all three days to try to make the LPGA.
