Football's Second Round

The Tarboro Vikings have won 16 straight playoff games and any time you get to the point when you can add to a streak there is always the possibility that the streak will end.  Case in point the Vikings will be at home against the only team this season that really late in the game still had a chance to beat the Vikings.  Those other Vikings from Kinston will try to score  28 points like the first time they played Tarboro but will try to hold Tarboro to less than the 34 they got last time.  I doubt Kinston can do either score 28 this time around or hold Tarboro to less than 34.  The first time they met this year was in Kinston but Friday night it is in Tarboro.  I need to research the last time Tarboro lost a home game to a 2-A team.  Tarboro 34 Kinston 20.  A B Whitley's back surgery from what I hear went well and  should be able to listen to the game on the radio  Friday night.

Any time a  team plays Cardinal Gibbons you know you are going up against a school that has every thing that every other school would like to have.  Hunt's second round playoff game if you plan on going you had better get there early because N C State basketball opens it basketball  season across the street Friday night at PNC Arena.  That area around Edwards Mill Road will be bumper to bumper around 7pm.

As this season has unfolded I honestly think that for the first time during Randy Rapers coaching career at Hunt they just may have his best team ever and would lead you to think this team can win the State Title.  These two met in the playoffs last year with Hunt winning and I believe this year's Warrior team is better than last year I'll take Hunt 28-20 over CG.

Bunn will be hosting SouthWest Edgecombe  and I don't know why but I think the Cougars are going to win.  This just might be the best game of the night for any our our local teams or conference teams still left in the playoffs.   I think SWE's schedule has prepared them to get at least to round three.  Cougars 35 Bunn 32

Talk about falling in your lap but North Edgecombe could not sit down at a table  and plan a playoff any better than what has been presented to them.  3-8 Princton comes to Leggett and the Warriors had better be appreciative of the gifts handed them  North Edgecombe 34 Princton 18
