You kind of got the feeling that Kinston knew that they needed to try every trick in the book in order to stay with the Tarboro Vikings and they tried it tonight. Two onside kicks a fake punt and nothing seemed to work so the end result is Tarboro 48 and Kinston 14.
This marks the second straight week that the Tarboro Vikings have had to play a conference foe and for the second straight week no problem. This is the 17th straight high school playoff victory for Tarboro. The Vikings good news is the only good news from Edgecombe County.
North Edgecombe never could get going and could never stop the 8th seeded Princeton team as Princton rolls on to the third round of the high school playoffs with their second playoff win and only fourth of the season. Princeton dominated the Warriors 43-14.
Things were not much better for the Cougars of SouthWest Edgecombe as Bunn jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and the Cougars could never catch up as Bunn moves on with a 31-14 win over SWE. With the loss comes to the end of a coaching career of one of the all time legend coaches in the Twin Counties as 2 time state champion coach Raymond Cobb has decided to hang up his whistle after tonight.
After the POD debacle where two of the top teams in the Big East met in round one it was up to Hunt to carry the Big East banner and they did what they had to do in beating Cardinal Gibbons 25-20 at Gibbons. Trailing 14-13 Hunt scored twice in the third quarter and held CG in the fourth. Up next for Hunt Cleveland who took D H Conley to the woodshed.
