“We have Tar Heel Nation in Butler County, Missouri.”
Gene Hansbrough
“Tar Heel would always come through and just pound North State. But it was fun, and I think it's always going to be fun for everyone involved. You had the two leagues, and you always met up for the city championship, and then you were also separated in all-stars. It was really cool how they did it, but when you were playing a team from North State, you wanted to represent well for the Tar Heel League.”
Clayton McCullough
“[Coach John Bunting estimated one or two players lined up out of position on about half the Tar Heels' defensive snaps in Saturday's 69-14 loss.] They took advantage of a lot of mistakes we made on defense, ... They made some big plays, and obviously we made some turnovers, too.”
John Bunting
“There's a portion of the Tar River in the lower part of Pitt County that floods real bad with a large tidal surge and we used it to notify people that it was a possibility their area could flood.”
Noel Lee
“We practiced with the guys. But with their chemistry, (the Tar Heels) know when to trap. ... We weren't consistent with it. We would get great ball movement and open shots, but sometimes we'd be tentative and turn the ball over.”
Kindyll Dorsey
“The chemistry of dissatisfaction is as the chemistry of some marvelously potent tar. In it are the building stones of explosives, stimulants, poisons, opiates, perfumes and stenches.”
Eric Hoffer
“Don't spoil the ship for a ha'pworth of tar”
