I wondered about not trying the FG at the end there, but I figured the coach was like , well they havent stopped our run game all night

Williams #24 for us grew up from a soph tonight.. it was like a switch flipped..... He made some great plays tonight especially the 4th quarter

Twas a fine high school game. Thought ER QB’s throw on 4th down when they were down by TD late in 4th was a BB. Receiver either catches it or it’s tattooed on his chest. Then they went for two and wasn’t quite as successful.
Oh he’s a junior too

Ok Shelby folk...you guys just got "Cecil Mocked" tonight with the officials. Lol That's the treatment teams playing ER have received for years. No seriously, look him up...CECIL MOCK! Cecil has been "involved" with the Eastern Randolph program in various roles for close to 50 years and has been Burton Cates' lackey over his entire career. In addition to his roles with ER, Cecil has been an official in various sports during that time period, climbing up the ranks all the way to supervisor of officials for the NCHSAA. Cecil is now an assistant principal at ER and although he is no longer the supervisor, he still officiates various sports and obviously holds great influence. Oh yeah and the president of the NCHSAA board of directors is none other than the Superintendents of Randolph County Schools Stephen Gainey. These refs aren't dumb they know
who

I will go conduct an investigation, and get to the bottom(or top) of this

Great win. You guys make sure to send nice Christmas cards to the ER coaching staff for not kicking the FG. In the end, the Shelby defense made the play they had to get the W.

If this isn't the time or place, when is?
For a self proclaimed educated entity, your lack, apparently, of social skills is quite amazing. If you read the entire post you would understand why. You, or one of your posters, often comment about the camaraderie that is ever present in sports and yet you make a statement like this.
Cmon you can tell me.
You were the guy who tried to hard at parties weren’t you?
😂

You are the same sir. My sentiments exactly towards you. Was hoping you were there so I could holler at you but it was dang cold for this old man as well. Sorry the referees seemed to get in the way of what turned out to be a great high school football game. I have a lot I could say about some of that but this is not the place or the time.
Good luck to the Shelby Golden Lions going forward. Also to Mr Lincolnton as well. Hopefully both teams come out healthy next week and it’s a great game on top of that.
SL you appear to be a good guy whose posts are both authentic and can be entertaining. Thank you for allowing me all those years ago to contribute to these here forums…

Okay.
We went back and read your entire post.
Clears up nothing.
So, fill us in.

And why are you such an ***?

This is for 2nd to no one and thetruedynasty Hey there, if this isn't the place or the time.......on another thread you never answered my question regarding "Since the years 2000 (25 years ago) how much has Shelby narrowed the gap in Championship totals with Reidsville"? You indicated that Shelby would soon surpass Reidsville's totals and there would be no doubt of who has the most storied team in the state. Answer that Mr FACTS. I also have some other questions or at least observations of your often quoted diatribe about Shelby V Reidsvillle. 23-19.........49-14 (FACTS) Jeopardy theme song please.

We read it?
Resistance is futile!
I’m an asterisk?
It’s very difficult to joke with the collective isn’t it?
The Borg has spoken!
😂😂😂😂

Obviously you have no information to share.
You just want to matter…which you don’t.

We met your junior QB last night and his father.
Good people and he is quite a talent.
We could meet again next year.
Congrats to a terrific ER squad.

Thanks for being dismissive. That’s the response I was expecting. Way to come through.
Yes I’ve known his daddy for a long time and remember when QB was born. Think he’s a fine young man. Good QB. Exceptional baseball player
And thank you for saying ER was a good opponent. Good luck to the Lions next week.

Shelby complaining about holding calls is funny! BC I sure seen alot not called few weeks ago. #99 for MA has whiplash he was held and perked around d so much go for the QB.
The Homer announcers make it seem lot worse. Lot of questionable calls going against Shelby when they made a stop. I know if MA got called for 20 penalties against 4 be some hell raising

The referees were NOT from Eastern Randolph…🤷‍♂😂
In the third and fourth rounds, referees are imported from outside both teams areas. Home team wasn’t happy with all the conferences after each play either. Wasn’t near every play but I was right beside the unsportsmanlike thrown on defensive back after ER 2 point conversion failed. Referee warned him three times to quit talking smack. He didn’t stop and finally threw flag. Know that wasn’t on any broadcast but I was twenty feet away and heard most of it. Not defending the rest of the calls but that one was justified.
Why does Shelby want/need an investigation? Which team won?
Asking for a friend….
🤷‍♂️

Game should had been at 21+ win for Shelby. Referees absolutely ruined the game. I counted 3 turnovers on downs that were overturned for some fantum call. All the calls resulted in TDS for ER. Great season ER. Not a bad team at all. Receivers and QB are ballers

Thanks for the team compliments. Think SL was more impressed with offensive line and two bruising running backs. As I stated the referees were interesting to both teams. Not sure why Shelby should have won by 21+ in your opinion but ok. And if ER punches the ball in the two times they were stopped on the goal line by Shelby in the last five minutes then the conversation about refs might be more valid. Shelby won the game. To quote a much more famous person than myself “You play to win the game”

I thought ER was stronger in several spots and evenly matched teams. On a warm night it may have benefitted Shelby with passing game. Weather may have came in to play for ER not kicking field goal. If I were Shelby fan feel lucky to get win and move on. Spend all week working on run defense.

Ok this, hopefully, will be my last post on this subject but I would be remiss if I didn’t address the subject.
Shelby High School penalties in games that starters actually played most of the game:
Eastern Randolph 17
Mt Airy 6
Lincolnton. 13
Burns. 14
Crest. 8
Kings Mountain. 12

Against Cherryville the Lions were assessed
13 penalties in a 62-0 game. Against Stuart W Cramer in a 50-29 win 18 penalties for 192 yards.
Those are the games I could find penalty results in box scores from Maxpreps. Not sure about the rest of schedule because only individual statistics were provided.
In 6 of the games there are double digit penalties with the most being in Stuart Cramer game.
Any one else see a pattern?
Not trying to take away from a great high school football game, which Friday night was that. Just tired of the referee angle a few are using.
Again Shelby won the game…
They have moved on to Cleveland…
Uh I mean Lincolnton…
😂😂😂

The problem is u giving out what calls been giving to Shelby but not other team.
In all those game both teams were with in 4 5 fouls apart.
Not a 20-4 and 3 of 4 calls were fall starts...
Give me a break..
Here's what went on alnight by 72 on our 10
And definitely the roughing passer was bogus

Shelby/ER 17 to 4
Shelby/Lincolnton 13-7
Shelby/Burns 14-9
Shelby/Kings Mountain 12-10
Shelby/Cherryville 13-6

Not quite all within 4 or 5. My point was that quite often Shelby commits penalties in double digits. Someone asked my opinion on ER discipline earlier in this thread and I commented that was what I liked about this team. Most of their games under 5 penalties per game. Sorry just the way they were.
As I have said countless times, it was a great high school football game.
Shelby won.
End of story.

It was, and why I haven't been saying much about refs until now...I too was on side lines
I also met Mock, and in all respect not real social guy, at least to us when team arrived....
Maybe not a big deal I just expected a nicer welcome....oh well!!

We had buses, but brought some of equipment like kicking net in my truck he seem to be more worried about someone trying to get in without paying..lol
And its 5.30 and we are all with team.
Then my associate ask if they were going use a Gator or something to help carry stuff to sideline and he pretty much flew off about it saying we didnt
request it...
But dang thats long way to carry stuff from busses...and we were then told we get help after game, but we knew that wasn't happening...it is what it is...good luck next year, maybe u get to visit Shelby
We will roll out red carpet for u...

Side note: least yall did have a locker room for us, Lincolton didnt 1st time and hear they dont again...
