Congrats to King Mountain. Y'all just completely over matched us. Heck of acRB you guys have. Burns has gotta do some tackling drills and just in my opinion give Case more snaps. But we'll regroup and be ready for East Gaston next week. Good luck KM the rest of the way

They made the play when it counted... Brock with an excellent catch

As far as the hand shake, after leaving the field and giving the fans a few minutes to clear it, Shelby came back out to congratulate those daggum infidels...

Like the announcers said, this is one of those games you hate to see anyone lose, those kids on both sides left everything on that field...

On to the rest of the season...... best of luck rest of the way cha'gas

Great night overall

My daughters volleyball team beat the previously undefeated and pre-season nationally ranked #6 Sandhills Community 3 sets to 1
then swept some team from Guilford. I didnt get home to right at kickoff and listened to an instant class between Shelby and Crest

Congrats again Charger fans, once again the bragging rights go over to Boiling Springs.....

Watch out 3A were coming

What a battle !!
This game never disappoints , find me another game that comes close to this.
Crest stayed the course battled and came out on top
What a game , just a slugfest
Old school rivalry was what this was.
Congrats to Crest , Shelby will win 3A , that will be the best defense Crest sees, man they were good defensively.
Lot of sore kids tomorrow
Charger Freakin Magic strikes again.
Raper came in and changed the dynamic of the game IMO
Scott is going to be special at Shelby , good luck rest of season
Enjoy your bye week coming this week

My take on game..
Both offenses. Need work still both O-lines need work. And the rest is a work in progress.

Both D are as good as advertised, that alone will help alot till offenses.get up to par.
Crest has a advantage in Kicking game..
Both teams played there azz off ..

We will be the judge of that.

Okay rulz, so here will be your first chance to prove your 💯 honor that you claimed in this thread.

But first, congrats on the hard fought win.
It was an instant classic, as SL stated, in our storied series. One of the best, from a fan’s perspective.

Enjoy your 5 straight. But it is not unique in this series.

But football purests saw that Shelby outplayed Crest everywhere but on the scoreboard. And in limiting mistakes.
It’s all part of the game, so no excuses here. In many ways we beat ourselves. We have to clean that up, and we will.

That is one of the reasons why we play you and KM. Great higher classification competition exposes your strengths and weaknesses.
But we have bigger fish to fry, and we never confuse a loss to a county rival to our focus on the primary pursuit of another State Championship.
Of course we want to defeat you, play as hard as we did tonight. But win or lose, we will not put that score inside a Championship ring.

Again, congratulations. Go win States again.

So now about honor.

We want your take on the incident where your QB, visible to all, gave the finger to the Shelby fans on his run to the Shelby sideline.
The play was to leave you with a third and long, but his act drew an unsportsmanlike penalty for 15 more yards.
And this was at a critical point in the third quarter. The third down failed and forced a punt.
We noted as he went the sidelines, head coach confronted him and the discussion moved to the tent.
But the QB was back playing on the next series.

Our opinion?
There is not a head coach in all of Shelby’s football history that would have permitted a Shelby QB that did such a no class act to return to the field.
I am confident other Shelby texters here will confirm that.

So tell us rulz. And think about this before you fire off some stupid remark that ducks the serious question or references “ stern warnings”. This is different. Public. In front of the whole stadium. Representing the school, the program, the culture.

What was the honorable thing to do?

Get out of here with that garbage. Willhanks sure didn’t stop anyone after the sideline shenanigans that entitled kid pulled last year. Shall we post some clips of that?!?! You know the one, that a certain player wasn’t involved in the play or on the field but made himself involved?

I’m not in favor of what our QB did, if that’s truly what he did. We can go back and forth about this kind of stuff for years and I don’t think any of us will be too happy. Get over yourself, take your L and get ready for your big fish. Aka Highland Tech……

Y’all are 2nd to us….again. Call us daddy one time. Or while you are doing it maybe 6 times cause you ain’t winning next year either. Clown.

Call us daddy. Say it with me DADA, DADA, DADA, DADA, DADA…DADA?

Love man man , tough as nails and goes all out every play. Great kid off the field as well.
Congratulations on the win Sausages. I don’t run from my prediction. I picked Shelby and you asked me why and I was wrong. You guys gutted it out tonight and that is what championship programs do. I still think Shelby is a load and may not lose again this year, however tonight you guys found a way to get it done.

Geez, 344 yards with all of those negatives is rather impressive especially against crest. Shelby cleans it up will be nasty
