what's the penalty count in this game? Has Shelby magically become a structured, fundamentally sound, low penalty team?
I think we had maybe 5 or 6 they had maybe 7-8 clean hard fought defensive game

EDIT:

Penalties

Shelby: 6- 50 yards
Lincolnton: 9 for 75 yard

Oh yeah you were wrong.. the end

Congrats to the Golden Lions. Good team in every way, as usual. Tip of the hat and impressed with sophomore quarterback C. Scott, and K. Hunt on defense. Enjoy the win guys, hopefully we can do it again, this year. Both have tough game coming up, Shelby and Burns in 3 weeks, and Cramer at Lincolnton next Friday.

Should any of our team or staff stop by this site, great effort against a good team. Thanks for all you do. Time to get ready for next week. Your people are proud of you.

I was incredibly impressed with Shelby's defense though, they kept a really explosive offense in check all night.... Ofcourse the same can be said for Lincolnton's defense too... Was a great ballgame.. Not looking forward to seeing that Shelby defense in a few weeks...

Oh and did anyone else notice that Max Davis was escorting one of the Shelby homecoming lady's?

Same to you. Absolutely a great defensive game. Hats off to the Lincolnton team and their coaches for a great game plan. Good luck the rest of the way.

That was a war last night
It sure was, both teams fought for every single yard... There wasnt a lot of jawing, not a lot of penalties , just a war on all levels... we were fortunate to come out of that game with the win... Those wolves are a handful and then some....

If the stars align they will face each other again, and I can only imagine a continuation of last night...Good luck to those Wolves the rest of the way , that Cramer game will be another doozy

Glad yall had a good game from a team not located in that county yall keep crowing about…
Just wish some other team could give your teenagers a game every now and then. Well maybe one day it’ll happen…

I wasn’t wrong. I have been wrong plenty in life. But what I said would happen is what had to happen in order for Shelby to win.
Lincolnton had nearly as much penalty yardage as Shelby had total offensive yardage. And as always in football….the most key penalties are the ones that take points off the board , put first downs on or off the board or create huge yardage differences that later dictate decision making for philosophy and X and Os.

I was at the game it was a pretty equally called game. Lincolnton had a few penalities left on the field that the officials did not call. As for the touchdown called back the flag was Thrown well before the pass left the quarterbacks hand. Total yardage was pretty much equal for both teams. It was a hard fought game between good teams and we would not be making excuses if we would have lost. See you in Shelby in a few weeks and we can do it all over again.

Both teams have some size too! Both teams just get to the football so fast! The collective team speed is insane!

and both schools are 3A and can match anyone size and speed 6A below. Both schools are around
750-800 enrollment range as well.

I think we are 100%.

We get No. 4 Adams back the WL game. Adams didn’t play against Shelby. 2-4 weeks. Most likely the playoffs is what the coaches expect.
That’s good news, especially about D. Adams. Thanks for the information. Should you hear any further about injuries please share it. Hopefully we give Cramer a better game this year.

I’m sure you guys will be ready, and we are expecting a very tough ballgame. Our 2 losses vs Shelby and Burns were very tough ballgames and I know your losses to the same two teams were very tough ballgames as well. Can’t simulate the speed you guys bring. You guys are so explosive. I really enjoy watching you guys play a lot more when your not playing us 😂😂

Tell No. 3, No.4, No.22 to take Friday off and rest for the playoffs.
They can take veteran week off of football

I know we are always talking about our young players and future (I love hearing about the young guys and watching them develop). I will brag on #3 for a minute. He is a Sophmore but has an extremely late birthday. He is barely 15. Him and our QB are two really good sophomores who don’t get as much pub as some of the other young players in our area have gotten. Our team has 24 seniors and several of them get most of the love, but we have a few young guys who are big contributors and #3 is definitely one of them.

Thank you my friend. As for us, we know Cramer is big, tough, talented and mean (In a football way). I enjoy these games so much more than easy ones. Any of the restaurants uptown are good locations for food or a beer, and the burgers and hotdogs at the stadium are good, too.

Couple of things, *The visitors stands are concrete so you might want to bring a cushion, but they're deep enough so that you can sit back and stretch some. *Don't sit on the first couple rows, you can't see over the players on the line. Unlike Cramer it isn't a new stadium, but it's not bad.

*If you want to walk over onto the Lincolnton side just to look around, keep in mind, the law enforcement closes the track off at halftime, but our announcer lets everyone know before this happens.

*For going to the visitors' side it's best to park in the lower level (Down in the bottoms). There's ample parking on the practice field (bottoms).

*Also, I get disgusted saying this: Friday's high is in the 80's but cooler weather is supposed to move in. The game should be over before it gets chilly (Low Saturday morning in the mid 40's), but sometimes after the sun goes down it feels uncomfortable. This is one of the things we catch the devil about. You probably won't need a jacket but if you get cold easily it might help to bring one.

Hope you can make it up. I know the Cramer nation is excited about their fine football program.

Thank you so much for all of that. Appreciate the kind words and directions about your facilities. Lincolnton fans have always been great when we have come up there for basketball a few times last year. I look forward to seeing a football game there for the first time in many years. You are 100% right, these type of games are exciting for the players, coaches, parents, and fans. Looking forward to Friday and getting to see all that talent you guys have.

You cant go wrong with Court Street Grille and or BBQ King and the regular eating joints all close to school

Also BRING a COAT... I dont care if it is 90 degrees Friday, they turn that creek water behind the vistors stands down to iceberg and you will freeze to death.... I came over with Maiden Creek once a couple years ago, and had to leave at half cause I was so cold, missed an amazing second half

Top row corner, nearest the scoreboard, thats my spot, feel free to use... its a great place to catch a game and you can look directly across the field at the home back row and catch Mr Lincolnton pacing back and forth.... a finer person you will never meet, so do yourself a favor and go speak to him..Tell him to tell you the story of his pet roach, its a good ern :)

You gents have fun, it should be a great one

Thank you my friend. Grateful for the kind words, and the same goes for you as well…That’s good advice about the top corner and the eatery’s.

Strange you mentioned my roach. It was named after a cousin of mine who grew up in Belmont (Cramerton being just next door) and went to Belmont High School. She was a little skinny woman, always kind and friendly, and lived to be 92.
That bug taught me some of God’s most undesirable and lowliest creatures are able to think. Course, there are those who might say the same thing about me.

I’d better quit talking about the roach. Last time I did, had heard the site was considering a lifetime ban. :)

That’s a great story and I am actually a Belmont guy (3 generations). My Dad was in the last graduating class from Belmont HS before it became SP. He is also the one that took me to BBQ King for the first time.

The last time I have watched a football game at Lincolnton was SP/Lincolnton in 96 when Lincolnton was absolutely loaded. I also remember driving up there my senior year in 94 and watching Charles Briggs dunk all over SP in basketball. Lincolnton had quite a great run of athletes those 3-5 years.

Thank you for sharing that with me. My aunt lived in Belmont. When my Mother would visit her we would go to a place called Stow (maybe Stowe) park. That was a long time ago.
