    Monroe @ Shelby

    The silent MVP for Monroe has to be the O-Line. Shelby's front 7 has been playing lights-out for 8 weeks and the only time they sniffed getting a hand on Chambers was on the second 2-pt conversion attempt. The QB and RBs had gaping holes all night for long runs. I was really impressed with how...

    Monroe @ Shelby

    Here's my take: Monroe is a big-time, big-play team. Shelby has to make them put drives together and not hit the big play, and must force some turnovers. In 3 playoff games: Rushing: QB - (1) Chambers - 15 rushes, 255 yards, 5 TDs RB - (4) Lindsey - 18 rushes, 226 yards, 5 TDs RB - (3) Kendall...

    Monroe @ Shelby

    Monroe will be the favorites on the road. I'm sure Simmons will have them a double-digit favorite based on current power rankings. Shelby will have to play a complete game to win; meaning win the turnover battle and keep the penalties to a minimum. I expect a really great Monroe effort and...

    Shelby vs Community School of Davidson

    CSD has some really good athletes and there is a reason they are in Round 3 of the playoffs. #5 is their superstar and one of the better players in all of 2A Freshman season: Rushing: 13 - 47, 1 TD Receiving: 21 - 286, 2 TDs Sophomore season: Rushing: 13 - 87, 0 TD Receiving: 99 - 1,174, 16...

    AC @ Shelby

    AC Reynolds has won two straight over Shelby, 28-21 last year and 45-21 in 2022. Shelby's last win was 15-12 in 2021. No doubt that both teams have phenomenal RBs in Max Guest for ACR and Tristan Tate for Shelby. Guest had 1,746 yards and 25 TDs rushing, plus 22 catches for 376 yards and 4 TDs...

    Way too early look at 2024

    I can't see any 2A teams beating Reidsville if all of the underclassmen return. I'm sure that the Harrison kid will get a lot of looks from the IMG-type schools. My Golden Lions should be pretty competitive, but hard to replace WR Bridges' production, WR/LB Hollifield's intangibles, DB...

    Forest Hills (12-1) @ Shelby (10-3) 4th Round

    Typically pretenders don't make it to Round 4, no matter how lucky the draw turns out to be. . Should all be competitive games going forward

    Forest Hills (12-1) @ Shelby (10-3) 4th Round
