He proved the hypocrisy over there. One kid earbuds ( if true). Out! One kid blatantly tried to hurt one of our kids. Nothing.

Daddy ball!!!!

Our #4 is really in y’all’s head. Obsessed.

We already said it wasn’t right and deserved appropriate action.
What else do you need to hear on the matter?

One of us was slugged by Spikes after our extra point. Blatant on the film. No action. Spikes goes on to famously poke eyeballs in college. He may have changed, but was a dirty player. That’s what he is remembered nationally for…poking eyeballs on the bottom of a pile.
And where did he learn football?
Crest High School.
And you want to lecture us on players intentionally trying to hurt players.
Your most famous player is nationally remembered for doing just that haha.
There are more. How far back you want to go, clownrulz?

2. Chopper tried to take a dig at me, which was decent, no one responded and he got his feelings hurt, yall be sure to tell him he "GOT"ole Shelby Lion.. Ill admit pappy, for the first time since you been here you actually got one right... Well done

3. MOST IMPORTANT: A bunch of grown OLD FARTS who love to point out mistakes KIDS make, like they didn't do probably a thousand times worse when they were young.... Ive seen most of yall some of you are lucky you aint in prison HA HA HA

Im im done yall carry on the pissing contest, Im about to go blast folks on Call of Duty LOL (Im a child at heart , shoot me)

Here you go Doc. Tell Brandon man to man. Be careful. He’ll poke your eye out. You talking to a 2 time State Champion. An NCAA champion and a superbowl champion.

I can assure you that none of us over here care what you think. We’re better than Shelby. That’s just how it is

Wait a minute.
You were talking about how bad it was for a player to try and intentionally hurt other players.
Then we use the Spikes example and you completely change your tune.
Which is it clownrulz?
You are such fun to expose.

And once again, how are you better than Shelby?
What have you accomplished more than us?

Expose:... LOL... I told you I couldn't care less. I couldn't.

Anything Spikes did he was in the game to do. #4 wasn't playing and hit our kid anyway. There is a difference. If you can't understand that then that ND diploma should hit the trashcan. Nothing happened to the kid because of daddy ball We know it and you do too.

We're better than Shelby because the scoreboard has said so for five years. Shelby hasn't beaten Crest since 2021.. It's 2026 Doc Brown

Go ahead and bloviate all you'd like about 40 years ago. Today Crest > Shelby..........

You like stats. Here is one for you to choke on..

Over the last 20+ years, Crest has wrestled away control of the rivalry, going 13-8 against Shelby since 2004.... We're Crest.................... We're Better!!!!

Have a good day and good luck against Highland Tech. Could one of the 4 people that will be there keep us updated on the score?

Hope he does have full return and no need in risking anything against HT. Just skip having a QB and direct snap it to the RB and you will still win 58-0.

I remember vividly how you were bragging about his "aggressive" play that on the old forum saying how tough and gritty CC players were.. Now you're weaponizing the same behavior against your CC neighbor/frenemy?

I have no dog in this cat and pony fight, but it's funny to me.

Sound like Shelby Lion, ya'll related or been hanging out too much.

On a side note I saw that Crest drastically leaped frog Shelby in academics over the years, as Shelby tumbled into special ed status. That's impressive.

Looking forward to see what the ponies do with the dry offense and focused defense this season.

We still have the series lead, and most of that time, Crest was a bigger school in a higher classification.

You never acknowledge that and it should concern you we force even close competition and scores.

The Crest vs Shelby game means far less to us than it does to you.
Who has more State Titles in your last 20 years you quote?
Not even close.
We are about bigger things.

Crest has 50% more students to draw players from and are currently in 5A to Shelby at 3A.
Weddington has more students to pull from and sits 2 classes higher than Crest at 7A.
They destroyed you last year, and Crest won the 5A State Title.

Classifications exist for a reason.

3A Champion Shelby played you to within 7 points last year and just took you to overtime.
Let’s see how you do this year vs Weddington.
And remember it is the same inequality as Shelby vs Crest.
Shelby is just better in playing up. Always has been. Makes us better.
Other than KM, Crest rarely plays up.

Playing down in classes and winning the county championship matters more to you and makes your season, most of the time. Good for you.

The True Dynasty was built on the ultimate goal, State Championships. Rings.

20 to 7.
Crest will never catch Shelby in our lifetime.

LOL... I hear you. Playing up.. LOL.... Talk to Gaffney Sir. Shelby would NEVER schedule them again and definitely not on tv. Beat them so bad they cancelled on us.

Series lead is gone boss. We see your jv and middle school. Nothing in the pipeline.

Our game doesn't mean as much to you because Shelby can't beat us. It'll mean more to you later on hopefully. You're 2nd fiddle. If KM could get over their stupidness you'd be third fiddle.

All this is true. Classifications matter a lot.
The biggest question mark in the state of NC in the last 50 years has been Shelby's existence in the classes they remain in. I know WHY they work on the down low to keep it there. Shelby sees itself as a little old hometown team...but yall are no 'Maiden' or 'Cherryville'. In 70s/80s Shelby was 2 & 3 times the population size of Belmont. We played in the same conference. The late 90s/early 2000s Shelby drops DOWN to 2a......and yall had more population THEN than Belmont does RIGHT NOW!!!!!
So now yall have found a way to stay in 3a.....the lower side of old 2a class. SMH. I respect Shelby for a lot of reasons.....but this is the one part that I know is fraught with dirty dealings and politics and I will never respect it.

The problem with it is this. They think we don't know. If they played up like Burns and got in a real conference. They'd be done. They're not winning 4a.......... or 5a..........

Now you guys are making stuff up.
Please provide any evidence of what you are stating as truth. There is none.
We are classified based on ADM like everyone else.
We have hated our last two conferences. They are weak. We don’t like it.
It was the Rutherford County schools that asked not to play Cleveland County.
We would love a more challenging conference, as we had until recent years.
But the Association is not going to let us make that choice.
Reidsville, with slightly more than Shelby, was 3A through the initial changes last time, and then got bumped into 4A at the end. We felt that was to avoid Shelby, but we have no proof.
City of Shelby has students that go to all four high schools, for various reasons. The school lines don’t match up with city limits.
Teachers kids often go where the parent teaches, etc.
There has been no efforts to keep Shelby High small. It just worked out that way.
We would prefer to play in higher classifications. But that still would not provide us with more players to choose from. That’s the ADM, whether any of us like it or not.
We have played much bigger schools for decades. Charlotte schools. Freedom was the largest in the state at one time. Recent state champ Watauga had a series with us.
As far as Gaffney, we played and defeated them in a year they one the SC State Title in the highest classification. And we had a mostly competitive 4 game series with them in the 90s.
Shelby has absolutely nothing to prove in taking on competition.
What any fair minded football fan should see is Shelby’s unmatched success in NC high school football, regardless of ADM or classification. Lots of work by lots of people.
Time to quote Vince Lombardi again.
You remember him, correct?
Super Bowl trophy.

“ The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have. “

Shelby High Football has done more with its program than any other in NC.
