We defeated you constantly when you were in our classification.
We defeated you at 2A size when you were defending 4A Champions, the highest classification….twice.
You never won a Title when you were in our classification size. You wouldn’t now.
You crow about barely defeating us and you pick from 50% more players in this talent rich county.
You would have no Cleveland County football recognition if not for Shelby’s proven, historic sustained success.
And you have admitted it.
7A and 8A laugh at you, so you think you can dump on us.
Go beat top 7A and 8A teams as a lower classification
We did.
The Shelby Golden Lions are the proven most successful, sustained, winningest high school football program in North Carolina history.
We surpassed only having Cleveland County success a long time ago.
It took Crest gaining substantial student population to compete statewide.
Shelby football can’t control that.
But we don’t hide from it and pretend it is not a factor, as you do. Then pretend as you do to own lower classifications.
Do you have any idea how many current or lower classification programs Shelby has lost to since Crest’s birth in 1968?
The percentage would boggle your mind.
But we care nothing about that.
Just Championships.
So should you.
But you are so jealous of Shelby and what we have, that Crest never will, even since 1968.
