Should be a battle? Look I'll admit crest surprised me with a ten point win over burns...but given the fact that burns was dominated by Shelby, and Crest was having to fight for everything against burns does not bode well for the power ponies...at all.
Backer, there you go stealing my thread titles. Crest's win was no surprise to me. Shelby vs Crest is a rivalry game and should be treated as such. Please spit some venom this week. Oh ai forgot one can't even raise their voice on these boards anymore. Soon this will be PC heaven with the sensative girly men pressing th report button.
The Lions have way too much offense and defense for the Chargers. Do not expect this one to be close.
Crest defense will keep game close. Shelby might win, but doubt they score more than 24 points. Crest should be able to score 2-3 times against Shelby. Should be another great atmosphere.
A well disciplined well coached fundamentally sound Crest team that even was not as talented as Shelby could win but games like next Fridays game playing Shelby are the games that exploit this short commings that Crest possesses!
Need a lot of things to go right for Crest to win. Turnovers by Shelby, only 80 yards in penalties for Crest and FBI finding Hillary emails on some Shelby players computers.
...listen power ponies, just take your 8-2 record save the fan bases 7 dollars and just start preparing on how your not going to lose in the first round of the playoffs.
Crest hasn't lost a first round playoff game in 23 years. As bad as it seems this year, they will not lose in first round this season
Plans are already in the works to post up a Crest informant on the Shelby sideline to relay play calls, snap counts, and strategies!
The trainer for Shelby has been paid in return for advanced injury reports, also we have a lunchroom lady that is a Crest grad that will be sliding laxatives into the Shelby players food on Friday!
Playing the lowlife cheaters at Burns have taught us alot about playing all the angles!

I'm hoping for exactly that. I think for Crest to win. It needs to be ugly and sloppy. We have to keep it from being a track meet. Low scoring defensive battle. Favors us.
I was at Burns vs Crest,
My take on game, Burns loosing Hill, then Burris hurt them making them one dimensional.
Crest at times showed to be really good team, only to fall apart.
I counted 4 facemask, couple personal fouls also 4 fumbles.
To beat Shelby they will need to clean up this before fri.
Shelby also has problems with flags, so hope it doesn't hurt rhythm of game.
I do belive it will be close hard fought game.
Shelby 20-10

No doubt Crest has playmakers. Just get them the ball very quickly. I said earlier if the offense would speed the game up they could cover up the weakness of the line play. Don't look for a blowout in this rivalry but Crest can't let it Shelby strike early.
I doubt Crest can run on this Shelby defense but the short passes could be there. Not enough time for deep stuff.
Shelby has the offense to do it all- run, short passes, and the long ball. Foster will have to have a big night to slow Shelby down. Slow down is the key word, not stop. The Lions are going to put up points but anything over 24 points and the Kittens purr all the way home. You're gonna see two premeire defensive players Friday night in Dax Hollifield and Justin Foster. Those guys can flat out play. Dax is a high motor warrior with nasty intent.

Key to crest keeping it close right here and there nothing else.............
KEEP THE SHELBY OFFENSE OFF THE FIELD!
Weather Crest scores or not theyou MUST have some long drives and shorten the game!
Anything other than that Crest get blown out its an up hill battle regardless!

I expect the first half to be played tight. If Crest offense can get some long drives they could hang in. If they have the penalties and 3 and outs like they've been having shelby will win big. The defense will wear out in the 2nd half from being on the field all game.
I will agree on that, i notice Crest had alot playing both ways,
Shelby really has no one, they 2 pontoon.
With the speed of the hurry up offense were running, how long before it starts wearing on them.
Guess we will see fri.
Why they play the game.

Never doubted Crest, their defense was always there, they just needed to tweak their offense some, primarily get more stability at quarterback. Plus, even with their so called worst teams, it's something about seeing that Black and Gold on the opposing side that really brings it out of that bunch. However, I think we are more of a complete team this season, equipped to end this dreadful losing streak that we are on to the Chargers.
You have proved you are a complete idiot for that last part. You read something and believe it with no proof. There is no proof because it didn't happen. I bet you vote for Hillary too. Ignorance at its best.
It's true you and i both know it the question is how many other games this year did this take place!
The measures some will take when they are over come with hate from being the county's whipping boy year after year!
Your entire football program is a joke, and always has been!
^^^^^^
your wife says the same about you, but lets keep personal opinions off the board for a while.
Well,Well,Well, we've heard from 2 of the 3 stooges . Bet the 3rd don;t show up. Burns always finds a way to embarrass the county.
Unless I've overlooked him, I haven't seen BBB, either. I was wanting to hear these guys input on Spygate/Drunkgate or whatever 2016. I have seen all these denials from random Burns posters, who don't frequent the board, one newbie, but something happened. Dude used to live on the board, in these forums, but is now missing in action, he quickly deleted his Facebook account, too.

Here are the facts, Shelby on paper is favored. However, the game still has to be played. What will the weather be like, what ref crew gets the game, which team makes the fewest mistakes etc.
One thing is for sure, when two rivals play a game like this, throw record books out the window, it's for anyone's taking.

Crest has a good D, but our offense will have no problem moving the ball on them. Some will call me delusional and say that I'm bias, because I have a son out there, but I seriously feel that our offense has progressed to being just as good as last year's offense, check the numbers. Last year's offense just had more flash, because of athletes, Camp and Wright, in addition to Borders. It wasn't a thing of beauty about the first 4 games, but our offense has since arrived and no one has stopped it.
Although Burns had success on our D, we are still better defensively than the previous championship teams, we have depth galore. Last season, we were "bend but don't break", we gave up a lot yardage and points, though. We simply out scored teams for the most part. In my honest humble opinion, we are a more complete team than we were the previous championship teams, the teams in this run of championships that we're on. If we stay healthy, focused, bring home that hardware, and run the table, my claims will be validated.

Athletes will equal each other out in this game, it will come down to who has the best people upfront.
Great point, but I really like our chances this year. The smartest thing that Crest did, in my opinion, was settle in more w/ Peeler at quarterback, due to his mobility.
Harbison was the difference maker the previous two seasons. He'd get stronger as the game progressed, and kill us in the 4th quarter.

DK anything about the situation other than the rumors that are flying on here. If he was in fact "texting" plays, then thats got nothing to do w the Burns coaching staff, n would be highly ineffective anyways. The way I see it, it doesn't represent our program and anybody that knows Devine and the rest of the coaches wouldn't think of such. Everyone on here saw how passionate the guy was when he posts and even wore rose colored glasses a bunch. I know the kid is likely going thru an embarrassing time right now, Im sure there are plenty of parents that have acted dumb at their childs sporting events in Burns and Crest histories.
So the play is called, pulls out phone, types away, data sent, text read, play relayed in. Not even possible in game time situation if anyone wanted. May have sent it to someone but it wasn't coaches because it wouldn't reach them in a time. Putting himself in that situation on the opposite sidelines is not excusable and certainly if he was inside the fence. I doubt Lawndale has 4G coverage. More like Morris code telegraph.
Completely agree! Last year if we were scored on, we knew we could score right back. Our defense was good but not as good as this year's. We knew we were going to put up points and just had to make sure we put up more than our opponents. This led to more points put up by any Shelby team in history by almost 100. We scored 733 points last season...second place goes to 2013 with 635. This year our defense is playing lights out. We don't necessarily have to put up as many points because our defense isn't giving up any. Our starting defense is giving up on average 2.7 points per game. In other words, theoretically, all we need is a field goal to win every game. They say defense wins championships....I like our chances. Definitely one of the best defenses in Shelby history if not the best and our offense is complimenting it perfectly.

If you say so. Only one team has given up fewer than 2.7 points per game. They were the very first Shelby team, only played two games, and happened over 100 years ago.
Don't know how you can say that. You have a case with that 86 team you mentioned, 98 (sorry, Champ, they were great, though), and especially 06 and 07 didn't have near the depth as this current team, we two platoon on the D line. This team has D linemen for days, the linebackers are much bigger, and this D is fast.
You get caught up in that "old head" mentality too much. This team, period, would air out, dominate some of the old teams you have mentioned as all time great teams. You can't run fullback dive or the buck sweep when you're already down to this team. You're not going to just lineup and run at this team, period, especially when you're already down to them.

Should be noted on that defense PPG that only 27 points have been given up through the first 3 quarters of every game for an average of 2.7 PPG for the first team Defense. Most points have been scored on 2nd team in the 4th quarter. (Not sure if any were scored in the first 3 of the RS game.)
Good points. Last year our special teams were horrendous in the Crest game and I would rather see us not kick to Crest and make them try and drive the field.
Lets maybe agree to this? Back in the 80's when everyone ran 3 yards and a cloud of dust the 86 D was probably the best . In the days of spread this 2016 D is probably the best , though giving up 280 yrds to Burns is still a concern for me. Its just hard to compare the teams since styles are so different now.
87 D was strong
98 D was strong
2007 D was strong
2014 D was strong after SP
