I was pretty young but remember it like it was yesterday. Both of those games were insane. Made the championship seem like nothing as far as competition. The team coming out of that west bracket was winning it all.
Burns (7-2) at Shelby (8-1) for the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A conference championship.

Man I was only 10 at the time but I remember that game and the near riot that ensued after it 😂.
Forest Hills had this like log or something that they used to carry out to their sideline (not sure if they still do that) but when Burns won that game in OT some of the players went over and took the log & it caused a riot 😂. I think I remember it so well because somehow I got separated from my dad (again I was 10) and then somebody thought somebody had a gun. It was crazy.
I remember that game but have never heard this story.
It happened out on the field. As soon as the game ended, a lot of Burns people jumped the fence that was around the field and rushed the field. Somehow, and I'm not exactly sure how, I ended up out there too. Honestly it probably wasn't as big of a deal as my 10 year old mind made it out to be. But I was out there somehow, lost my dad heard somebody say something about a gun (there wasn't actually one) & got scared. Then my best friend at the times dad grabbed me and got me back to my dad. I'm trying to find an article or something but there probably isn't one. I did find the Football Friday Night highlights of the game and at the end you can see the people running into the field. That's all I've found. Here's that video though.

We are first in line....for everything.
It finally makes sense....the Forest Hills connection. You've never gotten passed it.
Two times announcers have called facemask and no flag on Shelby but we’ve got one on us. Haha Messing with my emotions. I’m out of town.

Not scoring from the 2 yard line when you run it all the way down there is a huge blow.
Yes! And, Norris has looked good.
Hard to believe Mookie didnt get the call from the 2
The more the game goes the sicker I’m gonna be we didn’t punch it in from the 2.
The refs must think we are here to watch them. Let them play!
It’s driving me crazy listening, I cannot imagine in person.
and ANOTHER interception by Shelby..... Three turnovers already.... UGGHH
Said it earlier in week, Burns can match us athlete for athlete... Were in a dog fight (No pun intended lol)
We arent helping the defense who is playing well with all these turnovers though
