I'm with ya. I was saying all week to people I felt like Shelby was probably a 2 or 3 TD favorite. I definitely didn't expect Burns to hold them to 16. Burns forced some turnovers and played extremely well. I think Burns proved a few people wrong tonight, myself included.
You're killing me!and i see toupees, false teeth and rest home in your future paw paw
That EG game woke those kids up. It was the best thing that could have happened.
Hes currently housed at Cleveland Pines up off N Lafayette St.. He can only pick up KTC radio stations .... He has no idea about Forest Hills... Or Pasquotank
Very well could. But 1 game at a time. I'd love to see it if it happens though
I think the 2019 Burns team was probably a bit better than this year's team is right now but they aren't too far off. However I agree with the play calling. It's not been great for sure.
That and Shelby basically had the ball all but like 4 minutes of the 2nd half.
Shelby's D did play better the 2nd half, however, did they really have too! The Burns OC didn't mind not giving it to our most explosive player! We will just throw the ball 2 yards or less from the line of scrimmage or run a little TE screen that even if it was open would never get more than 3 yards with the speed Shelby has out there!
98 of it was your first play. Our defense gave your offense hell. We ran the ball much better than anyone ever thought we could but abandoned it in the second half. Nobody gave us a chance in hell to even stay within two tds but nobody thought our defense would play like that either.
Minus that 1st play for Shelby, the 98 yard TD run, I felt like Burns for the most part kept Shelby's run game in check atleast as far as giving up the big play. But Shelby was consistently getting 4-6 yards a play on the ground. You can't do that and win. I don't know but it seemed like Shelby probably had the ball for atleast 35 minutes or so of the 48 in the game.
I don't necessarily think we gave up on the run. I felt like it was more of the situation dictating the calls. I seriously doubt Burns had the ball for more than 5 or 6 mins total in the 2nd half. Shelby scored to open the half and made it a 2 score game. Can't really run it much in that situation with so few plays.
He hasn’t done it all year because we also play in a shit conference. Burns forced those Ints. Burns blocked the field goal. We forced mistakes. Nobody saw it coming .
We intercepted the ball and had it on Shelby 37 yard line. Passed it 3 straight plays and then couldn’t decide what to do on 4th. Didn’t make a call, center snapped it to avoid delay and Ben wasn’t looking. Big loss and turnover on downs.
Yea I get it. And I mean had Burns had a possession in the 2nd half in a one score game, I think you stick with that. But when you need 2 scores & Shelby had been completely controlling the clock, you gotta play to the situation. Just my opinion.
That 4th down was really really bad and was 100% on the coaches. I was screaming timeout with 10 seconds left in the play clock on that one. That was just bad from the start
No. Shelby is as good as advertised. But Burns is better than a lot of us thought.
Can they please make this a pin post and place in on the door of the field house!
It’s no disrespect to Shelby but nothing they did tonight impressed me...deer in headlights. But...they WON and that’s what matters.
I just think Shelby had a really bad game. It happens. It happened to Burns 2 weeks ago against East Gaston. The overall body of work tells me Shelby is that good. Remember they did win the County, and that's saying something, and their only loss came to an absolute SC powerhouse. And I think Burns proved tonight they are better than maybe a lot of us thought.
We’ve yet to see how good we can be and I’ll leave it at that.
