Nope! Y’all had no choice but to take him in. He’s talked more about y’all than y’all have. He became too much of a “ridah”. He aborted SWO ever since y’all beat the brakes of them in the spring. He’s an honorary Ram now.
Just calling like I see it champ, no favorites here my guy.
Everybody gets mad at the pass interference call when they see that the ball couldn't have been caught. The problem with the anger is that the rules in high school are different than college and pro on many pass play penalties.
There is no such thing as Uncatchable Ball in the high school rulebook. If there is contact on a receiver and the ball is thrown in that direction, it is pass interference.
Also, there is no rule allowing the QB to throw the ball out of bounds beyond the LOS to avoid a sack. If there is no receiver in the area, it is Intentional Grounding.
These rule probably need to change, but they have not yet changed.
There were plenty of bad call by officials last night benefitting both sides, but the PI called on Burns and the one called on Shelby were not missed calls. They are just old fashioned rules. There were a number of times that intentional grounding could have been called, but weren't.

Where was he bouncing to sf1? Lol only place I seen him bounce was on down the sidelines for a touchdown. But didn’t think he was going out of bounds. Refs were just too whistle happy on everything other than those holds.
Uncatchable ball rule does not apply in high school. If the ball is in the air and contact occurs PI can be called.
Honestly, it's probably best it stays that way too. That takes the opinion out of the equation. High school refs already struggle and get bashed a lot. Imagine throwing catchable or uncatchable into it.
It’s playoff time so this is my last opinion. I know Shelby is better than they played. I gave them credit all week and knew they are a damn good team. Shelby’s QB had no ints going in and that alone is impressive for any kid, especially a junior! A lot of Shelby fans said they would blow our ass off the field and it didn’t happen. We were better than those people thought. We forced some mistakes and Shelby made some
mistakes which we knew they had to do. We ran the ball better than most thought we would. First drive was more than anyone thought we could do already. Second half we didn’t try the run as much so who knows. Maybe the Shelby D shuts it down or maybe it goes in our favor. Shelby’s D played great 2nd half. Burns had multiple chances to get ahead and didn’t do it. You have to turn turnovers into points. We had our chances, it didn’t happen. Learn from it and use it for playoffs. End of story.

Yes it's time for playoffs, we both played hard, we both made mistakes. Was great game to watch, not blow out, maybe we meet again, but now focus one game at a time
If we see y’all again we have went thru hell to get there.
I totally agree, Refs in general this year have tried way to hard to interject themselves into games and it really takes away from the game. It's like they sometimes just blow their whistle or throw a flag just because I'm a Ref and I can.
Is there anything more fun than Cleveland County High School football?
No sir. I dumped the NFL few years back and find college ball boring unless I'm watching in person with a cold one. Friday nights are the best.
Hands down best time of the year for me. It always seems to go by so fast though.
Y’all got 2 players from Crest that felt they needed a bigger role so they transferred to Burns.. it happens it’s Cleveland County it happens!!!
Jakari’s dad is on the staff at Burns now so that might have had something to do with it too.
He was D Line Coach last year at Crest. He was upset Jakari wasn’t moved up to varsity last season.. he is not new to being on a Coaching staff as he had been at Crest for 4 years.
I normally don’t do this I just read all the different post and laugh, but since you all mentioned me and my sons name I felt compelled to reply.. First off if you don’t know me or my family personally don’t mention our name on any website talking about why we did something, if you didn’t hear it from the bulldogs mouth don’t comment. If you want to know something apparently you know me so therefore you know how to find me and I will answer any questions you might have but I promise, you won’t like the answer
Shots fired. Been warning these clowns watch their mouth, but no one listens lol
My apologies….you do know me personally, it’s Nelson, but I shouldn’t have mentioned his name and should’ve stayed out of it.
I’m tired of all the talk on this thread. The game is over. In the end, I love my high school, I love my community. I wouldn’t be anything other than a Bulldog. I’m proud of or program. I’m proud of our tradition and like I was taught in 9th grade at Burns- the cheerleaders taught us the school song and a cheer which ended with… I’ll be a Bulldog til the day I die. My love for Burns is not based on winning percentages. Programs who have the luxury of lavishing in never ending success do not understand. I can try to explain to you but I can’t understand it for you. We will beat Shelby again. It ain’t the end of the world. In fact, when we have beaten Shelby several years in a row before I’ve thought- what if beating Shelby loses it importance? Things simply would not be the same if we didn’t have the yearly expectation of beating Shelby. We will beat them again. We have beat a good Crust team 2 out of the last 3 years. That is a great feat in and of itself. No other county in NC has such HS football completion.
Hell I agreed he should’ve been moved up I could never understand why he wasn’t.
