He did OK. I know it's game 1 but we've got to throw it better. Several sophomores made big plays tonight. Excited about the future.

Great win! Looked like a vintage Shelby team, athletic in the skill positions, some dogs on defense. Norris and Johnson were mean out there, defensively. Tate is just a good back, period, and I heard the buzz in the preseason around Thompson and Collins at receivers, but that Tyler Morgan kid, 6’4 sophomore receiver, is going to be a problem.
Good luck to KM going forward. I think once the quarterbacks progress and settle in, the Mountaineers will be a good team.

Congrats to Shelby. Shelby was the better team. If KM doesn’t find a QB it is going to be a long year. After last nights JV game it might be best to bring up the Freshman and take our slumps.
I wasn't sure what to expect tonight with Burns but I left feeling better about the year than I did. Like I said we're really young, quite a few sophomores that have the potential to be really good. We'll have some growing pains this year, especially the next 2 weeks, but we'll be fine.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen that many sophomores not only starting but contributing big time. Max Davis had a big night on both sides of the ball. Passing game was non existent but I didn’t expect us to throw it around all night either. We’re still building it up on offense but we will be fine. Tough two weeks ahead. Crest will be a handful and KM will be as well regardless of that Shelby game tonight.
A couple of observations on the night
KM is huge and fast.... 11 is a game changer... I mean EVERYWHERE
Once they settle on a QB they will be ok, I wondered why the smaller quicker back didnt get many touches....
When 7 came into the game he brought a little more life to the offense
I knew Shelbys defense was fast, but I didnt expect the pressure they were able to get on the KM backfield all night against those giant OL... Both defenses were absolutely flying to the ball
Our linebacker play I thought was very good tonight but we had a couple lapses in the defensvie backfield
The Shelby offense has playmakers all over the field, very deep at receeiver and the change of pace at RB after the half bringing in the bruiser tate was a good move before bringing tate back... 0(tate) is dangerous running and receiving...
It was a good ball game some miscues on both sides and aoms missed opportunties on both sides as well... Great test for both teams right out of the gate
ACR will be another huge test for us next week.....

he's been doing that since 2nd grade...
Max is a gamer, he is just an athlete on both sides, OC needs to find more ways to get him the ball on offense, he needs a good bit of touches a game also, when he breaks free, he can absolutely fly too....
Km big up front on both sides, there coaches came out with good game plan to try pound the rock..
But they be moving ball, then start trying to throw ball,which arent very good at.
Km defense will keep them in alot of games this year...
Shelbys defense going be really good, i worry about the backend of the D but the front and LB play is solid..
Shelbys has tons of speed and they wore Km down with it..
What can u say bout O. Tate. He is a pure stud...128 yards running it tonight..
Shelby had cliose to 400 yrds tonight

This KM team will be playing its best ball in October. I thought we would wear Shelby down but the opposite happened lol. We have multiple new starters who are learning by fire especially playing someone like Shelby this early in the season. We also lack depth at this time. We can only get better. This is the year to get us and Shelby got us. The Golden Lions are going to be a tough out all year for everyone.
I believe the 4 wide receivers that started are all sophomores. Also another sophomore Landon Hollifield played really good at the middle linebacker spot. I will say KM will be very scary as they get some things figured out.
Felt like old school Shelby football last night and I’m talking bout 90’s old school. That defense is a problem
Close - 3 Sophomores (#2, #18, #19) and 1 Senior (#1).
#0 Tate was the KTC Broadcasting Cleveland County Player of the Week. 127 yards rushing and 2 TDs, plus 63 yards receiving for 190 total yards.
GOOD WIN for THE MIGHTY GOLDEN LIONS do you THINK #8 would Consider TRANSFERRING to the YOUNG MOUNTIES.
Losing county games sucks. The morning after is the double tap of sucky…
Km has a fine football team, once they get things together they will be hell
Hollifeld parents were busy the last 25 years. Jeez.
He is the future but he is not ready yet. He needs a year and the weight room to add size and muscle. The arm talent, intelligence, competitiveness is definitely there. We have an OC issue more than a QB issue from what I see. OC has to coach to his personnel and not to his playbook.
Last night Wilbanks out coached ol SC State Champion Toupe Strait
Made adjustments at half and had KM gassed by fourth qtr , great coaching by Wilbanks.
As I can see this cat at KM will be gone at end of year
Same issues KM had at the end of last year , good defense , can’t stop the run and do not have a qb.
7 to me was the better qb last night

Boys, this aint got a thing to do with football but I dont give a poo...
Shelby Lion has internet I mean I am actually watching the creek game and doing other things at once.... The Ankle area has arrived
Well let me splain: Spectrum fiber is coming and it recently became available on my road, albeit a half mile up the road and north, not available here yet.... They say november now.... Wife works from home and I have a First net account that used to work great here but the last couple months we may get 10mbs downoad and not even 1 up...I couldnt wait tilll november so I went up to best buy yesterday and bought me a starlink system... Its basically laying on the roof until the mount arrives but my first speed test was over 350 mbs which is faster than anything ever available where I live.... This will do until 1gig fiber is finally turned on here...
Man this is nice to actually click a game and it immediately begins playing and I dont have to watch it in 360 or 480 resolution...
Ok the end, sorry but Im excited...

Simple men we are SL , don’t nothing fancy to be happy
I was so overjoyed reading your post. Almost giddy
Agreed. Same as last year, KM should be a power run team this year. Run and keep the defense fresh and with the kickers(great job) they have, you have a better chance at winning.
I said the same thing last season. Heck even the season before when KM went 13-1. Had they ran an option run attack with an athlete at QB to go along with the big offensive linemen they always have and the defense to compliment it. They could’ve won a ring in all seriousness. The offense just did them no favors giving the ball away or having quick empty possessions. You can’t force the spread offense if the personnel doesn’t fit.
The initial plan for the season was to run a RPO split back gun offense with some option mixed in. One of the key pieces to the split back look transferred so the OC went back to this. The qb for us #14 is very athletic but our OC is making him play from the pocket instead of allowing him to use his speed and athleticism. KM has an offensive package that highlights his strengths and we don’t even use it smh…
You can’t blame Herron for the offensive coaches. KM didn’t hire the coordinator Herron wanted to bring with him. KM wanted to fill a teacher position with that coach and the OC Herron wanted did not want a teaching position so it didn’t work out. Herron wanted to bring his guy in as a volunteer coach but the current OC wasn’t comfortable with that. The current O-line coach is a veteran holdover from the previous regime who doesn’t appear to be too engaged since Lloyd left. It’s kind of obvious that he is not happy. In my opinion he just focused on softball and collecting a check for football.
Herron is doing a lot of things differently and putting the pieces in place for KM to go to that next level. Coach Lloyd definitely had a positive relationship with the KM youth football organizations but Coach Herron has came in and helped tie youth leagues, middle school, and high school all together in a way that hasn’t been done in KM. Coach Herron is like a mad football scientist behind the scenes and so ya’ll can sleep on him if you want. He is building something special.

Shelby stats against KM:
Passing 16-32, 251yds 2 tds and 2ints
Rushing: 28 carries for 124yds as a TEAM.
Shelby total yds: 375yds
Shelby had pass receptions for 42, 56, and 72yds. That means that 170yds of their 251yds came on three pass receptions. Shelby was 13-29 for 81yds without those three receptions.
Tate didn’t go over a hundred yards rushing until under 2mins in game and KM basically waving the white flag. Tate finished with 23 carries for 111yds. Almost half of those came after we turned it over on downs with a little over two minutes left in game. The last run put Tate over a hundred.
Shelby obviously has a talented offensive team and they are going to hit some plays on everybody. Shelby wasn’t just running or passing the ball at will on the KM defense for those acting like that. Context is always important.

Dont think anybody at Shelby is claming to blow out KM..i notice your mot putting up KM stats, which i belive was in the 188, so lets talk Shelby d. You had one long pass play and was held to 2 FG.
So is the offense not very good ?
Or is Shelbys D better then people think.
I for one think KM get the pieces in place they can be Dangerous.

Shelby, be nice to us this week! We aren’t ready just yet, to many new faces and offense needs to come together. We need to get better fast!
Dont worry we have lots of cleaning up to do, to many turnovers and Penalties.
I very much do like this team though.
Going be fun year..
Looking foward to meeting our AC friends this Fri.
Hoping that Rb dont get rolling
Our TB looked the part last week, I just feel he needed more touches. However I also think we were seeing what our QB can do and we need to find a receiver who demands the ball. We will be fine in the long run, just not yet. Looking forward to seeing Shelby once again, always good to come to CC for football!
Lol. You have got us the last couple years but I do love having Reynolds on our schedule every year.. Like shelbyfan said we do have a lot of cleaning up to do so hopefully we can give you guys a game this week. Have a safe trip down.
So you are giving Herron a pass again this season
Always an excuse with KM
We been sleeping on KM for 101 years so I think that is warranted
HC is the HC for a reason. If he can’t get the assistant coaches on board then it falls on him to either get them on board or have them find another job.
Unless binky wants them to stay
We know yall roll in KM
I was hoping he pulled a "Remember the Titans" move last year with the OC and say if you don't get that 'O' straight, I'm taking it over.
This kind of sounds like the game against Crest last season
We only gave up 49 yards passing , still got blown out
Well if they didn’t have this run for 40 or let Tater run for 65 yard etc , Crest would only have 150 yards , come on there are more ways to win football games
I think KM oline is huge and good , run the dang ball
Just not sure why HC is not demanding some changes on offense.
That defense at KM deserves better offense
