East Burke @ Shelby

55-6 Shelby at the half . Lee with over 400 yards passing
 
Nearly or right at 2500 yards and 33 tds passing in 6 games is unreal .. Especially at Shelby where 1000 a season was rare for so many years

If 485 is right then that's another Shelby record as is 7 tds passing in a game ... Seems like he is breaking a record weekly

Hope they continue to play well ...

It would be interesting to see both Crest and Shelby go AA instead of single A this season. I dont' think there's a challenge for either team in single A competition. Would be nice to see a Andrews/Monroe vs Shelby matchup. Andrews vs Monroe was a great title game 2 years ago.
 
Monroe, E Lincoln, HP Andrews would all be tough opponents for Shelby.

Havelock wouldn't be a challenge for Crest this year? Supposedly they are a lot better.

I really, really hope Shelby goes 2A. I want to show how overrated East Lincoln is.

I wish Shelby would go 3A...lol. We've beaten 4 of the top 11 in 3A already with Crest next on the list. 3, 8, 10, 11.

1 Weddington (Matthews) 48.5 5-1
2 Havelock 45.8 7-0
3 A.C. Reynolds (Asheville) 41.1 6-1
4 Terry Sanford (Fayetteville) 40.6 6-1
5 West Craven (Vanceboro) 40.3 6-0
6 Crest (Shelby) 38.8 6-0
7 Western Alamance (Elon) 35 5-1
8 Freedom (Morganton) 34.4 5-1
9 Eastern Alamance (Mebane) 34.4 7-0
10 Kings Mountain 34.3 6-1
11 South Point (Belmont) 31 4-2
 
That list somewhat backwards, so much wrong with it. If any 1 loss team should be in the top 2 it should be Western Alamance(loss to Butler)

Andrews, Monroe, and Shelby would be top 10 3A schools.

bralpa, I would assume the 485 yds and 7 TD's are both Cleveland County single game records. Alan Ford should know if they are.

How overrated EL is.... Exactly how overrated are they?? I have seen both teams play and I can tell you after seeing what the ACR QB did to your Shelby defense, EL would have no problem scoring over and over and over again. Also, I watched the KM team pretty much stifle the Shelby offense for close to 3 quarters. EL may be a lil low on players but with the Surrat boys playing both ways on certain downs along with the rest of their D, it would make it tough. Those passing numbers that Shelby puts up look great on paper, but they are 90% after the catch from what I have seen and can be slowed down.

I think that Shelby has a great team with all those recruits they reload with every year and I believe they would beat EL.... This year. But if you think that it would be a blowout and EL would be Embarressed, you are mistaken. Also, EL would have smoked Shelby last year, you are lucky y'all did not meet.
 
1st of all, most all Shelby fans respect East Lincoln.
2nd all the recruits?....Shelby has 2 Camp from East Rutherford, and BJ Hopper from Burns. So not sure where your comming from or going with that bro...
Your right Ac did run around on our D,but they have on everybody Else too...They would do worse against East,ive seen East play too....
As far as KM, bad weather,not sure it was Km D.that did anything to our offense, Qbs throws were off all nite...he was only got two twice in whole game, Lee had terrible night...but hats off to Km,there a good team...
We will keep playing 1 game at a time...
And we still have plenty to work on
 
East Lincoln is very much overrated, in my opinion. They haven't played anyone and struggled mightily w/ Forsstview. We would have smoked them last year just like we would do it this year .

Last year, we had one of the best running backs in the state, and several kids, defensively, who went on to play college ball, including an all state linebacker who is now at Gardner Webb, and an all state corner who plays with Southern University now. Our D was hell! East Lincoln were the lucky ones, believe that. Lastly, just like last year, we're one of the best 3a teams in the state, let alone 2A. Respect us or schedule us.

I think the boys on the Shelby team are only interested in playing East Rutherford on Friday night.

East Lincoln is ranked #1 in the 2A AP Poll for a reason...they haven't lost in 2014 or 2015. Wish the NCHSAA would go back to just one state champion for each division, or split into 6 divisions permanently, but that's a different discussion.

Shelby has been explosive this season. We have the most injuries I can ever remember in one half of a season. Friday night we had 9 players out that started in Week 1 or 2; 3 on offense, 5 on defense, and 1 on special teams. I'd love to get those players back soon and wish them the best in their recoveries (#2, #3, #7, #10, #30, #41, #54, # 62, #81)....

If Shelby were to go 2AA, who would be the favorite to come out of the west in 2A? I don't keep up with ball on that side of the state.
 
Lone Stranger stop being silly. Shelby would beat East Lincoln, A.L. Brown, Mallard Creek, and the 85' Chicago Bears all at the same time.
 
Nah Gary29....We may have trouble with the Creek boyz and DABears for a quarter or two... HA!!!!!

One game at a time folks, never know whats going to happen on any Friday night..... nothing is guranteed

Probably Reidsville and Mt Pleasant, unless Reidsville went east. Maybe Carver, but I haven't really kept up with them so I'm not sure. Forgot about Lincolnton. All this barring any injuries, suspensions or any other surprises.

Good post
 
If the teams are to meet it will be a long time from now, that is if both teams make it that far, so as right now really no reason to sit on here and minimize what a program has been able to accomplish or not, who they have played or not, and to be honest that crap really don't matter. What matters is what happens after the ref blows the whistle, to this point both teams have done a pretty good job. Good luck to the Lions

Classy post, man, almost makes me feel somewhat guilty, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, and as my man, 98 state champion, has so eloquently stated it on numerous occasions, this site is called "Rivals", so this kind of banter comes along w/ this type of forum. However, it's always those clowns outside of the mentioned programs that get people riled up, the same clowns who don't even own up to a team, but claim many.

Wow what a bunch of excuses and whiny butts. Youd think I said that EL would destroy Shelby on here. I don't think the Shelby D would in anyway shut EL down from what I have seen this year. Is that what the Shelby's Fan Base are arguing here? Most of you seem to think that EL would get steamrolled and wouldn't stop Shelby or score. It seems like if you don't agree with the fans and think that Shelby should wipe out everyone, then you just don't know football or should pull for only one team. From what I have seen this year, it would be a high scoring great game to watch with tons of athletes all over the field.

Also, EL would have beaten Shelby by 4 TDs last year. Not even a close game......

Shelby lost by 7 to the second best team in the state last year Crest. Are you serious??? Shelby's achilles this year is the kicking game not the defense.
 
I didn't realize Crest was the 2nd best team in the state last year. I'm assuming that EL was # 1 and Crest was a close # 2. I also watched y'all lose to SP last year, I imagine they were #3 in the state right?

I think Shelby has a great Defense this year, but I also think that great players can score on them. That much has been proven. Shelby has a great team and there is no doubt about that, but EL has some talent over there as well and shouldn't be so quickly disregarded she talking about how they match up.

Mallard Creek then Crest IMO. I haven't thrown off on the Mustangs. I think Coach Byus has turned that program into a top flight program. But the fact is they haven't played no where near the teams Shelby has and that cannot be denied. I hope Shelby does go 2aa, so this hypothetical match up can be put to rest.

I watched the MC vs WF championship game on tv last year and neither team impressed me. I am pretty sure Crest could have beaten MC and, honestly, I think we could have given MC a game.
 
Hahahahahaha.....post of the year!

Glad you like that one.

Both teams are great teams and full of athletes. It would be a great game to watch. Also every year is different, so if they face off this year it doesn't mean anything about years in the past or future. I'm sure the game won't happen, but its nice to dream and act like we know what would happen if it did.
