Final: Shelby 28 Northside -6

Shelby could have scored at end coach Ware was running clock and wasnt trying to score. Plus Shelby had alot of drops , that could have easy been Td.
would of, could of, should of, winning just wasn't enough was it shelbyfan1? Why diminish it? Remember one thing, nothing last forever. Congratulations to Shelby
 
Chopper, Northside won the eastern championship; the best team in the east? That doesn't mean that, Clinton beat them 35-15 regular season, it should have been at least that 3rd round but Northside played better that night. Clinton had the most potential weapons of any Clinton team in a long time, I know, Ive seen the last 40, but sometimes the best team doesn't win. Hats off to Shelby but eventuall Shelby will experience that. Shelby's the champion, that's undisputed. Northside, made a nice run for a 6th seed in a 8 team bracket.
.
Wiz, Clinton is a good team, but Clinton would have gotten beat worse than Northside. Northside knows how move the ball fast enough to keep their hopes up if they're behind. This year Clinton did not have the horses or the scheme to come from behind, looking at the potential matchups, and their pass defense was barely making it. Based on what I saw from other teams out east, NS was the best the east offered this season. NS character showed that they are a 2nd half team, meaning 2nd half of the game and 2nd half of the season. They owned the east this year and deserve the right to be called the best team in the east.
 
you can congratulate Shelby on a very impressive win, and season(s), and still do it without all the negativity. no need in the continued bashing of the Eastern teams. just saying. and btw, congratulates Shelby, you are definitely the best 2A team in the state, and one of the very best overall as well.
96 panther, some folks know hoe to accept victory some don't Most Shelby fans do, all schools have them but I have never seen such regional bias. Oh well.

Chopper 747, you don't know Clinton football, Northside lost to the best 3 teams they played in the east, they also defeated 2 of them. Play form behind? Exactly how many times did Clinton have to do that this year? If you wish to continue to bash Clinton, go ahead and look foolish but none of the polls bore that out all season, none of the stat polls bore that our, their record didn't show it and just because you saw a limited couple of their games means absolutely nothing. You're biased. You saw what you wanted to see and are now talking out your ass. You need to get out of Cleveland County every once in awhile. A much anticipated all season Clinton vs Shelby match that everyone projected didn't materialize, but now you choose to not only give a outcome but project how well they would have done. Low class just plain low class. Thank goodness there are other Shelby posters with some class. Thank goodness Deana created a ignore button on this site so I don't have to sift through your trash. Goodbye

Wiz I'm not even in Cleveland county, I'm just as critical of them but I still give credit where credit is due. I always give them a hard time but their team can pretty much wipes the floor with teams from your conference. I thought they couldn't take criticism but you've got them beat typing a whole booklet to show how upset you are. I also find it funny that NOW you're into polls Whenever Clinton is not in the top 10 then you will say polls dont matter. Emotional posters tend to be inconsistent like that I suppose.

Only YOU and some Clinton fans anticipated a Shelby rematch. Shelby posters talked way more about Reidsville and Monroe than Clinton, because they figured whoever came out of the east it wouldnt matter anyway.

Give NS credit where credit is due. they were the best from your region. That 'special' Clinton team you bragged about has not existed since 97 yet you thought this one was it. Also Clinton was not even a top 5 2A team this season in my opinion. You had high stats probably because of that suspect schedule.
 
Don't know about any of that but no one ever bet against Lion Attack, the last four years he has called almost exactly what would happen in these title games
he said we would win this one by three tds....

Well done sir, well done.....

You field more players than over half of the small 4A teams in NC. You should blow everybody away.:D

Congrats again!

They should petition to play in 3A...seriously.
 
So we ain't going to have a bye next season???
ACR and Shelby will be playing second week again next year. Coach Laws confirmed that to me earlier this year. We are looking for a week one game though because West Forsyth is no longer available.
 
Four in a row is an amazing accomplishment.
Don't these Shelby kids every run out of eligibility? Seems like their studs are back every year.
Congrats to the Golden Lions for their incredible run.

Guess they would chant that knowing we want meet.
Belive me Shelby runs from no one.
Im sure Reidsville has a great team this year.
But talked to few people that went to that game, and they said Reidsville couldn't beat Shelby. Says it be great game, but Shelby win.
Guess facts are we will never know, like Shelby vs Monroe last yr.
I guess we need to stop thinking what could have been and enjoy what we got now

You are right in fact that we will never know.Two great programs that brought home the championships.

I actually never heard those chants and I stayed the whole time. Shelby is a great team, but idc about anyone's opinion we've been hearing all year who we can't beat.
 
Fun to speculate but why not just be happy with 16-0 ? Incredible football programs and football towns.

And not just 16-0, but winning all of its games by double digits. Reidsville didn't have any close calls.

The Lincolnton game went down to the last 4-5 minutes. That was a close call.
Most experts figured that game was for the state title.

Indeed, you know you've had a great year when a 28-7 win was your "close call"!
 
My impression from listening to this game was that Northside Jax didnt get Shelby's best game, and that is scary indeed.

They didn't. We could have easily had 2 more scores...a wide open drop on whay would have been a walk in td and an over throw to a wide open Borders in the end zone. Winning by 1 point still gives you the win though.

Yeah man ball hit 7 right in hands no one around him and Borders was "slightly " overthrown ha ha ... kids played great overall

Northside coach said our line was best they faced all season he was a class act as were his kids

This run will end eventually but man what an amazing ride it has been ....

Congrats again to the Golden Lions man y'all give us old folks a lot to smile about ;)

When we think the run will end just remember how close Shelby was to going to the state with Fuller and that 9-6 team that lost to West Stokes. If there is a QB in the pipeline then I like our chances year after year.

Exactly....if we would have went for it on 4th and 1 we would have more than likely added another title that year.

Also the year Salisbury kicked the onside kick and it hit their kicker before going 10 yards but the refs gave them the ball. They beat us and went on to win the title 30-0 or something like that.

the first meeting between Northside and Clinton was an awful game on Northsides part and our team improved and improved sure at the beginning of the season Clinton may have been better at that time. But opinions this time of year are based on end result and how the teams progressed. Northside was the best team in the east for our division. Call me biased but I try to be as truthful as possible. Thanks for the praise of our team chopper we look forward to 3A next year

13-1 Clinton was the best team in the east in 2A this year, Northside made a tremendous run at the end but honestly a 10 game set between the two, Clinton wins 8 of them. The best team doesn't always win.
 
Hey Chopper

I know you've been trying for four years to get us to lose and or give us heck all these years and everyone else ... hey one day this incredible run will end .. just wondering will you cry at that point? Ha ha ha.

Merry Christmas old man!!! ;)

I don't understand how you can make that statement with a straight face. The mark of a good team is one that keeps improving thur the season. Northside beat Randleman,
Bunn, Clinton and East Dublin ( all on the road ) to win the east. In order for you to make this statement you have to be the biggest "Homer" in NCPREPS..............
 
I'm not look at the record, the rankings throughout the season Sure if you're basing it on the last two weeks of the season sure but I think to be the best you have to look at the whole body of work. Clinton defeated Northside worse than Shelby and certainly worse than ED did but if all you're basing it on is one game so be it

Even using the new math they teach in school I don't see how you deduced that.

Clinton beat NS by 19 points the first time and they LOST the 2nd time when everyone is in playoff mode.

Playoff mode is different than regular season

Shelby beat NS by 22 in a CHAMPIONSHIP game and they left a TD in the 1st half. To NS credit they played decent pass defense(they have experience because they also run the spread) to slow down the air game. They had a way better pass defense than Clinton(watched a few Clinton games) and still lost.

Based on what I saw, Shelby would have scored 35 on Clinton in the1st half alone. Darkhorse pass defense was weak. They had no answer for the Monarchs not so advanced passing game. Shelby would have torched their 2ndary and Clinton would not have been able to run the ball against them(even the announcers in the NS/Clinton playoff game said Clinton will have to learn that there will be teams that can stop their ground game and that's what happens in the 4th round and title games as they watched darkhorses struggle to run the ball against NS late in the game) and wouldn't have done much better with that novice passing game.

The Monarchs beat the 3 best teams ithrown at them in the east...back to back to back, that's not luck that's a mark of the best team.


You're being a king homer right now.
