Lol.... Dude! Why? Because, I knew that West Cabarrus is obviously in Cabarrus County, and obviously in Concord, NC.Even though he is from Shelby, he’s the most knowledgeable amongst us!
I’m sure you watched about 95% of those games live, home and away. Man, that 86 and 87 backfield of George, Surratt, Mauney, and Harper was something special. They all had size, speed, and went D1.Your right LA Jeff Jones has put a lot of great games from the 80s,90s, and early 2000s on YouTube. A lot of big gams and some big wins over the Red Raiders. If seadog ask you to meet some where don’t go.

Yep! You were a cool dude, and I could tell that you had gotten your drink on before the game. You were smiling, laughing a lot , and a little too happy.I’ve met both of you knuckleheads (LA and SHS). You know I’m harmless. Lol.

Yeah, we need to try that at a Shelby game. SHS Lion is a little too uptight at times going into a game. We need to get him to loosen up some, let his nuts hang a little.Tailgating is a happy and healthy event.
It makes losing to the Lions easier.Tailgating is a happy and healthy event.

Good one SHS, if you would have spelled losing correctly.
I remember watching him against my Thomasville Bulldogs in the championship game in 1968. Mostly, I watched him from behind as he juked me and ran by me. Better than running over me, I guess.Been watching Shelby football for many years and the best running back
I saw was Marcus Mauney. Had speed and power and great vision.
He was a special player at Shelby. Went on to team with Dre Bly at UNC. Incredible two corner backs. Drafted by Kansas City in the NFL.Go to the 2:50 mark, and see what hand timed 4.29 speed looked like. Robert “Quickie” Williams and the Lions vs Gaffney in ‘94. Listen to the crowd and the band, and see the epic display of speed. I’m loving these old videos that are being uploaded.
Literally the entire city of Gaffney would be at their games. Crazy atmosphere, intimidating, intense, and a definite home field. Any program would envy the kind of support they were getting during that time.The Old Reservation In Gaffney had so much history.....The new reservation lacks the home field advantage they used to have
Reidsville has no idea what it like to play a team like Gaffney.

No comparison back in the 90's to Gaffney.A good example was in 97 when they played Crest who was the defending 4A Champs and ranked in top 20 in the country and they beat the Chargers by about 40.Off the top of my head.... Thoamsville and Burlington Cummings in the 90s through early 00s.

Hell no! It’s no comparison. That was a totally different weight class. You’re talking about 4A big time South Carolina football during that time, and a program that once led the nation in state titles, and a time when SC teams would eat NC teams for breakfast. Don’t allow your Shelby hate to have you believing otherwise.No comparison? Yea ok.

No not all teams.I do believe in most years Reidsville would beat East Gaston.Given that you all think every team you play could beat Alabama, please pardon my suspicion.
Cant deny Gaffney was pretty dang good, especially in the 90s, winning in 92 and 97.
DarkHorses met Hopper in 1997!And the goat, Norris Hopper, vs Gaffney in ‘96, shear athleticism and what separated him as a special player. 26:25 mark.
I believe Clinton would fit in during that era; 6 state championship appearances 1990-2002 (won 4 of them)Off the top of my head.... Thoamsville and Burlington Cummings in the 90s through early 00s.
Yep and contained him better than any of Shelby’s opponents that season, and obviously won the game.That was a great Darkhorse team.DarkHorses met Hopper in 1997!

It featured a qb (turned wr at NCSU for Rivers, a monster fullback in Ralph Smith, running back Willie Parker (UNC/Steelers) RB Faison who played in the same backfield with Willie Parker in short-yardage situations and a stellar defense, at shutting out a very very good East Duplin team (let me say very good a 3rd time) 35--0 in the eastern championship had beaten them in the regular season and won conference championship DarkHorses only loss)Yep and contained him better than any of Shelby’s opponents that season, and obviously won the game.That was a great Darkhorse team.
I was enjoying the old 90s football videos and you gotta say something silly like that.
But I have to ask, what exactly is it like to have played a team like Gaffney 25 years ago? Which loss from 93-96 stands out the most? Did Gaffney not win a state title those years because they beat Ol' Shelby and thought that was enough to write home about? How long til NotFactualDynasty shows up and gives us 1000 words on how close they were came in 95 but lost due to some BS reason?
