Should be one great match up.
Most folks on here saying Monroe is best team in 2a.
And they are the fastest.
Well i belive they will face best front 7 on defense they have seen.
I look at there sch. And think they really havent played anybody but FH, and FH is better now then when they played.
West Charlotte would jave been the best they faced., and they wouldnt make that game up.
This will be a game with speed all over field. Shelby dont need to turn ball over, our D needs to cause Monroe to turnover ball.
Im thinking 38 27. Shelby

Didnt they begin a game with West Charlotte that was canceled? Your front 7 is better than 3A West Charlotte, who almost beat Mallard Creek?

They also scrimmaged Crest no?

Let's not be that guy.
 
They didnt play West, so who knows
Amd we played a scrimmage with West start of year,2q and won. Yes just svrimmage but still..and as of right now in 2a i say we got best front 7
 
I’m hoping Monroe wins.

I know. I know. Look at my handle.

But this isn’t about capitals, capitols, 23-19, or any of the other arguments that have been said a million times.

I predicted years ago when the A And AA were left behind, that we would see four different champions in 2a over this realignment. I simply want that prediction to hold true. It’s no great hatred I have for old gold/black. I just simply want to be right. At least once in my life.
 
Shelby has their paws full

You could be right as 2A is loaded with good teams. Shelby may never play Monroe again with them already having an enrollment of 1200. Only common opponent is Burns and Monroe really handled them as they have everybody they played.Hopefully it is a good game. One positive for Shelby is we are at home and do not have to go through Charlotte on Friday afternoon.
 
I didn't go to the Monroe game but after watching some highlights Shelby should have a good chance especially playing at home. West was able to run on them look like Fleming had lot of yards. West Stokes fan-hudl

Monroe will be the favorites on the road. I'm sure Simmons will have them a double-digit favorite based on current power rankings.

Shelby will have to play a complete game to win; meaning win the turnover battle and keep the penalties to a minimum.

I expect a really great Monroe effort and hopefully the home field will help the Golden Lions eek one out.

Agree with this.... We will have to play dang near perfect to beat em.... then again they aint playing no slouch either...

Burns best player (QB/LB) didn't play as well as Burns RB 1. JV QB played QB and the QB that started the year but got hurt early in the season played WR. Not sure why they didn't put him back at QB for that game.... but word is Monroe essentially played Burns JV which explains the score.

*yawns* 3-4 tds were still called back in that game. Should’ve been worse

To be corrected it wasn’t Monroe that didn’t want to makeup the West Charlotte game…

Well you got one thing out of all of that correct. McGowan did not play. The rest is totally false. JV Qb hurt his foot in the JV game vs Shelby and did not play. The QB that started the first quarter vs Crest and went back to receiver where he played last year was Graham Warlick. That is who played QB against Monroe. We had both starting RB's in the game. Zavion Wilson started the game and Goodson came in as well. Max Davis also had a few carries including from the Wildcat. Burns did have players out and have a lot of 10th graders so the JV comment was somewhat accurate. Shelby has a much better chance than we did but if the QB has any issues running, the wildcat may be a great option Friday. Monroe had a lot of trouble with penalties. If Shelby takes advantage of that they could very well win. There is no upset in this game. If Monroe wins, they were favored. If Shelby wins would anyone really be surprised?

Basically what you are saying is that Monroe is really good.

Everyone knows that they are very good. I am not going to water down how good by using our injuries as an excuse. They scored at will on us and without penalties it could have been worse. It is what it is. Sometimes the other team is better and has experience. They are a senior led team and looked impressive but saying we played with a JV QB and no starting RB 1 was just not true. It was nothing but a statement to make it seem like Monroe wasn't what the score reflected.
 
Against West Stokes they were big plays for scores. West had 6 more first downs and had more time of possession. West runningback had 27 carries for 186 yards and 3 TD. If you can keep Monroe from quick scores should be good ball game. Shelby should be able to matchup. They had 8 penalties and West 6
 
Monroe is an enigma. The school that seems to always have close to or over a thousand students who still end up in 2A constantly. But they also tend to shit the bed on the road and lose. (Bunker Hill last year).
