Monroe @ Shelby

I appreciate your honest takes and full transparency. I think Shelby has definitely progressed, and can win, if we play mistake free football. I also think we could lose by two tds. We are young in critical spots.

Monroe looks like a vintage, primed championship Shelby team of the past. They are senior laden. They are strong against the pass, so the Shelby running game will be critical. I’m prepared for whatever, but wasn’t going to let 7 weeks of playing “Cherryville” influence my confidence. Monroe is a different animal.
Shelby 35 -28 !

We had Shelby down 16-0, and we let them stay in the game last year when we could’ve put them away. Shelby is a tough place to walk out of with a win. If any team can, though, it’s Monroe. Will be a great game, for sure!

You’re only active in the forum, because Shelby is still playing, and you are hoping and waiting on us to lose, so you can chirp . You normally disappear when Reidsville loses. After we beat you guys in 2021, you fell completely off the grid, to the point that I created a thread to see if anyone amongst Da Ville’s posters knew you, and could possibly do a wellness check on you.

You were “ghost”, account inactive, and it felt cold just thinking about you. I can’t blame you for hating, though, and looking for Shelby to lose, so ready to rub our noses in it. Heck, I’m still smoking good on my end. That good ole “ram pack” still blowing strong.
You could not be more wrong. Luckily I haven't had to disappear too much in the last few years, at least not as much as some. So let me get this right: I am supposed to fall off the grid when the Rams loose as in 2021, which causes you to worry about my well being (which I appreciate) or as in this year I don't fall off the grid and you are apparently aware of my well being yet wish you didn't want to have to read my post.
I may attend your matchup with Monroe Friday. I will sit on the Shelby side and pull FOR Shelby (just a little) I told SL I would attend the state finals should you make it and sit with him. I think he would be a barrel of laughs to hear during a game. I think you would just grovel the whole game. About two years ago I realized something in observance of Shelby......You can't always win. That changed my thinking. As for your father/son duo- they are still on my radar. We have to have some fun!!!

As a final note my response to TRUE/false also applies to you and ME.

Note for Chopper: I am sorry to type so much. Brevity doesn't always work.

Every body wanna talk about Monroe classification.. out of our almost 1200 students 800 is Hispanic and those kids don’t play football or basketball.. so out of the other 400 Monroe is only picking from prolly 200 boys to play football.. the other 200 is girls.. So to be honest Monroe really playing 1A ball if you look at it.. Monroe just has some dawgs in their little small community and a great Head Coach to compete…
Quick Google: Over 40 players this year in the NFL are of Hispanic descent.

Bro we have went back and forth enough that you know the majority of what I’m posting is just to have fun. There are basically no Monroe fans that really talk it up and we had crickets in our topic weeks ago. It’s playoff football and anything can happen. I think Monroe is a fine football team and looks like a title contender. I had no clue until I saw it myself. I saw Shelby vs Burns and that’s it. Monroe looked better. That was weeks ago. Things can change fast. My honest take: Monroe cannot hurt themselves with penalties on the road and give Shelby breaks. Shelby’s secondary better wrap up. Monroe better have balance and be able to move the ball like they have all year. Special teams are crucial for both. Both teams can burn you with breakaway speed. The biggest topic for Shelby is the O-Line. I don’t give a damn how good they played the first 3 rounds. Monroe is fast off the ball and pressure on QB is a recipe for disaster with their secondary. If Shelby’s O Line can create enough time for something quick we will have a game. Leave the homerun throws for next week. Use the flats.
 
We were, but weren’t as mentally stout and resilient as this year’s team has grown to be as the season has progressed.
Not sure if you heard about what happened to the FH QB and his family weekend before last. They were traveling up to Maryville College in Tennessee because he's been offered a scholarship there. They were on I-40 just outside of Morganton and slammed into a huge black bear. Destroyed the front of their car and killed the bear. Everyone was ok just scared the 💩 out of them I think.

We've all been saying the same thing about throwing home run balls on every play. Hit the short stuff and let the receivers runs, they all can fly.

@Monroe1998 the Hispanics are the boys you want up front. Them boys are some trench dogs, our offensive line this year is half Hispanic, last year it was about 80%, and two years ago which is the best offensive line I have seen in recent times in the area was made up of all but one who atleast had some Hispanic descent. Hispanics don’t just love soccer, that’s a dang near racist comment you made. I can see why the Hispanics don’t play football at Monroe, seems like their not wanted there.

If you can read my boy I didn't say Hispanics just play soccer, I said they don't play football and wish they would clown. I spoke the truth about the number of Hispanics that attend Monroe High School. I said nothing racist, that's just how you took it. Get off my post stupid!!!

This is the absolute dumbest take I've seen. We really only got 400 black and white kids to pick from because the other 800 kids we have are hispanic. Give me a break. You got 1200+ kids, the only reason you're in 2A is because this realignment was the most idiotic way realignment could have ever been done. By that logic with your Hispanic population you should be great at soccer but y'all suck 8-12-1 and 6-5-1 in your conference in soccer and missed the playoffs.

Just enjoy being good at football and hope you don't crap the bed this year like the passed years. You're playing 2A ball with 3A numbers and you have not won a close game in the playoffs when it actually matters. Your team commits too many penalties and it ends up costing them against good teams. Hope y'all get something to show for it this year considering everyone has been talking about how good y'all are for the last 2-3 years especially. I wish they would stick y'all back in the conference with Weddington and Catholic then we see where y'all really stand.

Poor Asian kids got totally left out 🤣. I wonder if he wants the white kids graded on an athletic curve also 🤣🤣. This is why I laughed my ass off at original comment

The funny part about this I used to work around some Hispanics really good guys that were great soccer players growing up. We also had some Burmese so we got a game up. The Burmese beat the brakes off them. We had some good laughs about that.
 
That's your choice...not mine.
be sad if it turned out like last weeks choice,,, lol

kw said ************
we differ on southern durham game bc i picked home team there. Therefore ill go to that one since u picked forest hills that game is less important to me now. Im psychic
***********************


thats a toss up choice there kw, 2 good ones that the road team can certainly win...

Shelby has a rich tradition and a tremendous community following. Not just talking about game attendance, but the championship fabric that lives 365 days per year. I have always been impressed with their discipline and unselfish team first attitude. I think coach Wilbanks has done an incredible job and this Monroe contest should be a thriller to watch.
Rich traditions handed down for generations like…

Cow Tipping (interior play)
Goat Milking (ball security)
Roadkill Fetching (speed)
Clothesline Limboing (agility)
Chicken Catapulting (special teams)
Carp Pond Graveling (long snapping)
Supper Table Wrassling (huddling)
Dentistrying (oops…wrong thread)
Outhouse Cornholing (passing)
Crab Apple bobbing (conditioning)😂
👆That one is funny!

And lastly….

Mountain Oyster Dodge Balling (juking)

Golden Lions by 9

Book it🫵
 
Here's my take:

Monroe is a big-time, big-play team. Shelby has to make them put drives together and not hit the big play, and must force some turnovers.

In 3 playoff games:
Rushing:
QB - (1) Chambers - 15 rushes, 255 yards, 5 TDs
RB - (4) Lindsey - 18 rushes, 226 yards, 5 TDs
RB - (3) Kendall - 14 rushes, 281 yards, 4 TDs
RB - (10) Smith - 7 rushes, 124 yards, 2 TDs
RB - (9) Jackson - 7 rushes, 112 yards, 1 TD
Combined - 61 rushes, 998 yards, 17 TDs (average of 16.36 yards per carry)

Passing:
QB (1) Chambers - 10-13-0-260 yards, 3 TDs

Receiving:
WR (6) Young - 5 receptions, 97 yards, 1 TD
WR (7) Clark - 2 receptions, 78 yards
WR (12) Simpkins - 2 receptions, 60 yards, 1 TD
RB (3) Kendall - 1 reception, 25 yards, 1 TD

They also have 8 defensive TDs (1 fumble return and 7 INT returns) and 7 special team TDs (3 punt returns and 4 KO returns).

Not sure if it's different quarterback or receivers from last year's team. But against buffer Hill they couldn't catch covid much less the football
Same team essentially.

New LB…who is the leading tackler…he must be sump’em.

We’ll see.

Your dumb for taking the post out of context of what I said.. I said nothing about soccer and nothing about racism.. I spoke facts about Monroe’s population.. Bro your team is at home and can’t beat Monroe. Out of the 3 Hispanics on the football team one of them is one of the best players on the team and the state runner up in wrestling.. But imma end this conversation with yo dumb ass cause I see you really hate Monroe cause we play 2A and 3A ball.. Maiden or who ever your team is Suck Monkey nuts and will never be able to compete with the Roe!!! SUCKA!!! This is a Monroe Shelby Thread so your opinion is really irrelevant…lol To all my Shelby fans I hope both teams put on a show so these fans teams that’s not playing can kick rocks and see why their team is at home watching.. CLOWNS

Jokes on u even though i didnt pick them i actually enjoyed the beat down rose gave southern durham. I was able to be on sidelines for the game and got to witness the smack talk going on amongst the players. Enjoyed being that close to the action.

We all know the perfect good game record of games u have gone to this year. East Lincoln vs hickory...hough vs mallard creek...Independence vs Mt Tabor...etc...i know your schedule bc u feel the need to tell everyone where your going and how many minutes it takes from your house to get there for some reason.

Enjoy your 100 dollars. Don't waist all of it at the bar at twin peaks or whatever establishment u eat at after the game...I'm sure u will let us all know what u ordered and what two sides came with it.

They would actually beat Weddington AND Catholick some years when they were in that conference. Check the records. This is why the expectations of them were so high because of the conference they came from and the previous titles they won during Shelby's run.

Dang, someone sounds salty geez lol
 
He drew first blood...im tired of his digs. Weekly arrogance .. "good luck to all the peasants that have to take hail mary risks this week" s**t..."cream rising to the top". "Ive seen all these teams live thats why i pick so good" Those comments drive me nuts. Even someone asked about finding a score a few weeks back and he goes "umm theres this thing called the internet" like why u got to be like that. I do agree with him on one thing america was made great again...but i think thats the only thing we got in common lol. And yes i know i am a very sore loser and if I was winning everything I mentioned above wouldnt bother me.
 
1-0 Shelby.. as far as I can remember.. My family has been around Monroe football for a long time and I’m pushing 50and I don’t remember them playing each other.. 2016 4th round was last time.
Not sure when the site was updated but looks like we first played monroe 1921 and are 2-3-2 according to Dynasty's site.....
 
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.
Monroe did scrimmage with Weddington and Catholic in pre season. They held their own against both teams. My thoughts then were 2A better look out and posted it before the season ever started. I still think they are the odds on favorite and while Shelby will give them a game, Monroe will have to beat themselves to lose.
 
We've all been saying the same thing about throwing home run balls on every play. Hit the short stuff and let the receivers runs, they all can fly.
Sometimes it only takes one move or one missed tackle and it's all grass ahead. I believe one of the first TD's Shelby scored on us this year was a one man to beat situation. We missed the tackle and nobody was there except the goal post 20 yards later. Both teams have players that can make things happen in open space. It does not have to be a 50/50 ball every time because neither team is leaving someone in the dust.
 
I don't know why, but I never bet against Shelby in the playoffs..... they could be playing the Kansas City Chiefs this week and I'd still expect Shelby to win....... hell, I don't know.......
