Shelby at East Gaston.!!!

Got to get fresh for the playoffs. The guys that have gone down have really shown that it’s hard to have a lot of depth at the 2A or 1A level unless you’re named Shelby of Burns. Shelby was quick upfront not allowing our backs to ever get in the secondary like we were able to against Burns. Couldn’t keep the ball long enough to sustain any drives. That first scoring drive how we methodically marched down the field eating up the clock is our MO. I’d give our starters the first 21-28 points (which might be in the first quarter) next week against Highland, then get them out of there.

My honest assessment, overall Shelby has the edge. Shelby defense and kicking game is better than Burns. Shelby has more depth. Burns QB is better. RBs and Receivers are equal.

Burns QB should be better. He reclassed supposedly

He reclassed in 8th grade. This is his 4th year at Burns High. Farmer will be better and better, he is just young.

Yea he was young for his grade and home schooled the first semester of what would have been his freshman year. Sadly the NCHSAA won't allow him to play baseball this year because he played 1 or 2 JV games during the covid year before baseball was shut down.
