Shelby vs Lincolnton

E
Ok I will give you that we did lose to South point and East Lincoln. But are you sure shelby could have beaten east Lincoln with Surratt. I have watched a lot of shelby film your QB is good but he is by far no Surratt not even close. And the 3rd loss you said we will have the game has yet to be played
East Lincoln struggled with Forestview. I'd be very confident versus them. Our qb is good, but it's those athletes we have at receiver who makes the biggest impact

I really liked chatting with the Lincolnton folks back in the summer at our 7 on 7..very nice folks over there. My son and I are heading over and I hope to see a good game.
 
Do they have a legit 7'er?

Another positive take away for you guys: You'll get to watch the best team in the state play tomorrow night.
Yeah, a legitimate 7 footer. I don't know where he came from, but he will suit up for Lincolton, and their qb is an awesome hooper.
 
Here's what I will say:

We will spot you 120 yds on penalties. That's just what we do.
If...IF...we play to our potential, even with the penalties, it will be over mid 3rd quarter. Lincolnton is a good team, who I wish was still on our schedule every year. Always a fun game. This year, I'd guess you will be the 6th or 7th best team we've played.. Our schedule has just been stacked, and it will pay off this time of year.
Good luck to all...but mostly to my Lions :)
Yep. Penalties are a way of life with the kids at Shelby. They looooove arguing calls with referees. And it pisses the refs off more and more to the point they start looking at everything they do.

This is the 7 footer's fourth team in four years. He is a Lincolnton kid whose guardians let others handle his decisions. He's home now.

Cool, bro, thanks for that tidbit. I've heard talk about him and this potentially great Wolves team that will be on display this basketball season.
 
I didn't realize you Shelby guys were so full of yourselves. You've been hanging around the Crest morons a little too much. And 7 Surratts on your team? LOL. Maybe 7 guys who are as fast or as athletic. But you don't have 7 guys as good as Surratt at whatever position you wanna put him. He would torch your defense in whatever way he chose.

And trust me, we have athletes that would abuse East Lincoln, too, easily.
We're not playing EL tomorrow, though, so why even keep mentioning them? You just need to worry about your Wolves. Your season ends tomorrow.

As I step into to room...and so happen to read some of the ....excuse me.....BS I'm reading....Lions fans(some) have egos that as my granny used to say.....need to be checked. I've said it before...Shelby is a class act program always putting out great athletes.....but YOU STILL HAVE TO PLAY 48 minutes! There's opinions upon opinions upon opinions....and still 48 minutes to be played....reflecting on one's schedule up until this point only carries so much weight .... these kids know what's at stake....it all about who wants it more.....undefeated teams have ran tables and still fell when it counted most.....look at the New England Patriots....against my NY GIANTS in 2011....with that said ...the best of play to the Golden Lions....and we Wolves the same!

It's not about egos, it's opinions, which we're all entitled to. Some of you guys get a little butt hurt when someone speaks their mind, give their honest opinion, and not do the good ole boy thing of sandbagging.
 
That game was closer than it should have been, and you know it. Mount Pleasant is a rugged bunch that plays us tough, but you know that WE made that game closer than it should have been, but every championship caliber has those type of games. Remember RS threatening us in 06? Of course, you do. Also, why do you not acknowledge us being without one of the best receivers in the state making a difference, as well the other missing, very solid receiver? Ain't but so many losses a team can suffer, and it not make a difference.
How much did you have Shelby winning by? Just answer the question? Stop giving excuses!
 
Chill, man. He's entitled to his opinion that we're the best 2A team in the state, meaning all of 2A. Start mentally preparing yourself for some hoops, though.

I think Monroe is 3 points better, but they're numbers are on the 3AA bubble so maybe they're not a pure 2A team, but some could say neither is Shelby with the number that try out.

They're not acquainted with the jabs on this board Lion. Not subjected to the Cleveland County chest beating. I like it. No, I love it. It's the only thing keeping most of the forums alive. I haven't seen but one poster for Lincolnton all year until round one. Glad they came out to play. Don't worry Lion, I'll play with you in the sandbox. But beware, I throw sand in your eyes. Once I do that you get a wedgy that makes you never look at a Victoria Secrets catalog again.
 
I never underestimate the Wolves. They play out of their mind when facing Shelby. Both fan bases always seem to be respectful when our teams don't play, but it's a different story when their playing. I can read between the lines. Lincolnton feels like a little brother wanting respect, while big brother says shut up and get back to your room.

I just think we have a special team at Shelby this season, and when we are focused, and but full strength, no one has/can stopped our offense.

No disrespect and nothing against Lincolnton, but w/ the exception of South Point and East Lincoln , you guys haven't played anyone, and it will show up tomorrow. I am aware of your running back, but we have played against 3 of the best backs in the state, and those guys star on 3A teams w/ bigger offensive lines. Z's son, #82 along with 19 are impressive, too. Defensively, y'all are solid, but you all gave up 33 points to East Gaston who were without Robert Washington at that time.
Gotchu. I don't dispute your perspective, just wondering. East Gaston? If you were there, you would see it as a positive! We got waaaay behind, gathered ourselves and rolled thru them...it was scary, but a thing of beauty before it was over. I think we got a little stronger that night. and neither East Lincoln or South Point dominated us the way you seem to think...a few mistakes can change a game greatly, as you know. The Lions can afford a couple, we can afford none. But if you get sloppy...

I am revising my pick again, based on your analysis... Lincolnton by 5!

Bud you got me all wrong.....for one yes you are entitled to whatever you so choose....opinion or not....but trust I speak my peace as well....I'm not the one to be compared to a good ole boy ...therefore my butt don't hurt as you put it cause in the end I'll still be me.....seems to me when someone barks back at you ....You seem to get testy....so by all means have your opinion....seems yours is the only that matters anyway....

All good, bro.
 
I love the banter. And the amateur analysis. And the chest beating! I just don't get all the predictions and opinions about the opposing team if you haven't seem them play! I expect Sheby to be the BEST team we've played this year! At least a touchdown better than South Point! It won't surprise me to see lotsa great athletes...but I've only seen you on film, so I'm not willing to give you "7 Surrats" or the best team in the state yet...maybe by Midnite Friday...maaaayyybe not. can't wait!

Lion attack
It would not surprise me if y'all won by 10 ,but it wouldn't surprise me if we won by two scores
We expect to win ,your lack of respect for Lincoln Co teams will show to be a good lesson tomorrow
The golden lions would love to see an intimidated bunch roll in to Shell town and hand your team a free pass to Raleigh. The pack wolves that are coming tomorrow are a hungry and displinedTEAM . They will not be denied. These boys wepted at the state championship on the sideline in2011watching Mr gurley go for about 300 yds They vowed after the game to go back and get thit ring in 15 . It's bigger than what you know. Believe me I feel the pulse of this team. You sound hungry but your two time defending state champs better be hungry

The wolves are coming to eat and at the end of the day you will respect this TEAM
We don't won't you to give us nothing
We are coming to take the Game
Wolves win

Bur seriously. Nothing I say on here is gonna matter. I'm just an old guy being silly and having fun. I'm all for the "we expect a tough game. We can't underestimate this team" blah blah stuff, but once you've said that once there is nothing else to say. And honestly, it doesn't matter if I underestimate Lincolnton. I don't have to throw one pass or make one tackle tomorrow night. I'm just a fan...which is short for fanatic.

So, to clarify my earlier points:

I think we are the best team in the state. All classifications. "But what about Crest?" They are good. They beat us, and they deserved to win. However, the best team does not always win, and that was the case in that game. We left money on the table.

"7 Sarratt's on Shelby'a team" - Yes. He's a fantastic athlete, and he'd be a starter on our team at some position. But we got a ton of great athletes. You shall see.

Lastly, now I'm irritated cause some of you have no sense of humor. Therefore I decree that Shelby wins by at least 21.

7 Surratts? There's not even one more in the whole state. Surratt starts at QB at any high school in North Carolina or South Carolina. Josh Ladowski of Lake Norman last year was the best last year with Surratt directly behind. This year no one comes close. You do have first tier players at many positions and deeper overall than anyone in 2A or 3A.

Surratt is a surgeon. He dissects teams. The kid is intelligent, has arm strength, and fast. Surratt was Male Athlete of the Year as a junior. Shelby QB Lee would be playing linebacker again if Surratt played for Shelby. And Lee is a very fine QB. You don't break the all time Chris Leak record not being one of a kind.

Chazz Surratt has also been named the Gatorade 2015-2016 North Carolina Player of the Year

Wait! What?? No sense of humor?

I am hurt, to say the least. I was trolling for Rulz, and foul hooked you with that " best team" comment! But since you lost to them, yet still think you were better...I salute you! That is a fan!

To say Chazz Surrat would start for you at 'some position' is a bit much, but I appreciate it because I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!

Just for your dour comments, WMD, I am revising my prediction to Wolves by 6...keep it up and y'all are gonna be sorry! ( sardonic humor)

come on, Friday!
 
I got no beef with Surratt. Great player.

You will see 7 athletes of his caliber tomorrow night.
Please. I'm asking nicely, WMD... don't make me defend an East Lincoln player on here. I have to live with myself, you know...

I gotta side with GDG on this one, bro. the East kid is of the ilk that is not found in bunches of seven on any High School team round these parts... If you got 7 of those, we don't have a prayer. It only took one of him to beat us, after all. ( BTW...I am convinced we were the better team...seriously)

Good grief it just occurred to me to ask, how many times have you seen him play?

And what is your measure of "athletic caliber"? That may be where we differ...

Is Lincolnton's best defense that a kid from East Lincoln is really good? I keep saying he's great. You Wolves are getting offended that it isn't high enough praise. Come on people.

So we have the best athletes you'll see all year. What do yall got? You live in the same county as a good player?

You'll see my measure of athletic caliber tomorrow night. Shelby by 23.
