Shelby vs Monroe

As for Shelby vs Monroe, the game will be as good as advertised, in my opinion, athlete on athlete with the better team winning the game. I noticed that Cameron Dollar didn't even suit up for East Lincoln last night due to being sick. And, before FBCofNc calls me out on injuries mattering. He's their star player, D1 commit at receiver. they had already lost their other superstar receiver in Sage Surratt who transferred in the preseason. We're talking D1 commits, not a couple of role players. Their quarterback had minus 6 yards passing last night.
I won't give you too hard of a time. Lol. First and foremost, I hope all the kids get healed up and ready for Friday, but I couldn't help thinking about the "walking the hall, next man up comment". Good luck to all the remaining teams and hoping for injury free games.

Good luck to both teams. Going to make it to this game unless something comes up. I guess I'll be rooting for the Lions since they are our closer neighbor.

Monroe defense is excellent but the offense is vanilla without Zeph Wall. If Monroe gets some forced fumbles, pick six and/or short fields with their defense they can beat Shelby, otherwise I think Shelby is a bit better.
 
Agree. With Zeph Wall this is a push. Without him I just don't see Monroe being able to score enough points to keep pace with Shelby. Lions by 14.

Didn't have much time to post much on last nights game but here are some thoughts about it and the Monroe game

Huss was very athletic ! Offensively three of their td passes we had great coverage I mean great ! The first one on north end zone Db jumped too early but was there for int! Receiver great catch for td ! What do you say but oh well great job huss there !Second one and we can argue all day but if they wasn't pass interference I don't know what is! Receiver pushed off both hands and it was so hard he knocked #2 down made the catch and waltzed to end zone! Ref was right there ! third the huss qb three into double coverage and Dbs were there but again a great reception for a very athletic receiver .... they get major MAJOR credit on those great catches for tds ... overall I thought the defense played well but we gave up BIG plays that were haven't done but 3 times all year ( 2 at crest and 1 at rs)

Defensively Huss was quick very quick but most times #12 had ample time to sit back and wait for the play to develop ! !hit a lot of the drag routes and #3 for us stepped up big time finding the open areas and making big catches at big times ... We ran the ball hard all night and most carries fought for every inch! Huss was a very good tackling team ... some of our plays against most we break initial tackle and off to races but huss swarmed to the ball as good as any we've faced this season

Bottom line we scored 48 points against the team everyone said would be the best defense we played all season ... yes we gave up some huge plays defensively but hey what can you say ! Credit to Huss for that !!!

Monroe will against be a huge huge test ! They have a couple huge receivers that have made some great catches as well! We have got to do a better job of coverage and I think we will ... they like to run them all more this season as well and again we will have to take what their defense gives us and stay ahead of the chains ... there are going to be bad plays during the game and we will have to keep our heads and just focus on the next play ! We did a great job of that last night ... penalties we still need to work on there were what 240 yards worth last night for both teams ?

Should be a great ball game and it's what everyone has wanted to see for two years ! It only gets tougher each week as it
why not just not even play the 2AA state title game. being its pretty much a given that the west will win it anyway.

Anyone know if Monroe's QB is dual threat? Huss' QB last week hurt Shelby with his ability to run and throw.

I can only go off what I saw, their defense set up their offense against EL, EL had 5 turnovers, 2 fumbles, 2 int and 1 bad snap on punt. QB hit short patterns nicely, long ball was typically off, EL played defense without starting CB and FS, they have one tall WR that won a jump ball, run game is ok, counter and trap are bread and butter. On defense they are faaaaaaaast and aggressive, block #4 (mlb) and you are good (easier said then done kid is a beast) hard to hit big play on them because they are so fast, safety is a great player, when small DL is in all they do is shoot gaps and try to cause distuption, biggest runs from EL came against this. Would have been great if this game was played last year, Monroe is not what they were last year, but they have the same characteristics, aggressive, confident and faaaaast. Personally i think they would have won sd7 and are better than Huss, Haven't seen shelby so can't give prediction, good luck to both teams, either way west will be represented well
 
Monroe hasn't lost against a 2A school in a while either. Then again I think they've only played 1 or 2(Mount Pleasant/Forest Hills). Aside from that I think all of their schedule was 3A/3AA/4A and Charlotte Latin(private school power)

Yes we are, that was the best 2a team athlete wise that Shelby has faced in the playoffs since Salisbury in 2009-2010. Huss was far more of a challenge versus what we got from Reidsville the last two times they played.
You only beat Reidsville by ten points the last time.

A game played with the temps in the 20's could lead to turnovers.Thanks for the info.
 
Dear Shelby Lion,

If y'all don't commence to laying a Dirty Ankle style butt whooping on these knuckledraggers from Monroe I'm liable to come to the Cookesville Grill and slap the cheetos flavored tobacco juice plum out of that goofy looking mug of yours. Then I'll grab your two way radio, cue up the mic, and let all of Cleveland County's finest know that Knobby's brother has succumbed to the flames of an ether-laced fire due to a faulty lawn mower tire installation thus giving way to public indecency due to the combusted wife-beater that kept in all that fuzzy, bushy nastiness. If you've managed to regain consciousness by then I'll find a snake and a spider to finish my dirty work. So, you best stock up on dip cans and trim that foo-man choo like a fightin' man does, or there'll be heck to pay.

Lovingly,
Tennvolsfan06

I have no words... LOL.......
 
TWC owns the rights to all of the NCHSAA playoff games and the only ones they will stream live this week are the 4A and 4AA.

Always wondered the logic behind that. All the schools have alumni all over the country who want to see their alma mater OR teams from their conference play, I don't get the reasoning behind buying up and monopolizing all the rights and then only streaming 1 or 2 classes. What is the profit for them? Another thread I know.
 
Soooo laaaaaaame over here. My gosh (yawn). I'll suggest a few controversial topics to make this thread more lively:

- Martha Stewart's shortened prison sentence
- funding for the international space station
- metric versus SI units of measure

Apparently a lot of your fans since this post is so lame
 
Man this thread is exciting

Almost like watching Cherryville and Fred T Foard playing !!

Snooooozze
SL since I got a free year from you I gotta say man you need to step up your game.

Your pep talk on Reidsville/Lincolnton thread was classic and inspiring.

Even weird dude from Tennessee couldn't get you fired up. You don't have to talk junk just make it interesting. I mean Time Warner and where to listen to game on radio? That other 2A thread got Morris Day and the Time and fainting goats.

Get it together man!
