My take on Shelby / W Lincoln game:
This was one of the toughest Rd 1 games - a 9-2 vs a 8-3.
West Lincoln was physical, determined, and gritty. They hit four trap plays for 54, 42, 29, and 20 yards, respectively. They also ran a triple option on the opening play for 18 yards on a QB keeper. Their other 38 rushes netted 82 yards (2.16 ypc), with the longest run of 7 yards. Their passing game missed a sure TD on their opening drive, when they dropped a pass in the endzone, and then they missed a short FG attempt. They ended 0-6 passing with 2 interceptions thrown.
Defensively, they tried everything...all-out blitzes, delayed blitzes, safety blitzes, stunts, etc. They gang-tackled and played to the whistle.
Their return game was good (#3), but their kicking game was a weakness as they missed a short FG, didn't attempt a PAT, had several short punts and kickoffs.
Overall, a heavy-Senior team that had tough luck drawing Shelby and having to travel in Rd 1 after a very good 9-2 regular season.
For Shelby, the running game was decent, but it was obvious that Shelby thought their real advantage was in the passing game...hence why Shelby only rushed the ball 14 times while throwing 32 passes. The RBs rushed 10 for 49, a respectable 4.9 ypc.
The long ball and the short passes were open, but WL did a good job of covering the mid-range passes.
Shelby's Kicker was perfect on the night, nailing 2 FGs and 3 PATs, and the punter never had a punt returned and was able to pin WL back deep several times.

You mean, they gang-tackled and played after the whistle.
Best of luck to him, man. I see that he’s a junior, cherish his senior year, have fun, because it flies by, and before you know it, he’s walking the line graduating.
I am a Golden Lion through and through, and to come into this ‘18 season, and not see my son out there in that black and gold uniform with Shelby across his chest, was a numbing humbling feeling, I literally had to have awhile to adjust to his absence. It just let’s you know how fast time truly flies. Enjoy that last ride in ‘19, man, because there’s no greater feeling than seeing your son representing his family, his school, his city, donning that uniform. The emotional attachment from the stands is just different witnessing it all.

Yes he is a junior. Thank you, it was rough enough this year. I'm really close with alot of the Seniors. This was his first full year in football. His freshman year, he was starting jv QB and tore his hamstring 4th game of the season and his sophmore year he was starting OLB on varsity and hyper extended his knee which caused a boney contusion the 4th game of the season also and missed the rest of his sophmore season. He is also the back up QB. So this year was exciting with him finishing his first full year lol.
The West boys played a good game.. impressive holding them to under 40 yards net rushing! I looked at stats.. looked like a much better game. Tell your boys to work hard in off season. West and North should be strong contenders in South Fork next year!
We gotta get through EL first.. but I hope we get a crack at Shelby too.

Should be a post all by itself and it wil be if I get some things rolling in the SF rd 2. EL seems to be coming through with big momentum in this one. So is North in their big shakedown on SM.
Shelby left pts on the field. As did West i know on one series. Shelby was somewhat flat fri, not taking away from West D but. Saw above where North poster say they held us to 40vyrds rushing...WELL know the truth. Shelby dont really run it this year and we had only like 12 attempt tgats 4.3 yrds per carry. We had 300 total yrds like 256 passing.
We will have to play better but know coach Ware will have them ready .
But belive me we'll be ready for challenge.
