Yes, he's gone, unfortunately. He tore his ACL in practice this week. It brought my son to tears. Hate that for the young man, hate it, hate it, hater it. He's a student athlete, great in the classroom, a senior leader on the field, high character young man. At 6'3" 195, he's been on the radar of some FCS, D1AA schools. Hopefully, someone still gives him a shot, but again, he will attend college, regardless. He's a very intelligent young man, has the grades and test scores to go anywhere.
The thing that I'm most proud of regarding this class of 2018 is they are some high character young men, and I am not being bais. Not that I have a problem with these things, I love kids being kids, but this team doesn't have a lot of big personalities like previous years, they don't get involved with the back in forth w/ rival schools on social media, they just take everything in stride, and go out and play football. I've literally had someone tell me that this team doesn't have any "street cats" on it, that's a reason for some of our so called struggles.

Usually I'd be right on board with you guys, but we are down, and Chase will always give us their best shot.
This could be the year.
PSYCHE!!!!

Dang I hate that for that kid he been grinding all Summer, do you think Washington could help in that spot
I absolutely believe they should put Joc at safety. He would be hell back there.
Fuller imo, not sure Joc has quick enough hips to be in the secondary. Joc would probably be good on run support.
Yeah, I did think of that, too, having hips is one attribute needed w/ Dbs, but on the high school level, you can get away w/ playing players out of position. Washington is a big hitter, though. He will knock your head off. His older brother, Carlos Washington, was one of the best safeties to ever play in Cleveland County.
I agree w/ you, though, on Fuller. He can fill that position. Washington needs to be on that field in some capacity, though. We have several young men on the sideline who could be contributing.You've mentioned Pettis in several posts, he's super athletic. Crestuff, despite being a Crest die hard, has known Washington and several other Shelby players and their capabilities since youth football, hence him asking about Washington. Washington could be a big contributor in some fashion, maybe linebacker.

Only way it happens is if y'all leave the varsity at home and bring the blue devils to play on Friday 
Played at Chase in 2006. Rained SOOOO hard and was very cold.
None of you were there. I was one of 3 people in the stands.
The 3rd guy may have actually been a corpse that no one had come to retrieve from the week before.

I was there sitting in front of you.Even Joe didn't make the trip.Chase officials said that was the only chance they had was to play that night in the rain.
We ended up getting under the bleachers and watching through the cracks. I have no idea why we stayed for that game.
I think because that was one of the all time great Shelby teams.That wing-t was something special that year.
That game was their senior night. Felt sorry for the players. Bright spot was that they sold whole pizzas for two dollars and we ate pizza on our way home.
Are there any two schools in the state (or nation) that have played each other 53 times with one team never winning a single time?
