Godevilsgo, your pretty smart with football and netural to Shelby -Crest...u have seen both..whats your take of when they meet end of year.
If I could pick that game I would quit my job and be a sports better full time. You're talking about two different animals. Crest has its best athletes on defense and Shelby on offense. It's going to take more than one player to keep Justin Foster out of the backfield. Kid is going to be a very good player in college and will get bigger at that stage.
Win or lose to South Point I think they are the best 2A or 2AA team in the state. If they win I think they are top five in the 3A or 3AA as well. You could take all of Catawba County and make one team and Crest or Shelby would win that game. Yes I honestly believe this. There is just too much quickness and speed on both of these teams.
Just seems unfair that Shelby has that many pure athletes. Crest corners will be able to match up much better than any team Shelby has played. Shelby's offensive line play will determine their fate. If Shelby wins Friday night this is a top three game of the year in North Carolina football.
After Friday night there is nothing for both to look forward to until the last game. It's going to be boring for both fan bases.
