You're right........ That must be the problemBro, that's only one Barn....
I know everyone was talking about Lloyd being the bridge for the DC to take over when he left to go to Crest. Is that still the plan, keeping it in the current stable? Shutdown, I believe, is talking about someone coming back from a previous stable from the same grounds.
Still could be the bridge just might take a few more years..
It’s plain as day if you can see the last two posts. I will not say the name because it’s simply not my news to share. But the picture I posted this morning should help clarify things.

This national article did it.
GAME OVER
The Shelby Golden Lions are nationally ranked as the state’s winningest program.
Shelby just had the biggest Championship Title Game victory in North Carolina history.
Shelby has at least one State Championship in each of the last seven decades. Most decades with multiple Titles.
The Golden Lions have multiple Title Game appearances in each of the last seven decades.

I didn't realize, it was former Burns principal and Crest QB, Chris Blanton that presented Crest their championship trophy. He is now assistant superintendent in Watauga. Cleveland County roots run deep.
I saw that too. I knew he moved up over the years. There are people at Burns that are not a fan because of he and a former coach clashing but I go by what I know of the individual. Blanton was always good to me and held people accountable. I will leave it at that. I am glad he has achieved what he has in his career.
I believe it is something like 30-26-1. Shelby leads but Crest has really closed the gap over the last 25 years. I think it is like 9-16 over the last 25 years.
Yeah it’s pretty close. Thought Crest might tie at one point years ago and Shelby ripped off a 4 out of 5 years run. Guess that is how rivalries work.
As far as the Shelby vs Crest record......Shelby played football for 50 years before Crest was even a school. Those farmer boys at Crest (Boiling Springs), Lattimore, and No. 3 High Schools didn't know which end of a football to hold. A true record of the rivalry should start with the 1979 Crest win and go from there. (Crest actually won in overtime in mid 70s, but it was counted as a tie.)
Our data shows they have played every year since 1968 except for Covid spring 2020-2021. 57 meetings.
Correct at 30-26-1.
We are not sure at which years, but Crest grew into playing in higher classifications, all the way to 4A in the 1990s then back to 3A.
Shelby dropped from 3A to 2A entering the 1997 season. And stayed there.
The Golden Lions won ( with 2A numbers )
3 of the 5 years surrounding Crest’s 94 and 96 4A State Championships.
In substantially more of the 57 meetings, Crest was playing at a higher classification than Shelby, yet Shelby still leads.
Crest was never at a lower classification than Shelby.
Shelby now has 20 State Championships Titles.
Crest has 7 now.
You can understand why they hate us.
Still, easily the BEST RIVALRY in the state based on accomplishments.
The new incoming Crest coach will be told that there is only one thing that is most important for his job security.
True story.
You can figure that one out.
You should really stop claiming those regional titles as state titles. How many of the actual state title years did Crest beat Shelby? I can think of at least 7.
You see what you get for asking a simple question? You get Doc Brown bloviating a bunch of nonsense no one even asked., I'm going to leave his picture below so it'll help you identify him in case you come down for a game and need to make sure you don't run into him..

2nd to no one as long as they have equal or less students. Then it isn’t fair and they really only care about beating us anyway. Third best mentality on display.
“We”….what’s this “we” junk? I’m not reading anyone else saying a thing. Trust me, you don’t want to poke this bear.
These are not the droids you are looking for, move along.
Pretty impressive considering he missed 4 games.
Stop lying, you're just trying to buy her favor this week. If she goes a week without putting Shelby in an article ya'll will be up in arms. "what about us" "what about us midget bug league champions"
Why is Crest academic ranking among public schools so much more higher than Shelby and ya'll are under the same management?
I know Shelby really misses former Crest coach Eddins.
Check it out county brethren.. Pretty dang cool
