Not sure how good Forestview is? We will find out how good we are in those first 3 games.

Na, we're just that good. Syracuse commit Moe Neal had -2 (yeah you read that right NEGATIVE) yards on I believe 7 carries. Our defense looked incredible...absolutely swarming to the ball. Lee had great poise in the pocket. We are about 11 deep at WR and Camp is an incredible athlete. He had 3 tds tonight. This is going to be a fun year. Can't wait to see our defense against Emmons next week.

Shelby did look good. You know your team is loaded when Borders is not your first option and maybe not even your second.

Last year against Crest he had like -20.I have learned to never get to high or to low over a scrimmage.Next three weeks will tell a lot.

SHS your right...but i also know we are well ahead of where we have been last 2 years at this time..We have many wepons on offense..
And D looks very fast...also i think 2nd string D doesnt fall far from 1st...But your right cant tell alot from scrimmages..I was hoping to see how Truck was going to do at qb..but they called game

I think were ahead too on offense but remember RJ was 10 and 0 in the playoffs and Lee still needs to get some experience.I still think Forestview looked really slow.

Um ok.....and Crest's defense was one of the best the state has ever seen. Extended the game out another 28 mins and he may have had -20. What does that have to do with anything?

PLEASE PLEASE let us go big 2A. "We don't play anybody" East Lincoln needs to be put in their place!!!

Forestview still needs alot of work. Yea we got Moe but if he is getting pounded in backfield we might as well Fred Durst back there. 3 on O returned from last year. Biggest problem is 9 yes 9 players are in lineman numbers. I however do think Shebly is that good. They always impress me when I watch them. A well oiled machine is what they are. Best of luck to you guys

Yes please please let Shelby go big 2aa and let 98champion meet East Lincoln. Or just gibe them a call every year for a non conference event. Shelby walk all over East Lincoln? How funny every thread keeps getting.

We're too busy playing 3A powers like South Point, Freedom, and Reynolds. Funny...what's funny is how every East Lincoln fan for the last several years has prayed that Shelby goes small 2A.

ADMs last season - East Lincoln 926, Shelby 823.
How big were senior classes compared to this year's freshmen classes at these two schools?

You said we don't play anybody meaning like we never lose and those were examples of 2a teams that beat us from 2007 to 2013 in the playoffs.I guess I have just learned over the years you better respect good teams and good programs.That is why you play the game on Friday night.

I agree with SHS LION, we lost to some good 2A schools in the past. However, those teams didn't have the talent this team has especially on offense. I can remember when we had two talented guys on offense at the skill positions and this team has 4 or 5. Long season and after these next 3 games we could be talking about all the work that still needs to be done.

You never know what is out there statewide either.Take for instance 1997 with the great Norris Hopper leading the way.15 and 0 with arguably the best athlete I have ever seen on a high school football team and no way anybody can beat us.Then we face what maybe the best high school team Shelby has ever faced and we go down to Clinton.

Mt Pleasant team want be no pushover....
But think we all agree offensive wise we will be hard to deal with..
Forestview wasnt a great test to measure by...they only returned 2 O-line.Freedom will be better test.
Defense wise.....Team speed everywhere
Put how well against a team that come stright at u....still belive another great year

I believe the 2014 Crest team would disagree with that comment.:p

With a 87yrd run by the QB from the Get-Go and a 33-0 win, I might say Shelby is as popular as Ronda Rousey in 34 seconds.

97 Shelby beat the nationally ranked Crest Chargers that year and they were not in the same world as Clinton.

Last years Crest team was really good but no where near the 94 and 96 teams. Little 3a was just weak last year.

Hmmm, that's an interesting statement. I am a EL fan and prayed they would meet Shelby. Like it or not, ELs passing game would eat them alive. Shelby doesn't play anyone even remotely close to EL as far as offensive game play goes. The spread they run along with running between the guards and tackles is Shelby Krytonite.

On the other side, I don't see EL stopping Shelby's running game and ability to create big plays with their numerous playmakers and speedsters. I see this as being a high scoring game since both teams have dynamic offenses, big playmakers and great coaching.

Probably a better D, but not just as good passing. 7 on 7 isn't real football. Also, last year your passing game sucked and they did not throw 90% in any game I watched. I know this season is a new season, but right now EL has the better QB and Reciever. Both of which were picked in the preseason 2A teams. Shelby is nasty this year, I watched them Friday night and I saw the passing game against FV. That doesn't mean they should be feared. EL would have beaten them last year IMO. I watched both teams play, Shelby more than EL, and that's my assessment. Only time will tell this year. My first assumption is that Shelby would win, and I don't think it would be because of their fierce passing game.

That's a huge compliment to to our program . That 1996 and 1997 Clinton team were mighty fine teams 1996 had 2 future NFL running backs. The 1997 team had a all D-1 backfield.

Darquez Lee will be Shelby's starter Friday against Freedom. I cannot imagine Sarratt could have done a better job against Forestview. Lee has earned the #1 QB spot.

Didnt Shelby get blown out by 50 points by a nationally ranked Burlington Cummings in one of those title games? I know I read that on here some time back. :D
