Hagar Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I was down in team sch last week to check on Cushing, and I remember seeing how impressive Shelbyville looked - very. Pts for 200 - against 26. That's in the X, doesn't matter who. Good ball club this year. prepballfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropKick Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I was a coach at Shelbyville back in 1983 when they won their last football district championship.The folks there that I'm still in touch with tell me thatthis years senior group is one of those once in 30 years group.They eat,sleep and breath football and all are as close as brothers off the field.They don't have a lot of size but make up for it with a lot of speed,hustle and heart.They have a 140 pound noseguard that was 1st team All State last year and a senior runningback that was 1st team All State as a sophmore and (I was told) played the last 3 games last year with what turned out to be a broken leg.I'm going to drive up next week and see there game against Joaquin. When these two schools play it's husband against wife,brother against brother and grandparents sitting on one side for a half and the other side the next half because their two districts overlap and in those areas students can go to either school.

WildcatBacker Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I don't remember the exact yr, maybe 2005...but Shelbyville was in our district and they were 5-0 going into their game with us. We were 4-1. They were cocky and very disrespectful. When their players ran out onto the field, they all gathered on top of our wildcat logo in the middle of the field and started jumping up and down on it. Then when we were playing our school song they were loud and obnoxious and taunting our side the whole time, never stopping to show respect. When the game was over, we had handed them their first and very well-deserved loss to the tune of 60-8. I hope they learned their lesson and show more respect to their opponent than they did that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
