Live from Burns vs. Shelby
About 40 minutes from kickoff here in Lawndale. The sun is sinking below the trees and it's going to be another perfect night for football in Cleveland County.
Burns is in its columbia blue tops and pants with blue helmets. Shelby is wearing its white tops and white pants with gold helmets.
Nice renditions of America the Beautiful and The Star Spangled Banner by the Burns Treble Ensemble.
Captains - Shelby: Aaron Briscoe and Chris Scott; Burns: Keron Phelps and Julian Kee (also joined by the rest of the BHS seniors).
Shelby wins toss, defers to second half. Bulldogs will start on offense.
"This is Burns against Shelby, get on your feet and act like it." - Tony Beaver, Burns P.A. announcer.
1st quarter
- Burns picks up a first down, then punts away on first possession.
- Shelby with ball at BHS33 with 5:20 left in first
- Howard Thompson to Tim Gullatte on a 32-yard TD pass down the middle. Turner Almond's kick makes it 7-0 at 3:38 of first.
- Burns fumbles kickoff, Shelby turns turnover into points quickly as Thompson hits Larry Raper on a 30-yard strike. Almond's kick makes it 14-0 at 3:18.
- Shelby's Larry Raper burst through the middle for a 79-yard TD. Almond's kick makes it 21-0 after 1.
2nd quarter
- Shelby's Corey Brooks picks off a BHS pass at Burns 28.
- Almond drills a 44-yard FG at 9:08 to make it 24-0. The FG was Almond's first of the season.
- Burns gets on the board with :42 seconds left as Keron Phelps finds Monterrio Merriweather for a 14-yard TD strike. Ethan Martin's kick makes it 24-7.
First half breakdown:
Shelby's quick-strike ability on offense and stout defense helps the Golden Lions jump out to a 24-0 lead. Thompson got plenty of protection on the two big passing plays to Gullatte and Raper. Raper had a huge hole to run through on the 79-yard dash.
The Lions' defense has two turnovers to their credit and forced one turnover on downs in the red zone. Shelby turned the turnovers into 10 points, including Almond's long 44-yard FG.
Burns has shown some solid flashes on offense, mostly due to the running of Phelps (49 yards). Phelps' receivers have dropped several big passes on crucial plays. The Bulldogs' lone touchdown of the half came after Shelby's first turnover late in the half.
Great performance by the Burns band with its "Wonderland, a tribute to Stevie Wonder" halftime show. You can't beat the horns on "Sir Duke."
Third quarter
- Burns forces first SHS punt early in the 3rd
- Almond misses a 27 FG midway through the third.
Fourth quarter
- Donta Hopper picks off a Thompson pass at the BHS 2 to stop a Shelby drive.
- Varan Hamrick punches it end from 5 yards out. Martin's kick is blocked. 24-13 at 10:08. The score was set up by a 62-yard catch-and-run from Phelps to Aldrick Watson.
- Shelby answers as Thompson finds Raper again with a 31-yard strike. Almond's kick wide to make it 30-13 at 6:00. Raper now with 241 yards of total offense.
- Shelby runs out the clock after Burns turns it over on downs.
- Final score: Shelby 30, Burns 13
