The Shelby Lions Football & Cheerleading squads worked very hard and executed extremely well to accomplish their goals this past weekend.

On Saturday November 8, 2008, the Freshman and Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squads pulled off an amazing double double, by winning 1st place in both the Dance and Cheer competitions at the Cheer Off.  Congratulations to all coaches and cheerleaders on this amazing feat, all that hard work and devotion paid off big time!!!

On Sunday November 9, 2008, the Freshman and Junion Varsity football teams faced teams that beat them convincingly in their regular season games.

Freshman faced the #1 seeded unbeaten Royal Oak Chiefs, which beat them 25-14 in game #8. But the Freshman team was much more determined and focused this time around.  They fought hard and played more physical pounding out a 20-0 half time lead. And then scored the only touchdown in the second half to secure the 26-0 victory, and become the OMYFA 2008 Freshman Superbowl Champions!!!

JV faced the home field NFWB Vikings which beat them 25-13 in game #5. After beating the #1 seeded Madison Heights Wolverines in the playoffs, they also came out playing with more emotion and determination.  After scoring on their first drive to make the score 6-0, the two teams battled back and forth until a defensive fumble recovery returned for a touchdown gave the Lions a 14-0 half time lead.  The defense kept pounding and gang tackling NFWB's star running back and refused to let them score a single point, while the offense punched in another touchdown in the second half to complete the 20-0 victory,  making them the OMYFA 2008 JV Superbowl Champions!!!

Congratulations to all the Coaches, Football Players, and Cheer Leaders for ending the season with such a spectacular display of dedication, devotion, and desire.  All that hard work and practice really paid off, you should be extremely proud of these accomplishments!!!  Go Lions!!!

Shelby Lions Freshman faced a tough Troy Cowboys that they beat 13-12 in the regular season. It was a tough battle as expected with the score tied 0-0 at the half.  The teams fought hard back and forth with Shelby putting in a touchdown in the second half to take a 6-0 lead.  The defense stayed storng and stingy not allowing the Cowboys to score and Shelby won the game 6-0 to advances to the Superbowl next Sunday.

JV played the 1st ranked Madison Heights Wolverines that they beat 20-14 in double overtime in regular season.  This was another hard fought game ending in a 14-14 tie in regulations, with both teams making some big stops.  Madison Heights got the ball first and scored on 4th and short, then the Shelby defense stepped up and blocked the extra point attempt.  Shelby scored on their 1st play and punched in the extra point for a 21-20 victory, and a trip to the Superbowl.

Congratulations to all the coaches and players and good luck next week - GO LIONS! (from Coach Don!)

Flagbowl -  the Shelby Lions Flag team played a hard fought bowl game against the Troy Cowboys and came out with a big victory 8-6.  It was a great ending to a good year, as the team avenged their loss to the Cowboys during the regular season. 

Freshman - Congrats to the Freshman Team for an 11-0 Season!  The Freshman shut-out the Royal Oak Chiefs with a 26-0 win in the Superbowl ! 

JV - The Shelby Lions JV also had hard hitting, hard fought game against the NFWB Vikings. With NFWB leading 12-0 near the end of the first half, Shelby got stopped just inches short of the goal line to thwart the scoring opportunity. Shelby ended up on the wrong end of a 26-7 score.  The players should be proud of their season, ending the season tied for 1st place @ 8-1 and making it to the playoffs. Your Parents and coaches are very proud of your hard work and accomplishments.

Cheer-Off - The Freshman team took first place in the Dance Competition.  The JV team took first place in both the Dance and Cheer Competition.  Congrats to all cheer squads for a successful season !!!
