Shelby Stuns in Week 2 Showdown with Celeb Lineup!

Shelby High School delivered a commanding performance Friday night, overpowering Lexington with a decisive 37-13 victory in a highly anticipated Week 2 matchup.

 

Senior standout Carter Kessler showcased his versatility, contributing significantly on both offense and defense. He recorded 1.5 sacks and a pass deflection, while also hauling in three receptions for 64 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown that set the tone early in the first quarter.

 

"That's what we prepare for during the week, getting off the ball and getting to the quarterback," Kessler remarked, acknowledging the challenge posed by Lexington's quarterback, Joe Caudill, a Michigan State commit.

 

Quarterback Brayden DeVito was instrumental in the Whippets' offensive success, completing 8-of-9 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the ground attack with 164 rushing yards and two additional scores, demonstrating his dual-threat capabilities.

 

Despite the high-profile nature of the game, Shelby's approach remained consistent. "We don't care if we're playing Lexington or Bellevue or anybody in the MOAC or Madison," said head coach Rob Mahaney. "We want to make sure we attack Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and come out Friday and execute."

 

Lexington's offense, led by Caudill, faced challenges against Shelby's formidable defense. Caudill completed 14-of-32 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns but was unable to generate sufficient momentum to keep pace with the Whippets.

 

Looking ahead, Shelby aims to maintain their winning streak as they prepare to face Bellevue next Friday. Meanwhile, Lexington will seek to rebound when they host Clear Fork.
