If Shelby wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Mason County Central, they should've done a better job of containing Tyler Norton.

He also put up two rushing touchdowns, which were his first of the season.

When it comes to explaining why Shelby lost, don't look at Jaylin Henderson.
