Farmer Came Up Big in Shelby's 77-0 Win
Lan Farmer was instrumental in extending Shelby's winning streak to four on Friday. Farmer was unstoppable, throwing for 152 yards and six touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played.
Farmer and Shelby will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bessemer City at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. Farmer will face off against Gavin Chastain, the Yellow Jackets' star quarterback. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
