Shelby won the last time they faced Bessemer City and Lan Farmer did his part to make sure it happened again. The Golden Lions claimed a resounding 67-0 victory over the Yellow Jackets thanks in part to Farmer, who threw for 253 yards and five touchdowns while completing 90.9% of his passes. He is becoming a predictor of Shelby's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Shelby, racking up 21 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Jamarion Jj Williams, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
One reason for the win was Shelby's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Julius Brooks was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Shelby got some further help from Noah Gartner: he picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended one pass.
The win made it two in a row for Shelby and bumps their season record up to 6-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 points in those games. As for Bessemer City, they dropped their record down to 1-8 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.
