Final Score from Kenan Stadium on Friday night in the NCHSAA 3-AA Football Championship Game:
Weddington Warriors 27, Southeast Guilford Falcons 14
The Weddington Warriors got the best of the SEG Falcons on Friday night, at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C., and the Christmas Gift was there for the Falcons taking, but Weddington just wouldn’t let the SEG Falcons have/take this game and Weddington left Chapel Hill, as the Winner…
SEG closes the 2018 high school football season at (14-2) and Weddington will end of their 2018 football campaign, at (15-1)…..
Weddington now has 3-AA Titles in 2016 and 2018, and the Warriors finished second in 2014…
Every time Weddington has been in the NCHSAA Football Championship Games, the Warriors have been facing Guilford County schools…
Weddington vs. Northern Guilford in 2014, with a 14-7 loss to the NG Nighthawks…
Weddington vs. Eastern Guilford in 2016, with 33-20 win by the Warriors, over the EG Wildcats…
And now Weddington vs. Southeast Guilford in 2018 and Warriors walk away with a 27-14 victory…
And how did the Weddington Warriors get the “W” on Friday night, December 14???
Well, they stole it…
Yes, this is a story of how the “Shipleys Stole Christmas”!!!!!
It wasn’t like there was one of them running away with the SEG Guilford Falcons’ Christmas, no there was not just one, but two Shipleys tonight, out there on the wet football turf, at Kenan Stadium…
The Shipley brothers(James and Will) were going to town for Weddington and by the end of the night/game, the Shipleys had stolen Christmas, away from all the little Falcons and their families…
These Shipley brothers mean buisness and they were taking care of business tonight, on the wet football turf, there in Chapel Hill…
How much did the Shipleys Brothers get on their heist?????
Well, here are the final numbers on the Shipley Brothers take and I think you will find these football numbers from the Shipley Brothers very impressive and brother, the Shipleys can play some high school football….
Here is the beginning of the Shipley Brothers stealing Christmas 2018 from the SEG Falcons…
The second touchdown of the game came at the 2:29 mark of the first quarter and that first quarter score, was a 50-yard TD pass from Will Shipley to Jmaes Shipley….
You could pretty much see it, and feel it, the Shipley Brothers were sure “Ship-Shape” tonight…
On Weddington’s third touchdown of the ball game, the Warriors quarterback Whitner Litton hit WR James Shipley on an 8-yard TD pass play, putting Weddington up 20-0, with just under 9 minutes left to play in the first half….
So that is now a three-touchdown lead for WED and two-of-the-three WED TD’s had come on plays involving the Shipley Brothers…
The last Weddington Warriors’ touchdown of the night came on a Will Shipley one-yard run….
So, the Shipleys were involved in three of the WED Warriors four TD’s on the night….
The Shipley Brothers are part of a sophisticated offensive passing routine/system that would take most players off their feet, but not the Southeast Guilford Falcons who stood tall and that is about all that they could do in this football game…The Falcons just had NO answer for the Shipleys….James Shipley was running slant patterns over the middle of the field and he was cutting down the sidelines, and he was open all night long…
SEG hung tough with WED, but the Shipley Brothers came in there and stole Christmas, right in front of that Kenan Stadium audience/crowd…
We talked about the scoring of the Shipleys and they ended up with 2 TD’s for Will, plus a TD catch and a TD pass reception from James Shipley, and did we mention that this was the State Championship Game…These boys were getting it done…..
Three of the Four WED TD’s were accounted for by the Shipleys…..
Now, here’s more evidence of how the Shipleys Stole Christmas……….
In the rushing department, Will Shipley ran the ball 12 times for 49 yards and one TD for WED….James Shipley carried the football three times for five yards on the night..James Shipley was one-for-one passing the football, with his one completion being good for 50 yards, and a WED touchdown….QB Whitner Litton was 12-18 with 1 INT., for the WED Warriors…In the receiving department, you had James Shipley catching 10 footballs, good for 113 yards and one WED touchdown….Brother Will Shipley caught the 50-yard bomb, from his brother James Shipley, and in the end does anything really go bad???
The Shipleys Brothers put up 248 Total Yards on the evening and earlier we left behind 31 punt return yards for Jame Shipley….
The Shipleys, James and Will and it is hard to slow those boys down…On defense, James Shipley had three tackles, with one going for a loss and he also had a pass interception and James Shipley returned the INT 37 yards…..Will Shipley had one tackle and one assist on defense….
James and Will Shipley are the real deal, and we saw first-hand at a Waffle House, on the way home, that Will and James have the knack for taking over a football fan friendly studio….The WED fans love them some Shipleys….
I hope we have covered all of the Shipleys numbers and if we can, more and more of these Shipley football features will be showing up at youth sports galleries for the ages…..
Most will have to flat-out agree that those Shipley Brothers really did come into Chapel Hill tonight and they stole the Falcons Christmas….
How the Shipleys Stole Christmas, they just flat-out reached out and took it….
Not a bad running night for SEG QB Ryan Douglas…Douglas carried the ball 19 times for 86 net yards and 1 TD, but not a good throwing night for Douglas, as he went 5-21 passing for 126 with one TD and Douglas was intercepted three times on Friday night….One reception for 83 yards and a TD for Tyler Hoff…To show how tough the passing night was for Douglas, if you take away the Douglas pass to Hoff, Douglas is going 4-20 for 43 yards and 3 INT’s….And remember on defense, James Shipley had one interception and he returned it 37 yards for Weddington…
You can see how this night was going….The Shipleys Stole Christmas, that’s all there is to it…
The Shipleys stole it with the 248 yards of Total Offense, they stole it with their 4 combined tackles, the interception, the punt returns, you could go on and on, but the Shipleys were in Ship-Shape on Friday night for Weddington, and those boys deserve to be on the NCHSAA All-State Football Team…
“The Shipleys Stole Christmas?”….Yes they did Mr. Dickens……
**********Congratulations to Southeast Guilford Falcons on an excellent 2018 season, finishing at (14-2) and thus ending up the TOP Team in Guilford County this season and therefore the SEG Falcons become the TOP Team in SEG Falcons’ football history and there is plenty to celebrate, as all of the Falcons’ friends, family, and even foes look back on the 2018 season…Good Job Falcons and keep “Flying High”………**********
