Gotta love the double standard from alot of folks on here.  Shelby Valley puts a running clock on an opponent, and it's called "running up the score" and "not classy".  Other teams do the same thing, and not a word is said.

I could remind everyone that Somerset won last week by 57 points, which is higher than the margin of any SV win this season.  Or I could point out any number of other blowouts across the state.  But that wouldn't fit the narrative of posters on here with an axe to grind against Shelby Valley.

Somerset has a good team, and should be favored to win this game.  But it won't be because Shelby Valley simply rolled over a schedule of cream puffs this year.  The nondistrict schedules of these two teams were fairly comparable, and any difference in district competition is out of the teams' control.

Anyway, here's hoping for an injury-free game this Friday.  May the best team win (and I hope that team is Valley).

The double standard comes in to effect when you are kicking onside kicks with a running clock, airing the ball out with a running clock, etc. They could learn a bit in class from a team that is about 15 minutes down the road wearing maroon... 

With that being said I still think Valley gets a win this week in a shootout!
