Becherer was the HC from the Mid/late 70s until some time in the late 90s. He played DB at UK and is from the Canton, OH area. I believe he coached at Shelbyville until it closed and then he moved to Shelby Co. From 76 to 93 he took Shelby Co to 4 state title games winning 1 against Boone Co in 87. I know in either 76 to 77 they lost to Highlands in the title game. He put together a few undefeated seasons and through part of the 80s and 90s had a hard time getting local games.

Unless things have changed a lot in the County a majority of the football players are from the West portion of the district. If you are not familar with the area it is hard to understand the amount of talent in that part of the district. The talent is there to be very good and be very good fast.

It is true that it has been awhile since Shelby Co has performed on a high level. The last time that was happening Becherer was the HC. Not many teams played tougher schedules duirng the early and mid 90s at least than Shelby Co. Unless he has changed he always liked even man fronts. He does not like to blitz much and plays very sound gap controll defense.
