The showdown between 4A #5 Delta and 4A#7 Shelbyville had
been anticipated for weeks. It took less than twelve minutes for Delta to end
much of the suspense. In fact, it really took less than fifteen seconds. The
Eagles’ Greg Heban returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown and
Delta never looked bacon their way to a 63-35 victory. The Eagles dominated the
first half and built a 26-0 lead before the Golden Bears dented the scoreboard
just before halftime.
The second half was an offensive explosion for both teams.
Shelbyville closed to within 14 points in the third quarter, but in the end
could not muster any defensive stands against the high powered eagles. On the
evening, Delta amassed an unbelievable 411 yards rushing. Nearly 200 of those
came from Heban who added touchdown runs of 30 and 39 yards to his opening
heroics.
With the win, Delta claims the outright HHC championship.
The Eagles capped an undefeated regular season. Shelbyville ends the regular
season at 8-1, 6-1 in the HH..
