2008 Shelby Whippets Football Schedule


The 2008 varsity football schedule for the Shelby Whippets has been posted!
(scroll down for schedule)

Before long the Shelby stadium bleachers at W.W. Skiles Field will be full of anxious fans cheering on their hometown heroes. The first-time starters and the rest of the team, well-trained and well-prepared, will have those first-game butterflies in their stomachs. The coaches, anxious to find out if their boys have learned their plays and if they will execute them sharply, will soon know what kind of season they'll have. While preparation is key for the first game of any new season, the results of that first game will reveal what improvements must be made.

There's something really very special about playing under the lights on the freshly-cut grass of Skiles Field. It's the first warm football Friday night of the year and you're in front of the entire town of Shelby, Ohio USA. The Shelby Marching Band is performing many Shelby High School and Ohio State University fight songs to encourage their team as they rip through the GO SHELBY WHIPPETS banner before the game starts, while preparing for a crucial 3rd and long, or giving the defense a boost.

My days as a junior and senior class football player under head coach Bill Varble have long passed me by but the memories are vivid and enjoyable.


The schedule below was taken from the www.HungryHounds.org website. Go there for game results.
