Summary

North Shelby opened its season with a 38-0 victory over Bishop LeBlond in St. Joseph. Despite the lopsided score, Bishop LeBlond coach Chuck Davis cited the team's physical effort and progress from younger players as positive takeaways. Junior quarterback Pax Helsel led the Bishop LeBlond air-raid offense, connecting with receivers Phineas Spencer and Quinn Tabor. The Golden Eagles utilized a shotgun-heavy formation to test the defense, though the squad struggled to convert in the red zone. Coach Davis expects the experience against a top-ranked opponent to benefit his roster as they progress toward district play. Bishop LeBlond prepares to host Schuyler County on September 4 for its next game.
