Slow starts on Homecoming are not uncommon. Shelbyville’s 2024 ceremonies were not out of character. Leading 6-0 midway through the second quarter and stalling out inside the 20, the Golden Eagles committed an illegal procedure penalty on a 27-yd field goal make by Ben Betzelberger. Not to be dismayed, the Senior calmly booted a 32-yd field goal to give his team a 9-0 lead with 7:22 left in the first half.
