| St. Teresa's Ryan Fyke tries to get past the Shelbyville defense Friday. |
DECATUR -- After a tough week, Shelbyville recovered to put the brakes on St. Teresa.
The Rams, looking for a big win after losses to Tuscola and Sullivan-Okaw Valley, held down the
Bulldogs for a 23-16 win. It's been no small feat as St. Teresa has wriggled away for comeback wins against those same two teams.
But Shelbyville scored all they needed in a wild second quarter where the Rams scored on a Tice Robinson run, two Lucas Duckett passes and a safety.
The Rams defense played more consistently. While the run game showed flashes, Shelbyville limited the St. Teresa passing game as Ryan Fyke went 7-for-19 on the night.
"I thought defensively we played pretty solid," Rams coach Mark Ramsey said. "We created a couple turnovers. I thought that was a big key.
"We kind of stopped ourselves on some drives with big penalties. Our offensive line played pretty well."
The Bulldogs split 19 carries between Fyke, Chris Hein and CJ Stuart for 140 total yards between the three of them
The win locked up Shelbyville's first playoff berth since 2005.
