The PHS varsity football team ended the regular season with a 55-0 loss at South Shelby Friday.
It turned out to be the Cardinals celebration of completing a perfect 7-0 Clarence Cannon Conference championship.
Palmyra defenders corral South Shelby ball carrier for a loss early in Friday’s loss.
The Panthers (2-7, 2-5 CCC) fought hard early on, stopping the Cardinals first drive and holding them to a first-quarter field goal.
But South Shelby, got it going in the second quarter scoring four touchdowns while converting two Palmyra turnovers into points in building a 31-0 halftime lead.
The Panthers forced the Cardinals to go three and out to start the game, and then managed to halt a South Shelby drive at their own seven, from where the Cardinals Kendal Hammond booted a 25-yard field goal at the 3:50 mark of the first quarter.
Palmyra gained 40 yards on its next possession before Wyatt Augspurg downed a Rylan Compton punt at the South Shelby one-yard line.
But, the Cardinals answered the challenge with a seven-play 99-yard drive capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass form Chase Moellering to Preston Elsen to go up 11-0 early in the second quarter.
Palmyra’s Landon Carroll runs for yardage against South Shelby.
Palmyra threatened to score on the next drive, reaching the Cardinal 29 when South Shelby’s Cameron Wiseman picked off a pass and returned it 90 yards for a
touchdown that gave his team a 17-0 lead with 6:35 left in the half.
South Shelby returned a Palmyra punt to the Panther 48 and needed just three plays to score on a 26-yard touchdown run by Hammond.
The Cardinals intercepted another Palmyra pass and completed their first-half scoring two plays later on a 38-yard touchdown pass from Moellering to Wisman.
The Cardinals would force a continuous clock in the second half while adding 24 more points.
The victory earned top-seeded South Shelby a first-round bye in the Class 2, District 7 tournament which starts this Friday.
