On Friday September 5, Shelton played their week two matchup against Canyon Creek in Plano, but it wasn’t much of a game. The Chargers were outmatched and outplayed by the defending 4A state champs and the number 2 small private school in the state.

The Chargers were overwhelmed from start to finish. Canyon Creek scored two touchdowns in a span of 16 seconds in the first quarter, and they scored again later to make it 21-0 after the first. The Cougars showed no signs of slowing down in the second quarter, as they scored three more times. A 5-yard run by Dylan Maxwell finally got Shelton on the board in the second, but the game was already out of reach, with the Chargers trailing 48-6 at half time. Shelton’s defense was much better in the second half against Canyon Creek’s back-ups, allowing only 14 points.  Despite this however, the offense continued to struggle and the Chargers only scored one more time on a 35-yard run by freshman Rich Morton. The game finally came to an end, with Canyon Creek coming out on top by a final score of 62-12. Senior Alyn Jackson led the Chargers in rushing with 82 yards on 16 carries. Duval Gregory, who had 7 rushes for 119 yards, led the Cougar’s strong rushing attack as they dominated Shelton on the ground, outrushing them by 292 yards.
