  "account": "Shelby senior wideout Brady Bowman made history with his performance in the Whippet Athletic Complex game, catching seven passes for 151 yards and scoring a touchdown. This effort propelled him from 10th to 8th on the Ohio High School Athletic Association's all-time career receiving yards list, surpassing the 4,000-yard milestone with 4,114 yards currently. Shelby's dominant performance led to a convincing 42-7 victory over Marion Harding. After surviving an upset scare at Pleasant the week prior, Shelby wasted no time in asserting their dominance by scoring on the very next play through quarterback Michael Shepherd's eight-yard touchdown run. Bernard Baker and Luke Blevins each scored twice during the game, with Bowman also making a significant contribution with his 46-yard touchdown pass to clinch the win in the third quarter. Marion Harding's best scoring opportunity came from a kickoff return by Jackson Payne, but they were unable to capitalize. Quarterback Dez Feliciano completed 15 of 30 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, with Jaden Jordan being his primary target, recording 4 receptions for 62 yards. Harding's lone touchdown was a 10-yard reception by Marcus McGary with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Shelby finished the 2026 season with a perfect 10-0 record, marking their third consecutive undefeated regular season for the first time in their history. This achievement was highlighted by the strong performances of the senior players, who are set to graduate with an impressive 30-0 season. Coach Rob Mahaney emphasized the rarity of such a streak and the significance of the seniors' accomplishments, noting that this remarkable feat is a testament to the community's pride and the inspiring impact of Shelby's program.",
