Boys soccer: SCHS, Collins meet Thursday

Collins has had a busy stretch, playing four games since Thursday – winning three – and will wrap up the season this Thursday with a senior night game against its rival, Shelby County. The Titans defeated Bullitt East, 3-1, DeSales, 1-0 Saturday, Bardstown, 7-1. and played Henry County on Tuesday. 

Many changes have taken place on the Shelby County High School football team this season, and the latest twist has focused on two Rockets named Shipley and their prime leadership roles with the team.

Coach Todd Shipley has been the Shelby’s head coach for 11 seasons and is preparing the Rockets (0-5, 0-3) for its Homecoming game on Friday night against Class 4A District-4 rival North Bullitt (2-2, 0-0).

Tavis Elzy aspires to someday make his living in law enforcement. And if he is as good at being a policeman as he is playing football for Collins High School, bad guys beware.

Elzy, a senior wide receiver/defensive back, is a key cog for the Class 4A No. 10 Titans (4-1), who will entertain Bullitt East (3-2) for Homecoming in a District 4 match-up Friday night.

 As opposed to the new Shelby County vs. Collins Sports rivalry, which just began this year, an age-old rivalry will be taking place again Tuesday night, when the football teams from East and West Middle Schools collide at the Collins Stadium.
