Weddington will face Hoggard in the state championship in just its third season competing at the 4A level.
For the first time in 27 years, the Red Tornadoes are heading to the state title game.
The Shelby Golden Lions rattled off 11 straight wins after a disappointing 0-3 start, but that incredible run falls just short of a trip back to the state championship game.
After falling two points short of reaching the state title game last year, Weddington is heading to its first state championship at the 4A level.
After an 0-3 start to the season, the Shelby Golden Lions are now one win away from playing for another state championship.
The Red Tornadoes perfect season will live to see another week.
