On most Friday nights this time of the year, Elijah Shaheen can be found chasing opposing quarterbacks.
The Caldwell County senior lineman is one of the reasons the Tiger defense has allowed just one touchdown total in its last two games — a 9-0 win at Crittenden County and a 24-13 victory over previously unbeaten Union County (one of the Braves’ TD came on a fumble return).
Shaheen and fellow defensive linemen Angel Long and Drew Davis have spearheaded a Caldwell defense that has helped the Tigers put together a 3-2 mark halfway through the season.
Shaheen is also a member of the Caldwell track program.
He and the Tiger football team are off this week but will host district foe Mayfield next Friday, Oct. 1.
