FIRING THE CANNON Jim Roberts... At the South East end of the football field before the raising of the flag of each football game, a large “BOOM” is heard every Friday night. The individual behind that 12 gauge blast is Jim Roberts. Roberts has been shooting “Ole Nellie” before each football game ever since the mid sixties when HOWARD HANAFFUS who originated the attention getter passed away. Jim has only ever missed firing the cannon once in over two hundred ball games and that was in September of 1984, when his wife passed away. It’s not known how old “Old Nellie” is, but she certainly gets peoples attention when she barks. Several have said that they can look right at the gun when they know it is going to fire, and the are still startled. One Shelby fan, stated “I know when that gun is going to shoot, and regardless, I still drop the pipe out of my mouth when it goes off.” From the History of Shelby Football 1894-1985.
