North Shelby scored 30 points in the second half and will take on the La Plata Bulldogs on Thursday, February 27 at 6 p.m.

“The Northwestern game definitely reminds me of tonight. The kids were interior passing, kicking out 3’s.

“The big focus for us was rebounding. I thought we did a really good job of that. The kids executed on both offense and defense. You can’t ask for a more well-rounded game,” said North Shelby head coach Landon Daniel.
