Pryce Eagan scored back-to-back baskets and Preston Elsen connected on four straight free throws to give South Shelby a 65-62 victory over North Shelby and a North Shelby Tournament title on Saturday. In a game that saw 10 lead changes and no second half lead was greater than four, Eagan gave the Cardinals the lead for good….
Brad Boyer with the call on NEMOPressbox.com. Eagan scored on the next possession and Elsen kept the pressure on the Raiders with four clutch free throws. Both scored 15 points. Elsen was named our Freeman Financial and Insurance Outstanding Player of the Game for scoring 14 of his 15 in the second half including the clinching free throws. Waylon Owens added 13. The Cardinals won without the services of leading scorer Noah Wilt, who was sick. South improves to 10-8 and will host Cairo on Tuesday in games we will broadcast. Gannon Bowen had 23 and Jade Daniel added 20 for North Shelby. The Raiders drop to 4-8 and will play Tina-Avalon in the first round of the Meadville Tournament on Tuesday.
