Principia pulled away in the second half for a 46-28 victory over South Shelby in a Class 3 Sectional game in St. Louis on Tuesday night. The 4th ranked Ladybirds only trailed the 2nd ranked Panthers by five at halftime…
Brad Boyer with the call on NEMOPressbox.com. Principia scored the first 11 points of the third quarter and extended the lead to 36-19 heading into the fourth. Last year’s Class 2 Player of the Year, 6-2 Dasia Scott, led the Panthers with 17 points, including 9-14 from the free throw line. Charlie Roush was a big part in limiting Scott to six in the first half and she led South Shelby with 10 points in being named our Freeman Financial and Insurance Player of the Game. The Ladybirds finish the season 25-4 including four tournament wins. The seniors won four district titles and finished with a cumulative record of 98-21.
Principia will host another CCC team in Centralia in the quarterfinals on Saturday. We will have a broadcast on NEMOPressbox.com.
