MANCHESTER — Warren County simply had too much offensive firepower for the Shelbyville Central Golden Eagles to overcome in Tuesday night’s District 6-AAAA semifinal matchup against Warren County.
The Pioneers put three players in double figures and saw Nathan Elrod and Treyton Terry combine for 38 points as the Eagles fell, 75-38.
Warren County opened the game hot from the arc, cashing in on five treys as part of a 25-point opening frame.
Tae’Shawn Shelton pitched in his part in the opening quarter and scored seven points, but the only support he got in the opening frame was a three-pointer courtesy of Joe Harris.
Not much changed in the second quarter as the Pioneers doubled up the Eagles on a 16-8 run to take a 41-18 lead at the half.
Elrod and Terry went on to combine for 13 points in the third period and closed the game with four more apiece in an 18-point fourth frame.
In total, the Eagles saw eight players score in the district semifinals, but only Shelton reached double figures as he led Shelbyville with 11 points.
While they didn’t get to the line a ton, the Eagles did make the most of their time at the charity stripe, cashing in on 6-of-7 attempts.
They also made four treys against Warren County, with Harris and Jack Conditt each knocking down a pair.
Shelbyville will return to action in the district consolation game on Saturday, facing host Coffee County.
