Eaglettes down Franklin Co. on Senior Night

Posted

A solid defensive effort landed the Shelbyville Central Golden Eaglettes a double-digit win on Senior Night on Thursday, with a 48-37 win over Franklin County.
The Eaglettes got off to an 11-6 lead in the first quarter with a balanced effort on the offensive end of the court.
Paige Blackburn led the way early with five points, including a 3-pointer.
Shelbyville tacked on another 14 points in the second quarter, with Lanaya Young adding seven more, including a 3-for-5 effort at the free throw line.
By halftime, the Eaglettes built a 25-16 advantage.
Neither offense proved particularly effective in the third quarter, with Shelbyville managing just one field goal courtesy of a Jaz Western 3-pointer.
The Eaglettes continued to draw Rebelette fouls and in the fourth quarter alone, shot 13-of-21 attempts.
Young led the way for the winners with 16 points, while Jaleigha Harris added 11.
The Eaglettes appear to have turned a corner, having won two of their past three games and pushing No. 4 ranked Coffee County to the brink earlier this week.
Thursday’s District 6-AAAA win over Franklin County was the regular season finale.
The Eaglettes will begin play in the upcoming district tournament next week.
