Shelbyville Central's defensive effort on Tuesday night limited visiting Mt. Pleasant to single figures in each quarter and the Eaglettes claimed a 56-17 non-district victory.
The game was never truly in doubt as the Eaglettes jumped on the visitors out of the gate with a 13-5 romp through the first eight minutes.
Paige Blackburn led the charge in an 18-point third quarter as she tacked on 10 of her game-high 23 points, including a pair of three-pointers.
At the half, the Eaglettes led 31-9.
Even with the lopsided advantage through the first half, it was a 19-3 run throughout the third quarter that truly put the game out of reach.
In the decisive third quarter, Shelbyville added three more triples, with Kendall Dearing banking a pair.
Only six Eaglettes found their way in the scoring column, but the production was more than enough to down the Lady Tigers.
Shelbyville returned to the hardwood on Thursday night with a District 8-AAA contest against Lawrence County.
