The stat sheet was completely stuffed Friday, Dec. 20 when Shelby’s girls basketball team travelled to Manistee, coming away with a 53-22 win over the Mariners.
The Tigers battled through a slow start that saw them gain a narrow 9-4 lead in the first quarter. From there, Shelby took control and never looked back, scoring double digit points in each of the final three quarters.
Manistee’s best quarter was the second where they scored eight points. Shelby’s defense held Manistee below double digits in every single frame.
Shelby freshman Jayna Burmeister led the Tigers with 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while fellow freshman Michelle Peterson had 11 points and seven rebounds. Freshman Annabelle Stark recorded 10 points and senior Bailey Dickman had five blocks on defense.
