Fremont 69  Shelby 45

We were able to come away with a win at home against a very scrappy and hard working Shelby team.  We trailed after the first quarter 16-15 but was able to regroup and outscore Shelby 38-16 over the next two quarters.  We led at halftime 35-27.  We made a few adjustments in our press at halftime and scored the first 14 points of the third quarter.  I thought it was a total team effort to get this win as Shelby played a very strong game and had a great game plan against us.  Jessica Bennett had a career high 27 points to go with 8 blocks.  Freshmen Taylor DeKuiper also had a career high with 18 points to go with her 10 steals.  Mia Clemence had 10 assists and 4 points, Riley Chase had 6 points and 6 steals, Olivia Hansen and Khaila Noordyk both had 6 points and Eliana VandenBerg had 2. Grace Evans had 4 assists.  I though the defense played by Katie Ackerman and Riley Chase in the second half changed the entire game.  They were incredible.  What they did allowed others to get steals and have scoring opportunities.  Lots of credit to assistant coach Jared Hudson for breaking down their press break for us to adjust to.  It was just a total team effort on our girls part tonight with everyone contributing.  We are now 14-3, 9-0.  We play Whitehall at home on Thursday.
