Posted

A stellar effort in Thursday night’s District 6-AAAA finale came up just short for Shelbyville Central.
The Eagles rallied for 14 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime, but came up just a single point short against visiting Franklin County and fell, 70-69.
Franklin County appeared to run away with the game’s momentum with an 18-point first quarter.
Despite trailing 18-12 after the first frame, the Eagles rallied and out-scored the Rebels, 12-9, in the second quarter and cut the Franklin County lead to four points.
Both teams added 12 points in the third frame, but it was a 14-11 run in the fourth that forced overtime.
Jason Ragland simply refused to allow Franklin County to win in regulation and went for 12 of the Eagles’ 14 points in the fourth quarter.
The game continued into a second overtime period where Franklin County was finally able to secure the win.
In the two overtime periods, the two squads combined for 39 points.
Shelbyville got big minutes from three players who reached double figures.
Ragland led all scorers with 22 points, while Devyn Heath added 17, including 15 from beyond the arc.
Zay Reese also added 10.
As a team, the Eagles connected on 11 treys.
Thursday’s loss wrapped up the regular season and sets up the District 6-AAAA tournament, which Shelbyville will begin play next week.
