The home court proved to be a good place for the Shelby boys basketball team to turn things around.

That followed a 53-40 victory over Palmer in the first round.

Jake Hopwood added 12 points for Shelby. Derek Swanson came close to a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds.
Jeff Fox scored eight points to lead the Wildcats.
The first round matchup was a little tougher. The Huskies fell behind 13-12 after the first quarter.
Scow scored 18 points for Shelby. Jake Hopwood added 14 points.
Derek Niewohner scored 11 points for Palmer (3-3), which defeated Prague 58-55 for third place.
