A quick start by Ontario would get trumped by a strong 2nd Half Shelby push as the Whippets erased a 9-point deficit to knock off the Warriors 55-46. Sophomore backcourt duo Trindon Flenoury and Cardae Brown helped Ontario (14-5, 8-4) race out to a 30-21 halftime edge, with Flenoury scoring all 16 of his points in the first two quarters. Meanwhile, senior Landon Foltz was consistently contributing against his former team, ending the night with a game-best 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists to fuel Shelby's (11-4, 8-3) comeback. After a slow offensive start, Brayden Devito started to find his rhythm down the stretch with 13 of his 17 points coming in the 2nd Half. Combined with a stout defensive performance, the Whippets would pull to within even at 37-37 by the end of the 3rd Qtr before pulling away in front of their home fans in the final frame. It's the 5th win over the last 6 games for Shelby who will travel to River Valley on Tuesday to face the MOAC leaders, while Ontario tries to bounce back from their third straight loss at home against Highland on Friday.

St Francis DeSales never led in their 74-70 victory over Elyria until overtime, and they never would have earned an extra session without the play of sophomore guard Chris Poellnitz III.
