Shelby played last night in the 2009 Coca Cola "Pride of the Northeast" Girls High School Basketball All-Star Game at Mesabi Range Community College in Virginia. She was on the Red Team which featured Kassy Wenneson of Babbitt, Shelby of Bigfork, Bryn Joki and Jessica Cagle of Grand Rapids, Misa Matetich and Melissa Nyberg of Hibbing, Danika Stelton of International Falls, Kaeley Whiting of Mesabi East, McKenzie Overbye and Vanessa Aultman of Mountain Iron-Buhl, and Jessa Youso of Virginia. Alexis Podpeskar of Virginia was an honorary team member due to an injury at the end of her senior season. They were coached by Dave LaCoe and Beth Joki of Grand Rapids.
The White team had girls from Esko, Hermantown, Proctor, Silver Bay, Wrenshall, Lakeview Christian and Duluth Marshall and were coached by Brooke Chaffee of Two Harbors. She had played in the All Star game when she was a senior in high school and it was the first time an alumni of the game had come back to coach a team.
The Red team defeated the White team by 80-65 and Shelby was awarded MVP honors the second night in a row! We were happy and surprised with the one she won the night before in Duluth so this was unexpected but certainly a nice surprise! She ended up with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and played 21 minutes in the game. There were two 20 minute halves and a shot clock but there was never a shot clock violation last night. I completely forgot it was even running!
All the hard work and dedication over the past few years is definately paying off in full! Congratulations Shelby, we are very proud of you!
