SHELBYVILLE, Mo. -- The North Shelby boys basketball team rallied in the fourth quarter for a wild 31-29 victory over Novinger Tuesday.

North Shelby outscored Novinger 16-8 in the final eight minutes. The Raiders trailed 28-22 when Dayton Mettes hit back-to-back 3-pointers to tie the game, and Mason Uhlmeyer hit a floater in the lane to give North Shelby the lead.
