About Shelby: Shelby joined a special group of MDSA basketball players in the program’s elite 1,000-point club when the senior Carnegie Mellon University commit scored 16 points in a 40-39 win over Washington High of West Virginia on Saturday. Only Shelby, Margie Hook Nicholson (1977), Kay Reymann Burch (1980), Cathy Fisher (1985), Amy Buck Donohue (1995) and Kristen Zaranski (2019) have eclipsed that mark during their careers.
“I couldn’t have reached 1,000 points without my teammates, coaches, supporters and parents,” Shelby said. “This was a team accomplishment. I’m very grateful for everyone.”
Congratulations, Shelby!
