Montague stormed back from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit
Wednesday night but was unable to come up with its first win of the
season, falling to Shelby 56-51.
The Wildcats (0-11) outscored
Shelby 17-8 in the final quarter, but turned the ball over a few too
many times late in the game to complete the comeback.
Coach Nick Thaler expressed pride in his team's effort and believes better days are soon to come.
"We need to be able to play with more sense of urgency, attention to
detail, and with togetherness," Thaler said. "I believe in this team. It is the habits
we currently are battling, and we have to be able to work through those
together."
Cole Herremans led the 'Cats with 17 points, and Noah Raeth chipped in 11.
