Shelby High School will host the first annual Shelby Rotary NCO Girls All-Star Classic Wednesday March 19th at 7PM. The game will feature senior girls nominated by their coaches after receiving first team, second team or honorable mention honors in District 6, Divisions 1-IV.
This year, there were 49 senior girls who were selected First, Second Team, or Honorable Mention District 6 within their Divisions from the over 40 schools in our District. From the nominated group, 20 were selected via draft to play 10 per team.
“This is an exciting opportunity for these young ladies to celebrate their High School careers and play with the best in our District, NW District and even State,” said coach Natalie Lantz. Division II, Division III and NAIA colleges have been invited for the opportunity to watch and recruit some of our areas finest talent.
