The 1-0 Shells meet up with Gillespie at 5:30 p.m. today at MEL's Hooks Gym to complete pool play.
“We’re relying a lot on kids who’ve been in the program and know how to win,” Roxana Coach Mark Biggs said. “We’re hoping that every game of this season, we learn a little bit from ourselves and make those small strides to get better.”
Zach Golenor led the Shells with 28 points, with Cody McMullin adding 17 and Zach Haas and Jacob Magurie nine each.
“Zach has got a high basketball IQ. He’s a very intelligent kid about knowing when to bull back the reigns or knowing to go a little bit harder,” Biggs said. “He’s a very unselfish player so we expect him to do a lot of other things that don’t show up on the books.”
Cody Richardson led the Tigers with eight points.

Seth Nix led Odin with 21 points, with Lucas Shaffer scoring 19.
