Wyatt Proper caught the inbounds pass with three seconds, turned and took a last minute shot that arched high into the air and banked off the backboard, scoring to give the Cardinals a 61-59 win on the road at Centralia on Friday, January 27.

A last second one-handed fade away bank shot from the free throw line by Wyatt Proper gave South Shelby a thrilling two-point win in overtime Friday night against a tough Centralia Panther team at Centralia. The Cards won in overtime 61-59.
   Proper’s shot came after he caught the ball with three seconds on the clock and pivoted to his right, into the lane and let it fly just before time expired.
   South Shelby jumped out to a 4-0 lead and extended it to 11-4 on a basket by Andre McClure with 3:36 to play in the first quarter. After Centralia cut the lead to 13-10, Dominic Bragg knocked down a shot with 40 seconds on the clock to push the lead to 15-10. That’s how it would stand after one quarter of play.
   Centralia gained more control of the game in the second quarter, as the Panthers were able to put the clamps on the Cardinal offense. Tim Fisher knocked down a 3-pointer during one of his rare, open moments. That gave the Cards an 18-12 lead. Centralia would battle back to take a 21-20 lead with 1:31 to play in the first half.
