Delta used an efficient shooting performance to pick apart Shelbyville and spoil Senior Night at William L. Garrett Gymnasium.

The Eagles hit eight of their first 12 three-point shots and shot 45% or better in each of the four quarters Friday to collect their fourth straight win, 62-46.

D’Amare Hood led Delta (14-8, 3-4 Hoosier Heritage Conference) with 16 points and six rebounds.

Blake Jones and Kaiden Bond combined for five made 3s and 25 more points.

“Coming into the game they were shooting about 32% from the 3-point line. That was not their strong suit,” said Shelbyville head coach John Hartnett Jr. “Tonight, it seemed like everybody they had were stroking 3s. Our scouting report told our guys to sit back and make (Delta) earn it, and they sure did in the first half.”

Ollie Sandman (main photo), playing in his final game at Garrett Gymnasium, topped the Golden Bears (9-11, 1-6 HHC) with 18 points. The senior committed to play basketball at DePauw University is 34 points short of 1,000 career points with two regular-season games left on the schedule.

Damon Badgley came off the bench Friday to score 11 points and Kohen Myers had all six of his points and three rebounds in the fourth quarter.

Shelbyville shot 35% from the field (16 of 46) and finished 7 of 23 from the 3-point line (30%).

Delta outscored the Golden Bears 25-15 over the middle two quarters to build a 43-26 lead.

“Delta did a very good job of jumping on ball screens and making us go backward instead of toward the basket and I thought at times, especially in the middle of the game, our offense stalled and our guys didn’t quite know where they were going and what spots to hit,” said Hartnett. “Their defensive pressure really threw us off. Offensively, we made some errors and that led to not getting the shots that we wanted. And they forced us to take some bad shots outside the paint.”

Shelbyville utilized an 8-0 run early in the fourth quarter to get within 45-34, and four times got the lead down to 10 but did not get any closer.

Delta closed the game with a 9-3 run, with seven points coming from the free-throw line.

In the junior varsity game, Shelbyville outscored Delta 13-5 in the final quarter to take a 41-34 victory.

Brody Runnebohm led the Golden Bears with 16 points.

Shelbyville ends the season with consecutive road games at Seymour (8-12) Tuesday and at Batesville (15-6) Thursday.
