The versatile senior kept Choctaw’s head above water on a difficult night for the Lady Yellowjackets. She had an impressive stretch in the second quarter, that showed off a variety of skills.  Pherigo had her moments around the basket, with an aggressive putback, along with craving out space in the high post and then quick’y scoring.  She followed up that little run, by rifling a pass to a shooter for a big three.  The senior didn’t have the same impact on the offensive end in the second half. But she took a big charge late in the third.  Her consistent play displayed a high level of awareness and feel for the game.

Sometimes kids don’t put their offers on their social media and that’s perfectly fine. But, sometimes I’m left to wonder if it means that the athlete doesn’t have any offers yet. If that’s the case for Shelbie, there is something wrong. She is a strong, tough player who racks up the blocks, steals, and rebounds. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, she is a big who can step out and hit from three, also. A double-double machine, it looks from Shelbie’s video that she also has some of her best games against her team’s best opponents. We all know the clutch gene is pretty important, as well. It would be a shame for a player this good to not find a college home before her senior season comes to an end.
