After flying high against Harvard last Saturday, Giltner came back down to earth. The Giltner Hornets had to suffer through a 72-27 loss at the hands of the Shelton Bulldogs. While losing is never fun, the Hornets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 264th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 127th).
It was another big night for Ben Myers, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 14 boards for Shelton. Myers is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as he's now pulled down eight or more in the last five games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Jaxson Ohlman, who posted 16 points.
Giltner dropped their record down to 6-11 with the loss, which was their eighth straight on the road. As for Shelton, they have been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 games, which provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season.
Giltner has already played their next matchup (against Deshler), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Shelton will be taking part in a tournament against Silver Lake at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Shelton knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Silver Lake likes a good challenge.
