Trailing Scott County 29-7 after the first quarter and 43-27 at halftime, things looked bleak for the SCHS football team in Georgetown on Friday night.
But the Rockets outscored Scott County 33-13 in the second half to pull off the upset victory, 60-56, and advance to the second round of the playoffs. The Rockets will face Madison Central next Friday.
Shelby finally took the lead with 3:25 to play when quarterback Alex Matthews hit Jordan Burk on a 16-yard pass and Matt Nakatani's extra-point split the uprights.
