Cal-Hi Sports Northern California Boys Player of the Week Aidan Shelby (Loyalton) Sr.
The search for the Northern California Boys Player of the Week could have been difficult to find on our own, but in the case of Shelby we got an emailed note from longtime prep sports scribe Kevin Askeland, who has compiled CIF Northern Section records for many years.
To find Shelby, we had to cross the Donner Pass and make a left turn in Truckee and head north on Highway 89 until we get to Sierraville, and then we turn right on Highway 49 and after winding our way around 15 miles northeast we land in Loyalton to honor this week’s award winner.
Not only is Shelby from a somewhat remote area, there’s another twist to his saga, and that is his best performance last week and career best one to boot, would not have qualified for player of the week since we almost never honor a player from a game where the team lost. Later in the week, though, he solidified this week’s award.
Shelby started last week with a career high 51 points, including 13 three-pointers, plus six rebounds, two assists and two steals, but it came in a losing effort as Loyalton was beaten 92-84 on senior night by visiting Portola in a non league match-up.
The 51-point outing adds the cherry to top of the sundae, and although it doesn’t make up for the loss, when combined with what Shelby did the next night in Orland at Providence, gives the 6-foot-5 Sierra College-bound senior one heck of a two-game stretch. In a 76-33 victory, Shelby had a monster double-double that was nearly a triple-double after he had 42 points (six three-pointers) and 15 rebounds, with nine blocked shots, plus seven steals and four assists.
We’re not sure what Aidan did the following night in a 61-55 overtime victory versus Quincy, but it doesn’t really change anything with respect to his being honored. So far this season and heading into the CIF Northern Section playoffs, Shelby is averaging 21.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.3 blocks and 2.2 assists per game.
As for the 13 three-pointers, not only does it make the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book Most Three-Pt Field Goals Made (Game) list, it’s the most ever in the CIF Northern Section since it will be the lone entry from the CIFNS on the list when it next updates.
