Good night for two Hancock County girls programs, as Mt. Vernon and New Palestine both win conference games to set up their showdown on Thursday.

New Palestine used a big third quarter to beat Shelbyville 55-38. Danielle Owens had 18 points and eight rebounds, while Bethany Murrell scored 14 and grabbed 11 boards for the Dragons. NP is now 3-4 overall and 2-0 in the HHC.
