All four of the Rockets' second-half scores were from 36 yards or more.
The first was a 68-yard TD run by senior wingback Brandon Ford, which pulled Shelby within 13-10, with 1:16 left in the third quarter.
Zach Shipley's 36-yard touchdown toss to a wide open Zakk Bailey put the Rockets in the lead for good with 9:47 remaining.
Junior fullback Chase Manica added the icing with TD runs of 59 and 77 yards.
