Kaylee Arbuckle hit a season-high four three-point shots – one in each quarter – to lead the Villa Grove girls’ basketball team to a 29-27 victory at home on Tuesday (Jan. 25) against Georgetown-Ridge Farm.
Arbuckle led the Blue Devils with 12 points. Hailey Stutz made a season-high 12 points. Emma Buesing contributed six points. The rest of the VG points came from Jada Chandler (two points) and Jobella Crafton (one point).
The Blue Devils led, 11-6, after one quarter, 17-16 at halftime and 22-19 after three quarters. The visiting Buffaloes rallied to pull into a 27-27 tie in the final minute.
The tie was broken by Stutz’s final basket, which – combined with stellar defense in the last half-minute – accounted for the victory.
Villa Grove (2-18) returns to action on Thursday (Jan. 27) at Blue Ridge.
