The Arlington girls basketball team broke a 29-29 tie with a 21-12 fourth period Tuesday night.
The Eagles' 50-41 victory against Douglas County West boosted their season record to 2-2. Coach Luke Brenn refused to pick a single standout from the win.
“... each player that got on the floor did their job tonight,” he said. “So, the 'MVP' goes to the team.”
Taylor Arp scored all of her nine points during the final quarter, while Britt Nielsen and Emme Timm tied for the team-high with 13 apiece. Macy Wolf added seven AHS points, too.
The Falcons' Grace Holm, meanwhile, scored a game-high 15 points in defeat.
The Eagles next compete 3 p.m. Saturday at Tekamah-Herman.
