SOUTH WHITLEY - Defense and the dynamic duo of sophomore Kaydence Mellott and senior Sidney Wagner led Tippecanoe Valley High School’s varsity girls basketball team to a 60-31 win at Whitko Saturday afternoon.

In a Three Rivers Conference tussle that saw the junior varsity contest cancelled and the varsity tipoff moved up to 2:30 p.m., Mellott scored a game-high 22 points, while Wagner complimented her with 21 points of her own in the 29-point victory.

The visitors, who improved to 7-3 overall and 2-0 in the league standings won their third game in a row and for the fourth time in their last five outings.

Whitko fell to 2-8 overall and 0-3 in the TRC.
