Kaytlynn Arens led with nine points, including a buzzer-beater to give Community R-6 an 18-17 halftime lead. Maci Poindexter finished with eight points, and Natali Sommer had five points.
“Offensively, we struggled scoring the ball in three of the four quarters while Van-Far stayed consistent throughout the game,” coach Stacie Carroz said. “The second half remained close, but Van-Far’s consistent scoring ultimately made the difference.”
