The Winfield-Mount Union girls’ basketball team scored one of their biggest wins of the season as part of a doubleheader at Mediapolis Monday night. WMU, the 11th-ranked team in Class 1A, trailed number-13 Mediapolis by two at the end of the first quarter, but the Wolves flipped the script and led 23-21 at halftime. Winfield-Mount Union stretched the lead to seven going into the final quarter before closing the game on a 16-7 run to remain undefeated this season.
Despite leading 17-14 one quarter in and going up 26-20 into the break, the WMU boys fell victim to a 12-2 Mediapolis run in the third period, and the Bulldogs’ stingy second-half defense allowed them to rally for a 46-36 victory. Junior Cam Buffington put up another double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while classmate Abram Edwards pulled down 15 boards and blocked two shots. The Winfield-Mount Union boys fell to 9-2.
