West Central Valley won a Class 3A Region 8 girls’ basketball quarterfinal round contest in Stuart on Saturday night over Greene County by a 61-60 final in overtime. The Wildcats improved to 11-11 and they advance to the semifinals on Feb. 18, while the Rams end their season with eight wins and 14 losses.

The Rams jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the opening minutes, but WCV went on a 6-0 run to tighten the gap and Greene County’s lead was 25-24 at the half. The Wildcats built a 40-29 advantage seconds into the fourth quarter, but the Rams put up 21 fourth quarter points to force overtime at 50-50. The teams traded leads in the last four minutes with WCV senior Bailee Arnburg scoring the deciding basket with 13 seconds left when her team had the ball knocked loose.
