One thing was for certain upon the conclusion of Friday’s seventh-place game at the 81st Tipton Girls Basketball Tournament.

Either Jason Kampeter’s Vienna Lady Eagles or the Jamestown Lady Eagles would put their first notch in the win column.

George paced VHS with nine first-half points in addition to eight from Schwartze.

Firing in 21 points in the third quarter, Vienna got 10 of those from George helping them to a 48-22 lead with eight minutes standing between VHS and their first notch in the win column.

In spite of Jamestown scoring 18 fourth-quarter points, Vienna held on to take seventh place in the Tipton Tournament.

Taking on eighth-seeded La Monte in the consolation semifinals last Wednesday, Vienna looked to bounce back from a first-round loss at the hands of Chamois.

Playing to a 14-14 tie in the second half, Vienna could not muster enough offense before falling 43-36 to La Monte.
