Pendleton Heights once again welcomed Greenfield Central to Joe Buck Court—this time with a sectional championship on the line. The Lady Arabians set the tone early, getting out in transition and building quick momentum, but the Cougars refused to fade, keeping the contest tight heading into halftime. Pendleton Heights carried a narrow 28–23 advantage into the break. The turning point came in the third quarter, when Sami Brunk buried back-to-back three-pointers to ignite a decisive run and swing the momentum firmly in the Arabians’ favor. From there, Pendleton Heights took control on both ends of the floor, pulling away for a commanding 66–49 victory and securing back-to-back sectional championships. Adah Hupfer led all scorers with a dominant 31-point performance, while Olivia Jones added 22. Brunk chipped in 6 points, Aubree Warfel finished with 5, and Ellie Warfel contributed 2. The Lady Arabians’ team-first approach was on full display, as they totaled 23 assists and forced 14 steals to fuel their championship run. The title marks the program’s first consecutive sectional championships since 2011. Coach Rogers and the Lady Arabians now turn their attention to regional play, where they will face Center Grove on Saturday, February 14th at 7:00 PM at Greenfield Central High School.
