Brodhead High found itself locked in a battle for one quarter Thursday night berfore pulling away to earn a 52-33 victory over Edgerton in Rock Valley girls basketball.

It was a key win for Brodhead (8-3, 7-1), which took advantage of Orfordville Parkview’s setback at McFarland to pull even with the first-place Vikings (12-2, 9-1) in the South Division loss column. The Cardinals can move even close to a first-place tie at home tonight against Palmyra-Eagle.

Edgerton (5-8, 4-5) led the Cardinals, 19-18, after the first quarter. Brodhead limited the Crimson Tide to 14 points the rest of the game.

The Cardinals also got a boost from Kristen Ruchti, who hit a buzzer-beater to end the first half and give her team a 26-22- lead. She finished with a team-high 15 points and was the only Brodhead player in double figures.

Meggie Schmidt had 14 points to lead Edgerton.
