ANAMOSA — Ellah Wagenbach made six 3-pointers. Her ugliest one was a game-breaker.
Wagenbach banked in a 3-pointer to put Class 3A 11th-ranked Mediapolis ahead for good, and the Bullettes outlasted No. 12 Tipton, 57-54, at Rivalry Saturday at Anamosa High School.

Tipton (3-1) had rallied from a 10-point third-quarter deficit, taking leads of 50-47, 52-50 and 54-52 late in the game.
Each time, the Bullettes had a response. And Wagenbach’s banker was the final one.
