Tell City Girls Win on Buzzer Beater, Edge Princeton 48 46
Tell City secured a dramatic 48 to 46 non conference victory over Princeton on November 29, 2025, when Reese Ford hit a game winning buzzer beater. The win, coupled with a 30 to 18 junior varsity victory, has given the program a momentum boost as the teams head into early December play, a development that matters for community support and local school spirit.
Tell City closed November with a dramatic win over Princeton, 48 to 46, when junior varsity call ups and varsity contributors combined in a tight game that was decided at the final buzzer. The decisive play came from Reese Ford, who sank the game winning buzzer beater to secure the two point margin on November 29, 2025. Earlier reporting over the weekend noted that Tell City led a separate matchup at halftime by 28 to 17, indicating the varsity squad has shown the ability to build leads and respond under pressure across recent games.
The evening also featured a strong performance by the junior varsity girls, who posted a 30 to 18 victory, extending positive outcomes across the program. Together the results have generated visible momentum heading into the calendar for early December, a period when coaches typically refine rotations and assess depth before conference schedules intensify.
For Perry County residents the outcomes have meaning beyond the scoreboard. Close wins and visible late game execution can lift community attendance and engagement, which in small school districts often translates into higher concession and gate receipts, increased booster donations, and broader local support for athletic facilities. From a team management perspective, narrow non conference victories provide measurable stress tests for late game decision making and conditioning, information coaches use when preparing student athletes for the mid season stretch.
Statistically the margin in the varsity game was two points, while the junior varsity margin was twelve points, showing competitive balance across levels. Those numbers suggest both clutch performance and room for defensive tightening as the schedule advances. With early December play approaching, Tell City will look to convert the current momentum into consistency, a step that can influence postseason positioning and sustain community interest in a sport that contributes to school identity and local economic activity.
