BOURBON — Triton’s girls basketball team won its home tournament Saturday, beating Lebanon 43-35 in overtime in the semifinal before edging out Leo 39-36 in the championship game.

The Lady Trojans rallied back from a 19-12 halftime deficit with a 27-17 second half in the championship, including a 17-10 fourth frame by the hosts.

Whytnie Miller put up 16 points on the strength of 6 of 10 shooting from the floor as Triton (4-5) overcame the Lions in a game featuring four ties and four lead changes. Hannah Wanemacher finished with a near double-double of 13 points and nine rebounds to go with a team-high four assists ahead of Miller’s three as the Trojans tallied 11 helpers as a team.
