HEGINS — Abigail Snitzer made two baskets all night long.
The second might be the biggest of the season for Snitzer and the Shenandoah Valley girls’ basketball team.

The game was low-scoring and hard-fought throughout. Tri-Valley led 15-14 at halftime. Shenandoah Valley led 18-17 after three quarters.
The Devils’ Carly Teaschenko was the only player to score in double figures with 10 points.
