Former Bristol high school standout Tyler Arbuckle made a big shot for Taft on Monday to help the Rhinos gain their third win of the year.
“Taft beats Kingswood-Oxford on buzzer beater from @tyler_arbuckle !! The Rhinos earn their third win of the year,” tweeted TaftBasketball. “Next up Kent.”
Arbuckle canned the game-winning shot to give Taft a 54-53 victory over Kingswood-Oxford. Arbuckle, Class of 2019, is playing a post-graduate season for the Rhinos. He previously played for St. Paul and Bristol Eastern in Bristol.
Arbuckle is one of several locals on the Taft roster. Waterbury natives Connor Printz and David Brown, also part of the Class of 2019, also play for the Rhinos.
