Sixth ranked WHS Tigers finished out the regular season with a 92 - 80 win tonight over back-yard rival Beaver Local. The Tigers never trailed in the scoring tonight and the closest the Beavers came was a 33-33 tie with 5:07 left in the second quarter. The Orange & Black took a six point lead into the locker room at half-time.
In the second half the Beavers came out with a bucket to get within four and that's the closest they got for the rest of the game. At one point the Tigers had a 21 point lead with 2:36 left in the third.
Jeremy Carter went out with an ankle injury with 1:30 left in the 2nd quarter but came back to play for a bit late in the third quarter. Lets hope that ankle gets better over the week-end.
With the score 86-73 with 1:41 left in the fourth quarter both teams cleared the benches with substitutions. Deshaun Pullie banged in a three pointer to make it 89-73 in favor of the guys from the ville and it was just a matter of running out the clock from there. It was an exciting game for Wellsville but you also have to give credit to the Beavers. They hung tough the whole game and never quit fighting. They don't call them the Fighting Beavers for nothing and they have nothing to hang their heads about.
Scoring honors was taken by Zane Carter with 23 points followed by Douglas with 21 and brother Jeremy with 20. Russell took the game high honors for the Beavers with 20 points. At the end of the game Wellsville was presented with the ITCL trophy.
Once again wkmxlive.com did an outstanding job broadcasting the game and they will be in New Phily Monday night. Right now they will only be able to do the audio. It is costing $50 to do that which they got covered. It will be an additional $50 to do the video. All donations are welcome. It would be nice to see the film if some folks want to be generous in making it possible to pay the fees. Contact Terry Brown if you can kick in. They got the people to do the work if they can find the donors.
The Tigers next game will be Sectional Tournament play next Monday at 6 P.M. in New Philly. They will be taking on the Steubenville Central Catholic Crusaders and we will all be pulling for them. Now we can start thinking about the tournaments but I may have mentioned this before, it ain't gonna get any easier.
Nice game tonight guys. Good luck next week. We'r off and running...
