With seven returning lettermen the Boys roundball team get their season started next Friday at home against Beaver Local. Then on December 11 they travel to Leetonia and to Lowellville on the 15th. They return home December 18 to play Western Reserve and East Liverpool the next night.
Head Coach Dave "Bug" Thompson is back this season along with Assistant Coaches Lonnie Fields and Dave Thompson, Jr. We can't tell you all the team member's names. We were suppose to get a copy of the roster but that didn't happen. We don't want to leave anybody out so we'll wait until we can get a program to name all the guys. There's only a few we can match up with the names. It will probably be February before I know them all without checking numbers on the roster!
Pictured above in the orange uniforms is this year's Varsity team. The second picture is the J.V. team followed by the Freshman team. We're looking forward to lots of exciting basketball. It's a Wellsville tradition.
Best of luck Tigers.

Does anyone have any info about about an exhibition game between the Tigers and Salem Tuesday night?
Nope not me... Haven't seen anything in the papers.

Boys play at Salem tomorrow night, Tuesday, December 1. According to our sources it's a new rule this year put in by the OHSAA to allow one extra game for a charitable benefit. Win or loose the game does not count for the record. In essesnce it's a full dress practice game. It wasn't advertised in the local papers.
Tip off is at 6 P.M. with the Reserves followed by the Varsity. The game is in Salem.
Record or not...Good luck Tigers!

GOOD LUCK WELLSVILLE TIGERS
The Tigers were winners in the Salem benefit game. Final score WHS 75 - Salem 69. Our on the scene guy told us they were out matched in height but the Tigers got 'em with speed. High scorer was young Nunzio Lombardozzi with 21 points.
Proceeds from the game went to the Dustin Hoffman Scholarship Fund. Hoffman lost his life in an auto accident and was a student at SHS.
Great job Tigers. Let's keep it going. Good luck on the season.
