WHS Lady Tigers Reach .500

Thursday - January 14: The Wellsville Lady Tigers Basketball team continue to show improvement with each game. Thursday evening they hosted the Jackson Milton Lady Jays. By the end of the evening the Lady Jays didn't consider the Tigers as being very gracious hosts.

The Lady Tigers put in a strong first three quarters. At the end of one it was Wellsville 13 - 9. In they second quarter they went on a tear out scoring the Jays 23 - 9 to take a 36 - 18 lead into the locker room for the first half. The dominance continued in the third with the Tigers ringing up another 10 points with only one for Jackson Milton. With the score at 46 - 19 going into the fourth the Lady Jays come back was a little too late. They outscored the Tigers 13 - 10 in that frame but when the buzzer sounded it was all Wellsville with a final 56 - 32.

Mikyla Tipton almost outscored the Lady Jays with her game high of 30 points. Tipton had 14 field goals and was two for two from the foul line. Senior Sarah Drysdale and Freshman Francesca Colella both had eight rebounds a piece. Irene Kiser recorded six assists in the Varsity action. The win moves the Tigers to 5 & 5 for the season.

The J.V.s also had a win beating the Lady Jays reserves 57 - 29. Sarah Drysdale had game high honors with 14 points in that contest. Colella collected seven rebounds and Dawn Johnson grabbed five steals.

Good going Ladies. We knew it was only a matter of time. We're proud of you. The Lady Tigers travel to Beaver Local this coming Tuesday, January 19. With three wins in a row they're on a roll. Good luck...
