Wellsville Now 20 & 1

What did I say 'bout it ain't going to be easy? The Tiger's boys basketball team took the first game in district play this evening by a final score of 69 - 66 over the Crusaders of Steubenville Central.

wkmxlive had some technical difficulties but we were able to pick up the game near the end of the third quarter with the Tigers in the lead 53 - 43 going into the final frame. From there it got to be a heart stopper. From what the announcers said Steubenville was living by the three pointers. However, in the last seconds of the game it was an easy three pointer that finished them off. With less than nine seconds to go Central had a wide open shot to tie the game and send it in to overtime only to miss.

Don't have any stats to give you. wkmxlive's stat man wasn't there tonight. From some of the comments made there seemed to be some question on the referee's vision. Sounds like Coach Bug has to have them work on holding the ball in the next few practices. There was a lot of stealing the ball by Central. Might want to work on the foul shots too.

At any rate both teams played tough and the Tigers were able to avenge last year's lost in the district to the same Steubenville team. Great game guys.

The Tigers will be back in New Philly Saturday night. The Mayor said they will play the second game at 8:00. Hopefully we won't need any heart medication for the next one!

Go Tigers...

It's a whole new season now friends. Lets face it. the ITCL lower tier, does not have the level of teams we now will face. The Tigers kicked butt in the regular season, and my hat goes off to Bug and the boys. Any time you go 19 and 1, you did something, but now we will see much better teams, so we must step it up. Good luck fellows, run and pressure baby, that's all, the shooting will be there. Bug will have to show us what he knows.

Doy you really think the Mayor has control of the license plate tax money. It goes to the state. You are barking up the wrong tree.

Try not to live in an ideal world. For pete's sake, drive a little slower, and avoid the damn potholes.There's not much one can do to alleviate this problem. How the heck would we fare if blacktop wasn't even around? How did people survive then? Im getting pumped for the game tonight. Let's go TIGERS...

Well my friend the Mayor does have control over Village streets. What the hell are you talking about. Wellsville also gets its share of license plate money. The state is not in charge of Wellsville streets, Surace and Saracco are, wake up.
