Wednesday - January 27: Wellsville Daw Middle School's 7th & 8th Grade teams played host to the Lisbon Blue Devils this past Wednesday. It was our first opportunity to see one of their games this season and now we're sorry we waited so long. Let us assure you, from what we saw, the future of "Wellsville basketball" tradition is in good hands.
In the preliminary 7th Grade game the Tigers jumped out to a 13 - 3 first quarter lead. By half time they had a commanding 40 - 11 lead and finished the game winning 50 - 22. The win improves the 7th Grade record to 6 & 5 on the year.
The 8th Grade game was a little closer and by the end of the third quarter the Tigers held a slim three point lead with a score of 26 - 23. We were hoping we didn't jinx the undefeated 8th Graders by showing up but they played good defense and worked the ball on offense to put it away in the fourth. With a final score of Wellsville 37 to Lisbon's 28 the 8th Grade Tigers remain undefeated. Good game guys.
Congratulations to both teams. We know 7th Grade Coach Emery Brewer & 8th Grade Coach Randy Thrasher are both very proud of you. You guys are just as serious and work just as hard as the Varsity.
The Middle School teams return to action next Wednesday, February 3, at Beacom Memorial hosting Crestview. Tip-off for the 7th Graders is 5 P.M. Good luck guys.
