WHS Ladies Go To 7 & 11

Saturday - February 13: While the guys were teaching Toronto how to play basketball the Lady Tigers were in Sebring playing a make-up game that was cancelled February 5. Unfortunately the outcome wasn't quite as good. They dropped a 13 point decision to a towering Lady Trojan team. Sebring has a young lady that is head & shoulders taller than the tallest Lady Tiger. She is a dominating force under the basket.

Saturday's game was twice the Lady Tigers went up against Sebring in nine days. Area leading scorer Mikyla Tipton led the Wellsville scoring with 23 points and Meika Dalrymple tossed in another 19. None of Dalrymple's points were three pointers. According to the newspaper Irene Kiser had the only trey in her 10 points for the Tigers. Rilee Livolsi was the fourth Lady Tiger to hit double digit scoring with her 10 points. That's showing some nice balance for the Ladies. Courtney Cook chipped in another four points and Sarah Drysdale & Maleya Fultz each had two.

There was no J.V. action in that game. The Ladies travel to East Palestine tomorrow and return home for a make-up game against Southern Local Thursday evening, February 18, to wrap up their regular season. On Saturday they travel to Hubbard to take on Ashtabula's Sts. John & Paul to open up their District play in the tournament.

Good Luck Ladies! We're behind you all the way.

In other basketball news the 7th & 8th Graders began tournament play this past Saturday. We understand the 7th Grade girls drew a bye and we don't know what the 8th Grade Ladies did out at Southern. The 7th Grade Boys ended their season with a loss to Leetonia Saturday. The 8th Grade Boys remain undefeated with a 53 - 16 win over Leetonia. They will play Southern Local in the semi-final at Leetonia, Thursday at 6:15. We also do not know what the 9th Graders did vs. Lisbon Saturday at Mineral Ridge. Maybe someone can fill us in on those unknowns. If it was in the paper we missed it.

Again, Good Luck to everybody.
