Tuesday - February 23: This past Tuesday evening the WHS Tiger Basketball team hosted the Sebring Trojans on Tiger Drive. Sacrificed would probably be a better word than hosted. By the final buzzer the Tigers notched win #17 in their pistol grips with a 72 - 45 win over the Trojans.
At the end of one the Tigers had a seven point lead over Sebring. It increased to 11 points at the half, 20 points at the end of three and ended with a 27 point difference. Once again Coach Thompson cleared the bench and sent in the Reserves toward the end of the fourth quarter. Sebring was done. There was no fight left in them.
Wellsville had three players score in double figures. Jeremy Carter & Jalen DeSarro both recorded double-doubles. Carter finished the game with a Tiger high of 18 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. DeSarro wracked up 16 points and 10 rebounds. Even with the Trojans being in his face all night Mike Johnston still put 13 points on the board. Johnston hit on the Tigers only 3-pointer for the night.
The J.V.s also brought home another win with a 41 -34 victory. Sean Hudson had 13 points in that game for the Tigers.
The Tigers will wrap up the regular season tomorrow evening, Friday, hosting the Indians of Southern Local. It's a make-up game originally scheduled for February 9 that was postponed with the snows.
Remember the Big Orange Machine? It might be time to bring it out of the moth balls.

I had to ask my husband what the Big Orange Machine was, sounds like it would be neat to have something like that again. Lights out, introduce the players in a spotlight, that would be so dramatic. It is disheartening that we don't have more of a following, with a win record of 17-2 it does not make sense that more people don't come out to support the boys and our school.
