With two convincing wins in the ITCL Lower Tier Sectional tournament the Lady Tigers earned themselves an opportunity to play in Tuesday evening's semifinals in Lisbon. Last Tuesday they defeated Lowellville in the first round of tournament play. Then last Thursday they sent East Canton home winning 3-1 in that match.
Wellsville's record for the season is now 17-7. Tuesday night they face the 15&8 Jackson Milton Lady Jays. The match will be played in Lisbon's Gym A starting at 7 P.M. The winner of Tuesday's game will advance to Thursday's sectional finals.
Needless to say the match next Tuesday will be huge. The Ladies seem to be focused on one game at a time and we're confident that will hold true Tuesday night.
Good Luck Ladies. We're pulling for you with prayers, wishes and crossed fingers. You're the pride of the Village. Go get 'em...
Before closing we would like to congratulated Noelle Amato for her selection to the Columbiana County Volleyball All-Stars first team and to Rilee Livolsi & McKenna Pierson for their honorable mentions on the same team. Those three ladies are pictured here.

How do they determine who gets nominated for all-star teams? While I think the young ladies that made it are deserving, I also read Maleya Fultz and Shawntae Dillard's names in the paper virtually every game. You mean to tell me that they can't even get Honorable Mention? This is an injustice.
That All-Star list was published in The Review. You'll have to ask their Sports Editors how the selection was made. Since it wasn't in the Morning Journal we have a feeling it was a Review thing.
Personally we think the whole team should have made the list. We're fairly new to volleyball but it is quite impressive when Shawntae & Maleya come up will kills. We're Tiger fans but we also think Sarah Skinner does a heck of a job on blocks. They all do it with authority. As you indicated there are many names listed in the newspaper accounts of the matches.
There will be other lists to come.

This list of all stars were voted on by all the volleyball coaches from the county. The Review and Morning Journal will also have all star teams selected I believe by their sports editors. I think the ICTL will also have a all star team.So, hopefully we will get more girls on these other all star teams.
