Our second event we attended this past Saturday was the WHS Lady Tigers Basketball Team's game against the Lady Knights of Toronto. The game was played in the Tiger's Den and it was all Wellsville from the get go. The Reserves won the first match by a score of 31-25 to set the stage and the Varsity held the Toronto team to only four points after one quarter. They never looked back.
Watching the Varsity Ladies play reminds me of the formers Steelers Coach Chuck Knoll's belief that a winning offense is built on a good defense. For the second game in a row the Orange & Black played in your face defense. The Lady Tigers are living proof that Knoll knew what he was talking about. They stifled East Liverpool with defense and continued with the Lady Knights. Slow down for one second and the Wellsville Ladies are in your face, not to mention Rilee Lavolsi doing a heck of a job under the boards. She recorded five blocks in the game.
The Lady Tigers move to 2&0 on the young season beating Toronto 70-30. Mikyla Tipton took game high honors with 21 points. Meika Dalrymple finished with 15 points. With about six minutes left in the game Head Coach Ed Swogger gave the starting five a rest and finished the game with most of the JV players.
The Lady Tigers return to action Thursday traveling to Jackson Milton. Unfortunately the guys from WHS Sports Station can't afford to cover the game. Like everyone else they are on a tight budget.
Congratulations to the Wellsville Ladies. Good game...
