Last Friday evening the WHS Tigers men's basketball team opened the 2010/2011 season with an very impressive victory. The Tigers scored the first basket in the game and never once trailed the Beaver Local Beavers in the course of the game. The closest the Beavers got was within one point in the second.
The Tigers closed out the first quarter leading 14-12. Early in the second it was Wellsville 16-14. With about 5 minutes left in the 2nd the Beavers made it WHS 20-19 before the Tiger five started pulling away. Going into the locker room at the half it was Tigers 35-25. At the end of three the Tigers had a 17 point advantage on the scoreboard. Then they piled it on finishing the game with a 74-28 season opening victory on the road.
With a little over 2 minutes left in the game Head Coach Bug Thompson cleared the bench giving the younger players some Varsity experience. High point honors went to Jalen DeSarro with 23 points closely followed by Mike Johnston with 20. Between them, DeSarro & Johnston, pictured here, nearly equaled the Beaver's total points. Sean Hudson sank 11 points with Michael Kapp adding another 10.
We listened to the game on WHS Sports Station and was impressed with the Tigers play. From what we heard Wellsville had a slight height advantage over the home team and dominated the boards. The Tigers found some things to work on in practice but over all it was an exciting game. Congratulations guys.
Wellsville returns to action this coming Friday traveling to Jackson Milton. They open at home on Tuesday, December 14.
Go Tigers...
