Our next stop last Saturday was the Beacom Memorial gym to take in the Daw Middle School boy's basketball games. The guys from Daw were taking on the Lisbon Blue Devils. Both the 7th & 8th Grade games were good ones. It's exciting watching the high school teams but it's ensuring to see what's in store on down the road. We feel you get a fairly good idea of what's in store for the next few years of Tiger basketball.
The Daw 7th Grade came out one point short of winning the opening match-up. In a tightly fought contest they lost by a score of 27-26. Wellsville's Demetrius Pullie had game high points with 11. It's only the second loss of the season for the 7th Graders according to Coach Brewer.
The Daw 8th Graders remain undefeated on the year knocking off the Blue Devils by a score of 45-19. The guys came out taking a commanding lead to open the first half and never looked back. Zack Mellott had team high of 10 points in that game.
Meanwhile out in Lisbon the Middle School Ladies were playing the Lady Blue Devils. According to the papers, Wellsville's 7th Grade girls lost the opener by a score of 23-8. The 8th Grade ladies won by a score of 28-20. Angelica Scarabino got a team high 13 points in that one. The 8th Grade is now 7&2 on the season.
The Middle School teams return to action Wednesday, January 19, against the Southern Local Indians. The girls travel out to Southern and the boys play at home in Beacom Memorial. Game time is 5 PM for both.
According to AD Darlene Allison the weather canceled games versus United Local will probably not be made up. United is not a league opponent for the Tigers.
Congratulations on a great season so far for both the ladies & guys. We would say the future of Wellsville basketball is very encouraging.
Go Tigers....
