Wednesday – January 19: The WHS Freshman Basketball Team traveled upriver this past Wednesday and put a whooping on the East Liverpool 9th Graders. This is only the second time this year we have been able to catch a Freshman game. We were impressed the first time and our opinion hasn't change after taking in our second game.
The visiting Tigers closed out the 1st quarter leading 12-8 and took a 24-17 lead into the locker room at half time. At the end of three that lead had increased to 40-25 and by the time the buzzer sounded at the end of the game the score was Wellsville 57-38. The win improves the Freshman record to 7&0 on the year. Congratulations guys. We like the way you play the game with all the hustle.
The 9th Grade team is coached by Dave Thompson Jr. and Assistant Coach John Stoakes. The team was suppose to have traveled to Jackson Milton Thursday afternoon but that game was canceled with the icy weather conditions. It is uncertain if that game will be made up. Weather permitting they should get back to action next Thursday, January 27 hosting Lowellville in the Tiger's Den. Game time is 6 PM.
The 9th Graders remain undefeated along with the Daw Middle School 8th Graders. Did we ever mention that the future of Wellsville basketball looks very promising?!!!
