Monday – February 7: The Wellsville Freshman Basketball team wrapped up their season yesterday undefeated for their shortened season. They hosted the Sebring Trojans in the Tiger's Den. After the first quarter it was no contest.
The Sebring team was leading 13-12 after one quarter. Then the Tigers went on a 26-6 scoring streak in the second quarter taking a 38-19 lead into the locker room at the half. For all intents and purposes it was over. Sebring never mounted a challenge after that. At the end of three quarters it was Wellsville 54-30. The Tigers held the Trojans to one point in the fourth finishing with a 67-31 victory.
There were no reports in the morning papers. We don't have any individual stats but for the few of us in the stands it was an exciting game.
The Wellsville 9th Graders started out the season with a 16 game schedule only to wind up playing 9 games. One school didn't have a coach for a Freshman team. Another didn't have a Freshman team. Together they accounted for four cancellations. The rest were snow day cancellations that were not made up. There's no play-offs for just 9th Graders.
Congratulations to Coach Dave Thompson, Jr., John Stokes and all the players on the team. You had a great season and we're proud of you.

Ahhh, We were given the wrong info a few weeks ago by one of the other coaches. We'll withhold his name to protect his otherwise fine reputation!
Thanks for setting us straight. We believe that this team is playing way above their expected skill level and will do well in the tournament. They are exciting to watch.
