"Playing at Wyalusing is always tough, and playing at noon before the JV game I was a little worried we'd have a slow start," head coach John Davis said. "I knew they (Wyalusing) would play us physical and the game would not be decided until the second half. However, being down 7 going into the fourth quarter was a little unexpected. The girls didn't panic and played great team basketball down the stretch."
