The Wellsboro Middle School Basketball teams concluded their seasons on Tuesday, March 16 with a pair of wins over Williamson.

"The girls had something to prove," head coach Janelle Tombs said. "In the second half, they showed it by going after the ball nonstop. Overall it was a great team win with every member doing their part. I am proud of their Hornet Pride and how they represented."

"We got off to a very slow start, which is always concerning," said head coach Kyle Smith, "but the boys found another gear in the second half and played very determined basketball. Tonight we got some key contributions from our bench players and it gave us the spark we needed."
