The Wellsboro Boys Middle School Basketball Team lost to North Penn Mansfield Saturday by a final score of 38-25 on Saturday, February 13. Both teams started off slowly, but the visiting Tigers led 17-8 at halftime and pulled away in the second half for the victory.

"We are thankful to finally play a game and we will need to make adjustments throughout the season. We are excited to work with this group of boys moving forward. They have the potential to be a good basketball team."

Micaiah Fitch paced the hornets with 7 points, Marek Mascho scored 5, E.J. Keck, Mitchel Lechler and Micah Vickery all had 3 points and Drayden McGee and Braeden Abernathy both added 2 points.
