WHEELERSBURG 80, EAST LIVERPOOL 67
Wheelersburg (7-0, 4-0 in SOC II) rounded out their trip to East Liverpool with a victory over host East Liverpool in the Potter Holiday Classic.
The story coming out of this one is none other than Tanner Holden. The Wright State signee and senior Pirate dropped 50 points and 20+ rebounds in Wheelersburg’s win, a career high and what is believed to be a school record at Wheelersburg. Also leading the Pirates in scoring was Trent Salyers and J.J. Truitt who each had 14 points.
Wheelersburg will face off against Valley next Friday night at home before travelling to Portsmouth next Saturday night to face the Trojans.
