The Wellsboro Junior High Girls Basketball team suffered a 23-22 loss to North Penn-Liberty Wednesday night.

Trailing 19-12 after the third quarter the young Lady Hornets went on a 10-4 run in the 4th. North Penn-Liberty led 6-4 after the 1st and 13-6 at halftime.

"We didn’t play well in the first half," head coach Darrell Morris said. "The second half we came all the way back to within one and had a few good looks at the end. Even though we fell short, the girls did a lot of things well in the closing minutes and gained some great experience."

Naleyah Greenfield led all scorers on the evening with 14 points. Isobel Kennedy added four and Ella Gehman and Blair Parsons chipped in two points apiece.

Greenfield added 9 rebounds and 2 steals, Ella Satalin had 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Natalie Weaver pitched in 4 steals and 2 rebounds, and Parsons and Gehman each pulled down two boards. Kennedy also made 3 steals.

The young Lady Hornets fall to 1-2 on the season. They are back in action Monday at Williamson.
