“We are good offensively.” WHS coach Blaine Maddox confirmed his team won the turnover battle 23-9 and will play host to Logan on Friday. He said: “We have a lot of players who can score and step up, but we have to take care of the ball more and continue to play hard.
“Belpre is getting better and better. We had a great game and Sealy had a great shooting night. It was great team ball. Everybody got a little bit of everything tonight. He’s a big guy, but he got to the boards well and really dominated the boards.”
Belpre head coach Ryan Leasure’s team took the lead with a second goal on a make by Copen, and Nasiah Spencer’s lay-in cut the lead to 20-12 with 6:20 left in the first half.

“I’d like to start indoors.” Coach Maddox added Stadelman had a game-high five assists and Sealy had four steals. “We wanted to go early. You can always shoot three shots. Sometimes you have to let them push the ball a little bit.
“We have four or five outside shooters locked up and ready to fire. It’s hard to get everyone in and get minutes, but a lot of people deserve minutes and just have a good night. was.”
The Golden Eagles opened the second half with a field goal by Liston, but the hosts then committed three consecutive turnovers.
“We talked about their pressure, and they put shitty pressure on us until you stepped on the court tonight.” Recognized leisure coach. “We couldn’t do anything. They took us out of the game. They pushed us away.
“They were more physical and won all the 50-on-50 balls. There was nothing we could do. Our players panicked a little bit, so we had to get our patience back and get our rhythm back. I couldn’t get it back.”
A putback by Wells closed the scoring in the third, giving the Warriors a commanding 66-32 advantage.
Thirty seconds into the fourth after the running clock started, Stadelman made a deep three from the side.
“There are two things we can do. We can pout about it, or we can improve.” Coach Ledger added. “We can pout about it, we can improve. We’ve got to get better. We’ve got a good team. Coach Maddox is one of the best coaches not only in our area but in the state. And Coach Warren is consistently one of the best programs in the state.
“Playing them consistently and increasing the quality of that program is a challenge for us and for our school. Coach Maddox is a great coach and always prepares his players. We want that challenge. Unfortunately, we were not able to rise to this opportunity.”
