We did a great job of weathering the storm when they made a couple late runs.  I was proud of our seniors tonight. They really led the team.  It seemed like every time we needed a bucket or a stop one of them came through for us. Maddy, Kyra, and Courtney all played outstanding games tonight. Katelyn Truax is an absolute load inside and to hold a player of her caliber to 7 points says something about our kids effort.” JV FR 39 – McConnellsburg 31 Hannah Skiles and Quincy McMath each scored 14 to lead Forbes.
