HORNETS DOMINATE BLOOMSBURG

Sophomore running back Chase Moser rushed for 197 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Wellsboro Varsity Football team over Bloomsburg 35-7 during Homecoming on Friday, October 16.

Wellsboro head coach Matt Hildebrand was very please with his young running back’s performance on the night.

“He’s a young kid who has grown up in every game we’ve played this year. The more touches he gets the better he looks out there,” Hildebrand said. “He made some phenomenal cuts out of the gate to get himself in the end zone. I’m very pleased with him and expect big things out of him moving forward.”

LADY HORNETS TIE TROY ON SENIOR NIGHT

The Wellsboro Varsity Girls Soccer team tied Troy 1-1 on their Senior Night on Tuesday, October 20.

Troy scored first with 30:37 remaining in the first half on a goal by Riley McClellan to make it 1-0. The Lady Hornets rallied later on in the half as freshman Julia Smith scored off a throw-in by junior Kelsey Logan and assist from senior Sarah Ingerick to tie it at 1-1 with 19:47 left.

Neither team would score for the remainder of regulation, so the game went into overtime. Again, neither team could manage a goal, although both team’s had their chances, so the game ended in a 1-1 draw after 100 minutes.

BACK TO BASICS – THE FEAR OF MAN

What does it mean to fear man? It has little do with the fear that another person is going to harm you — although, that may at times be true.

The fear I’m referring to has more to do with what other people think about you. I like John Bunyan’s described the fear of man as “the fear of losing man’s favor, love, goodwill, help, and friendship.”

In simpler terms, you and I have an innate desire to earn and keep the approval of others.

HORNETS WIN RECORD-BREAKING GAME

The Wellsboro Varsity Boys Soccer team made history during Senior Night with a 9-0 victory over Northeast Bradford on Thursday, October 22.

The win gave the Hornets their best ever regular season record in the program’s history with 15 wins. Also, junior Josiah Hill scored four first-half goals for his 35th on the season and 50th of his career. Only Darby Alafoginis (57) has more for a career.

“It was a total team effort and hopefully this will be a spring board into districts,” said head coach John Shaffer. “The boys played very well tonight to earn their 15th win of the year, that is a program record for regular season wins. Also, Josiah scored his 50th goal of his career tonight, which is very impressive for a junior.”
