Senior Ty Morral scored a career-high 15 points, sophomore Isaac Keane had 13, and sophomore Liam Manning recorded his 4th double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Freshman Conner Adams scored 9 points, sophomore Darryn Callahan added 4 points, senior Tyren Wetzel drained a three-pointer late in the game, senior Daniel Mitchell pitched in 2 points, and senior Carson Davis rounded out the scoring with a point.
Keane added 8 rebounds and 3 steals to his point total, Grab had 5 steals and 3 assists, Callahan contributed 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Morral had 3 rebounds, and Adams had 4 rebounds, 4 steals, and 4 assists.
In the JV game the Hornets pulled off a 47-45 overtime win for their 2nd straight win to even up their record at 5-5. Freshman Peyton McClure and sophomore Drew Manning each had 12 points to lead Wellsboro.
