HORNETS TOP WYALUSING, 21-13
The Wellsboro Varsity Football team won its final home game of the season as they hung on to beat Wyalusing 21-13 on Friday, October 23.

“It wasn’t our prettiest win, but it is a win,” said Wellsboro head coach Matt Hildebrand. “I’m looking back and second guessing myself on some of the coaching decisions I made but we controlled the ball very well tonight. We didn’t put the ball in the end zone there towards the end, but our defense came up big with more great plays and we got the win and that’s all that matters moving forward.”
