The Wellsboro Varsity Girls Basketball team's woes continued as they lost 54-25 to Montoursville on Tuesday, December 11 for their third consecutive loss.

"Turnovers took us out of the game," said head coach Maureen Poirier. "The girls played hard and never gave up. The team finally rebounded well but then didn't take care of the ball."
