The Community R-6 girls couldn’t hold their lead on Nov. 21.

Community (1-1) scored 12 points in the final 16 minutes while Wellsville (1-0) had 18 points in the fourth quarter to erase a 22-14 Community halftime lead.
“We will bounce back,” head coach Bob Curtis said. “We have some things to work on and we will be grinding to get better everyday at practice. Wellsville has a very veteran crew that will have a lot of wins this season with all the talent that they have.”
