Thoughts on the game: For Pittston Area, Jada Sharp had a good game. She had 16 points. Emma Coles came up big in the second half for the Lady Patriots, scoring nine points in the second half. Lily Savoy also played well, she scored 13. For Wilkes-Barre Area, Allycia Harris had a good game with 17 as did Vanessa Luna who had 11. Both teams impressed me in this matchup. Wilkes-Barre play a tough defense and they can rebound. Pittston Area may have been down in most of this contest, but they were able to pull away in the fourth quarter.
