The Domination Continues For Hopewell’s Gold Team as They Overwhelm Quaker Valley, 55-25
The Hopewell Junior High Gold Basketball team improved their record to 6-1 this afternoon following a 55-25 win over Quaker Valley.
Unlike yesterday’s game vs. West Allegheny, today’s contest was never in doubt as Coach Biega was able to use his entire bench, including playing the second team the entire 4th quarter.
This was a nice way to end the week as they’ll have to be ready for two tough games next week against Montour and then Sewickley Academy.
