STEUBENVILLE The Steubenville girls basketball team easily had a size advantage over Beaver Local, and it took full advantage on Wednesday.
Big Red collected 28 more rebounds than the Beavers, limited its turnovers and drove to the paint at will for a 54-33 victory to conclude the Watt/Nese Holiday Basketball Classic.
“It wasn’t just about the kids on the floor. Everybody got involved and cheered their teammates on and encouraging them,” Big Red head coach Angie Forte said. “That makes a big difference with the morale of the team. The girls came into the game with confidence. We had good performances from everybody even if they didn’t score.”
