MAHANOY CITY – The Lady Bears are moving on to the District XI title game, after a dominating home performance against Williams Valley.
Mahanoy Area, the #1 seed, took an early lead over the Vikings and never looked back.
The Bears held a 9-0 advantage before the Vikings scored a single point — literally, from a free throw — late in the first quarter.
Williams Valley quickly added another two points to the board, as did Mahanoy, giving the Bears an 11-3 advantage entering the second.
At halftime, Mahanoy held a 17-8 lead.
The gap remained largely unchanged by the end of the third, with the score 35-27, though Mahanoy’s lead totaled in the double digits at one point in the third.
Mahanoy opened the lead up again, to 15 points, by the end of the game, giving the Bears a 54-39 victory to punch their ticket to Martz Hall.
The Bears will face the #2-seed Battlin’ Miners of Minersville on Saturday at Martz Hall.
