Wilson Pulls Away From Reading High 57-34
Written by: Bruce Badgley on December 20, 2019
(Reading) It did not feel like a league opener Friday Night when Wilson and Reading High met at the Geigle Complex. A packed house. A gym filled with current and former Berks County Athletes. A game that had the feel of a post season win or go home tilt. It was an intense atmosphere to say the least. After a back and forth first half, Wilson dominated the second half. The Bulldogs came way with a solid 57-34 victory over Reading High.
Stevie Mitchell once again led the a Bulldogs with 22 points. Evan Timochenko who played well on both ends of the floor had 11. Denim Adams paced Reading High with 12.
Both teams came out tight on offense but defensively it was “game on” out of the blocks.
