At the Addison Christmas Tournament, Cowanesque defeated Arkport-Cansarega, 58-43. After leading by just one entering the second quarter (8-7), the Indians proceeded to score 14, 18 and 18 through the next three quarters to pull away and led 22-15 at the half.

Levi Stahli led Cowanesque with 17 points and both Josh Teague and Ashtyn Burdick contributed 10 apiece.

A 22-point fourth quarter put the game away for Towanda as the Black Knights beat Sullivan County at home, 59-29. The Griffins were limited to just two points in the final quarter.

Kameron Lightner was just shy of a triple-double as she had 15 rebounds, nine points, eight steals and three blocks.

A scoreless first quarter put Cowanesque Valley into a 12-point hole that it couldn’t claw back from as the Indians lost to Dundee/Bradford at the Addison Christmas Tournament, 55-18. The Indians were limited to single digits all four quarters. Starr Ordway led Cowanesque with a nine-point effort.
