Our team is so inexperienced right now, Wyoming Valley West head coach George Reimiller said. We have a whole bunch of young kids and some veteran players, but they dont want to play as a team. When we dont play as a team, you see what happens. <\/p>\n
Tim Toro led Abington Heights with 14 points and seven rebounds. Clay Basalyga chipped in with nine points, six rebounds, six assists, and six steals. <\/p>\n
We were in a trapping defense and our coach always stresses communication on defense so we were all talking and playing with a lot of energy, Basalyga said. It really worked for us today. <\/p>\n
