Last year, Wellsville ended Central Heights’ bid for a perfect run in Pioneer League girls’ basketball play. The Vikings wouldn’t be denied this time. It certainly wasn’t pretty, but Central Heights found a way to cap off a perfect 10-0 run in league with a 37-29 road victory over the Eagles on Tuesday. “We did not play to our potential, and Wellsville came ready to play,” Central Heights coach David Clayton said. “It was a grind the whole night, but we found a way to win.” Viking post players Katelin Horstick and Marissa Cox did their parts to propel Central Heights to victory, scoring 14 and 12 points, respectively. Central Heights (16-4) went just 3 of 10 from the free-throw line, but made up for that by shooting 46 percent (17 of 37) from the field, and as a result, led 14-12 after one quarter and 24-18 at halftime. Wellsville’s defense limited Central Heights to just four third-quarter points, but the Vikings used a 9-4 run in the fourth to pull away for the victory. Substate tournament brackets were released Wednesday. Central Heights earned a No. 2 seed in next week’s 3A tournament and will play host to Council Grove (6-14) at 7 p.m. Monday. Burlington (19-1) is the top seed. Semifinals will take place Friday and the championship game Saturday, all in Eureka.
