Wilson girls basketball avoided back-to-back first round exits in the state tournament with their 51-46 win against Upper Dublin last Friday, but they didn’t want that to be their mark of success.
Heading into their second round matchup with Archbishop Carroll, their goal of state champions remained the same. However, they would find out early that they would be in for a fight all night with the back and forth of the first half.
