Antuono Scores 32, Wolverines Power Past Mohawk

Steve Antuono scored a game high 32 points to lead the Ellwood City Wolverines to its 78-45 romp over Mohawk Friday night.

The junior connected on six 3-pointers, including four in the second half, to pace the Wolverines offensive attack.  Antuono scored 11 points in the fast paced first quarter which saw Ellwood City take an early 24-8 advantage.

Second quarter contributions by senior Sam DiCaprio (8 points) and freshman Joey Roth (6 points) helped the offensive attack in putting Ellwood City comfortably ahead 45-30 at halftime.

Roth finished with 20 points and DiCaprio finished with 13 points, both joining Antuono in double-figures. Senior Ryan Gibbons also splashed a 3-pointer en route to his nine point scoring effort for the victors.

The fast paced game only afforded itself a combined six free throw attempts by both teams.  Ellwood City finished 3-4 from the free throw line while the visiting Warriors were 2-2 from the stripe.

Jay Michael Wrona finished with a team-high 14 points (4 3-pointers) for Mohawk in defeat.

Ellwood City (6-4 overall, 4-3 Section 1-3A) will travel to Beaver Falls on Tuesday night for a section match-up. The Wolverines will look to avenge their 55-52 loss to the Tigers in January.
