Alex Wesneski scores 1,000 points<\/p><\/div>\n

Athlete of the Week: Alex Wesneski<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By Shane Holcombe \u201823<\/span><\/h4>\n

Alex Wesneski added the title of 1,000 point scorer to her already sensational athletic career at Sem. Sem defeated Tunkhannock last Wednesday 61-45, with Wesneski leading the way with 23 points and four steals. Wesneski reached 1,000 points in the third quarter when she took the ball to the basket on a fast break to score on a layup. Wesneski was congratulated by her teammates, parents, and friends when she reached 1,000 and has led the Lady Blues to an 11-5 record in conference; the team is also on the top of the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 3. The Optinator wishes the Lady Blues good luck for the rest of the season, and, as always, GO BLUE KNIGHTS!<\/span><\/p>\n
