The Quaker Valley boys basketball team, after dominant victories over Brashear and Vincentian Academy at the season-opening Moon tournament, continues its early-season run at home Tuesday against 5A Albert Gallatin.

Last year’s WPIAL 4A runner-up and state semifinalist also will host District 10’s Wilmington on Friday before its Section 2 opener at Beaver Area on Dec. 18.

The Quakers averaged 61.5 points scored in the tournament wins over the weekend and limited their opponents to a 38.5 per-game average.

Panthers hope to put one in win column

After a pair of tough losses at the Baldwin/Peters Township tournament over the weekend, the Sewickley Academy boys basketball team hopes to bounce back Tuesday in nonsection action against Serra Catholic.

The Panthers suffered a close setback to North Catholic (70-65) in the opener last Friday and fell to 6A Butler 71-56 in their second game Saturday.

The 2017-18 WPIAL 2A champion and PIAA semifinalist begins Section 3 play Friday at home against Mohawk.

Sewickley Academy travels to Geneva College on Saturday for The Clash II against Akron Coventry, Ohio. Game time is set for 6 p.m.
