Belle Vernon Area senior Rachel Wobrak knew she wanted her senior night to be a game to remember.

It ended up being a game she and her teammates, and Elizabeth Forward would never forget for different reasons.

Wobrak walked off the Belle Vernon gymnasium floor after posting 26 points and 10 rebounds as the Leopards squashed the Warriors’ playoff hopes with a come-from-behind 58-48 win in Section 3-4A play.

BVA (16-6, 9-5) rallied to outscore EF, 40-18, in the second half after trailing by 12 at halftime.

“I don’t really think there was any adjustments on the court for us,” BVA head coach Ronnie Drennen said. “The biggest adjustment was in our own heads. The first half was a lack of execution, lack of communication and we had to battle some adversity with all the fouls.

“But I’m really proud of the response we had in the second half.”
