JoJo France climbs Pitt-Greensburg basketball scoring list, Max Millin places for Edinboro wrestling
JoJo France needed a big effort to move into second place on the Pitt-Greensburg’s career scoring list – and he got it.
The 6-foot senior guard from Manchester High School scored 30 points in an 86-83 loss to Hilbert on Jan. 4 and came back with 26 points in a 78-65 win over Alfred State last Saturday. That gave him 1,550 points and France trails only Jason Troup, who finished with a school-record 2,100 points.
France added onto his total by scoring 27 points in a 79-75 loss to Penn State Altoona on Jan. 11, and 12 points and six assists in a 66-63 win over Behrend on Jan. 14. He leads the Bobcats (6-9, 2-2) and is second in the Allegheny Mountain College Conference in scoring with a 22.2 average. He has connected on 40 of 110 3-point attempts (36.4%). He’s also averaging 3.6 rebounds, leads the team with 32 assists and is second in steals with 16. Last Monday, France was named AMCC Player of the Week, Jan. 9.
Luke Reicosky (Hoover) The senior has moved up a weight but that hasn’t slowed the John Carroll standout on the wrestling mat. Reicosky earned All-American honors at 157 pounds when he finished seventh in the Division III NCAA Tournament as a sophomore. He posted an 83-23 record in that weight class his first three years with the Blue Streaks. This season, Reicosky is competing at 165 pounds, but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He’s 19-1 with four falls, a technical fall and seven major decisions. He has won two tournaments – the Trine Invitational and the North Central Invitational. He lost 3-2 in the title match at the Rochester Tech Invitational. His career record is 102-24.
Logan Shepherd (Perry) The true freshman is one of four competitors at 285 pounds for the Bucknell (Pa.) wrestling team. He has posted a 7-8 record and is 1-0 in dual matches. That came with a 23-8 major decision in his team's 33-6 win over Sacred Heart on Dec. 16. He also has a technical fall. Shepherd and the Bison kicked off the second semester at the Southern Shuffle Jan. 1-2 in Chattanooga, Tenn. He wrestled in two matches and lost against a pair of upperclassmen.
Andre Leavell (McKinley) The 6-2 sophomore guard is having a solid all-around season for the Arkansas Tech men’s basketball team (7-5, 5-1 in the Great American Conference). He scored a game-high 19 points in a 68-60 league win over East Central, Jan. 7. On the season, Leavell is third on the team in scoring (10.0) and rebounding (4.6). He leads the Wonder Boys in assists with 36 and is second in steals with 14. He had a season-high 21 points in a 73-64 league win over Henderson State on Dec. 12.
Max Millin (Perry) The junior finished fourth at 285 pounds for the Edinboro (Pa.) wrestling team at the college’s own Bobby Hoffman Open, Jan. 9. Millin won a 4-0 decision in the first round but lost a 5-3 decision in the second round. He then moved to the consolation bracket and posted a decision and a major decision before taking a bout on a medical forfeit to reach the third-place match. He dropped that 4-2 against Nolan Neves of Blair Academy to finish fourth,
Marissa Berlin (Green) The 6-3 junior forward is coming off the bench for the Davis & Elkins (W.Va.) women’s basketball team (3-9, 3-5 Mountain East Conference). Berlin had six points and 11 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action in a 73-64 league loss to Charleston, Jan. 7. On the season, she’s averaging 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds and leads the team with eight blocked shots. She had a career-high 20 points in an 88-75 victory over Frostburg on Nov. 22.
Anika Dansby (Massillon) The 5-4 senior point guard has started all 15 games for the Waynesburg (Pa.) women’s basketball team (2-13, 2-8 Presidents’ Athletic Conference). Dansby leads the Yellow Jackets in assists with 34, while averaging 6.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game along with 11 total steals. She had a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) with four assists in a 68-56 league win over Franciscan on Jan. 5.
Anthony Mazzeo (Jackson) The 6-3 senior guard had team highs of 21 points and eight rebounds as the Baldwin Wallace men’s basketball team opened the second half of the season with an 89-76 OAC win over Muskingum, Jan. 7. Mazzeo leads the Yellow Jackets (7-7, 3-4) in scoring with an 18.2 average, and has hit 34 of 97 3-point attempts (35.1%). He is also averaging 4.9 rebounds and has 27 assists through 14 games.
Anna Lippiatt (West Branch) The 5-10 freshman forward has played in all 14 games with nine starts for the Muskingum women’s basketball team (4-10, 1-6 OAC). Lippiatt is averaging 6.7 points and 2.4 rebounds with 14 assists and five steals.
