The Shenango High boys basketball team needed a win and the Wildcats got one in a big way Friday night.

Shenango placed four players in double figures en route to a 74-47 WPIAL Section 3-2A rout of Northgate.

The Wildcats improved to 1-3 in the section and 3-8 overall. The Flames are 0-4 and 4-8.

Josh Young poured in 23 points, including 15 in the first half, while Brandon Bennett added 13, Ty Smith 11 and Colin McQuiston for Shenango. Smith's 15 rebounds gave him a double-double.

The Wildcats jumped out to a 24-10 lead after one quarter, extended it to 47-22 at the half and were never threatened.

"We needed to bounce back, especially coming off a (74-54) loss to Sto-Rox on Tuesday," Shenango coach Bob McQuiston said. "The kids came out and played very aggressively and did a good job of getting to the rim.

"We shot just under 50 percent and put four guys in double digits. That's one thing we've been talking about, having more balanced scoring and tonight we did. It was a good win."
