Whenever @wellsvillelions plays in @SecVBBasketball Class B Qualifier, it is an instant classic. That was case in 2015 vs. Keith McGee, Devante Hagins and Leadership Academy. It was also the case tonight for @maxjuice2002 and company. Plus, Aric Williams is also very athletic. pic.twitter.com/dpdZQgP1Mq
