AUSTIN — Austin suffered its first North Tier League setback in a 42-36 home loss to Port Allegany on Monday night.

Also for Austin, which made four 3-pointers on the night, Skylar Crawford scored 11 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Joseph Glover added eight boards.

Non-league
Johnsonburg 53, Smethport 28
JOHNSONBURG — Austin Green scored 16 points as Johnsonburg overcame a slow start to top Smethport in non-league play.
The Rams (3-2) trailed Smethport 7-6 after the first quarter, but held the Hubbers (1-2) to just four points in the second quarter en route to a 22-11 halftime lead.
“The second quarter, we just couldn’t make shots,” said Smethport head coach Jay Acker. “We had opportunities, they just didn’t go in. (Johnsonburg) extended their lead, and it was tough coming back from that.”
In the second half, the Rams outpaced Smethport 31-17 to grow their lead to the eventual 25-point margin.
Green’s 16 points were a game high, and Gabe Watts added 12 for Jburg, which snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory.
“Johnsonburg is really good. Green is a really good player,” Acker said. He later added, “Turnovers really hurt us tonight, too. There were a lot of unforced errors.”
The Hubbers were led by Layne Shall’s 10 points. Connor Alfieri added eight.
Both teams are in action tonight, as Johnsonburg visits Kane and Smethport hosts Galeton.
