(By Coach Dave Constantino)

Clarion Sweeps Clarion-Limestone To Conclude Season

“A” Game – Clarion 28 C-L 6

Clarion exploded offensively in the second half, outscoring C-L 20-2, on their way to a season ending 28-6 victory over their neighbors, on Friday (December 19). Clarion struggled offensively in the first half to put the ball in the basket and managed only an 8-4 lead at the half. However, things changed in the third quarter as the Lady Cats used an aggressive defense to create turnovers which led to easy baskets.
