The Clinton boys’ basketball team (4-2 overall) seems to have found its game-togame rhythm since the Weatherford Tournament, carrying over that momentum into a 62-37 win against Altus (2-6) Tuesday at home.
CACHE – Even though the No. 12 Clinton wrestling team (0-1 overall, 0-1 in district) wasn’t at full strength healthwise, it nearly managed to pull off a big upset, falling 39-32 to No. 7 Cache (4-0, 1-0) Tuesday.
ARAPAHO – No trophies or awards were handed out for Arapaho-Butler basketball’s annual Western Equipment Tournament-turnedfestival this past weekend, but the No. 3 A-B boys notched one major achievement, reaching 11-0 for the first time in this prolonged run of success.
WEATHERFORD – In a Weatherford Tournament headlined by multiple ranked teams and state tourney contenders, Clinton’s basketball teams managed to log a 2-1 mark, earning a couple plaques in the process.
WEATHERFORD – The Clinton girls’ basketball team entered the fourth quarter, leading 27-22, and with the pressure on to maintain that lead, they played winning basketball, sinking timely buckets and avoiding turnovers, in a 39-32 win over Duncan Thursday in the opening round of the Weatherford Tourney.
ARAPAHO – Sweep city is what the Arapaho-Butler basketball program has been across the last two seasons, and it picked up No. 17 in that span, with a beat down of both Sweetwater squads Tuesday night at home.
Tuesday night’s win made it back-to-back sweeps for the Clinton basketball program against rival Elk City, with the CHS squads taking down the rival Elks for the secondstraight season at the Tornado Dome.
NORMAN – Walkons don’t get the easy route to the top, and Clinton grad and current Oklahoma defensive tackle Reed Lindsey knows that.
At this point, the Clinton basketball teams are beginning to hit midseason form with six games under their belts and numerous practice/ scrimmage reps, however the teams played just one game each before Christmas break – that’ll change in a hurry this week.
