Over the last two years, the Clinton High School Girls Basketball team won a combined six games. At the rate they are going now, they may have more than six wins by the end of the month. Shelbyville isn't the toughest competition in the Okaw Valley this year by a long shot, but for Clinton, Thursday night's 57-41 win over the Rams was a blowout. And not the kind they are used to. This time, they were in control.
Meghan Matthews had 15 points, which is no surprise because of the experience she has. But Alicia Mitchell, who may be the hardest worker on the team had a career night, totaling 13 points.
A 15-0 run during the late first and early second quarter erased a 5-0 Shelbyville lead.
Will Clinton win the conference this year? No. Will they be above .500? Iffy. Are they better than they were last year? Absolutely. And most importantly, are they headed in the right direction? Without a doubt.
Josh Williams has done a great job as head coach so far but even he will tell you "they have along way to go."
The team does have a long way to go, but they are off to a good start.
