CLINTON - Points were hard to come by Thursday night as the Clinton Lady Maroons fell to conference rival Tuscola 41-28.
Clinton took an early 4-2 lead, but would not lead the rest of the game. The Warriors went on a 7-0 run and led 13-6 after the first. The Lady Maroons' offensive troubles continued in the second, only scoring four Brooklyn Gregory points.
Most of what plagued the offense was unforced turnovers. Meghan Matthews was not having a great night, nobody was. The Clinton defense forced enough turnovers to give the offense opportunities they never cashed in.
Gregory led the team in scoring with 13 points.
With two losses in a row, the Lady Maroons drop to 3-5 in the Okaw Valley. They are still much better than they were a year ago, but they must not be happy with the way things have gone this week.
After a tough loss to Tolono in which they competed for three quarters, the Lady Maroons responded with perhaps their worst game of the year.
Faced with the first big challenge of the Josh Williams era, the Lady Maroons now much show they are tough enough to rebound from a bad game and have no carryover.
I think they will be fine.
