BRITTON DEERFIELD SCHOOLS: 40

The Clinton Redskin JV boys basketball team came away victorious in their last Friday night home game of the year by defeating Britton-Deerfield by a score of 65-40.  The boy's teams will move to playing Tuesday's and Thursday's for the remainder of the season, while the girls will play on Tuesday's and Friday's.

The Redskins jumped out to a nine point first quarter lead as five Redskins found the scoring column.  Britton-Deerfield was able to hang tough in the second quarter, although the Redskins had extended their lead to 11 points.  The Patriots were able to keep it close to begin the third quarter and cut the Redskin lead to single digits on a couple of occasions.  However, after a timeout midway though the third quarter, the Redskins went on a 7-0 run to build a 45-27 advantage heading the fourth quarter.  There was more of the same in the fourth as Clinton outscored B-D 20-13 to win by the 25 point final margin.  

Eric Briggs came off the bench to finish with a game high 13 points.  Makai Cruz added 11 points on the night.  Tommy Burt pulled down a team high 15 points to go with 7 points.  Davey Campbell went a perfect 4-4 from the floor to finish with 8 points.  Jacob Huddleston had 7 points and 9 rebounds.  

The bench production of the Redskins was essential in extending their lead in the second half.  To go with Briggs' 13 points, Ridge Ahrens added 7 points, Ethan Herington and Zach Kovach each had 4 points, while Matt Johnson and Josh Schaffner each had 2 points.

The win improved the JV team's record to 6-4 overall and 6-1 in the TCC.  The Redskins will begin the second round of TCC play next Tuesday as they will travel to Whitmore Lake.  The game is set to begin at 5:30 PM with the varsity game to follow.
