The Clinton Redskins junior varsity basketball team closed out their 2018 campaign victorious after defeating Whiteford at home by a score of 59-45.  Clinton (3-3, 3-1 TCC) came out firing on all cylinders, taking a 17-9 lead after the first quarter.  Eric Briggs came off the bench in the first quarter to provide a big spark, scoring 10 of the 17 points in the quarter.   Whiteford settled in and found some rhythm during the second quarter outscoring the Redskins 17-14 to close the gap to five points heading into halftime.  After a back and forth start to the third quarter, the Redskins found some breathing room to close out the quarter leading 45-33.  Timely baskets and key free throw shooting during the fourth quarter ultimately sealed the victory for Clinton.  

Tommy Burt led the team in scoring with 17 points while pulling down 8 rebounds.  Eric Briggs finished with 14 points.  Jacob Huddleston stuffed the stat sheet with an 11 point, 12 rebound double-double.  Davey Campbell chipped in with 7 points to add to his 6 rebounds, 5 steals, and 4 assists.
