The boys junior varsity basketball team was back in action on Thursday in their first game after the holiday break.  They traveled to LCAA foe Hudson to begin the new calendar year and came away with a 44-31 victory leading from the opening tip until the final buzzer. 

The Redwolves built a 12-5 lead in the first quarter and would be in total control through most of the second quarter.  However, a quick 5-0 spurt to finish the first half kept the Tigers within reach and only down nine heading to the second half.  Hudson would come out of the second half and not go away easily as they won the third quarter and pulled within 7 points going to the fourth.  Clinton would respond the challenge in the fourth quarter and make a push to open the lead back up to double digits.

"You have to give Hudson credit for hanging around," Coach Dutton said following the game. "When it looked like we were about to run away with the game, they responded to keep within reach.  We have to continue working on closing teams out."

Andy Fair led the Redwolves with 19 points on the night.  Chase Gillman and Calen Keith added 6 points apiece, while Preston Cruz and Jalen Stelzer finished with 5 points apiece.  Preston Cruz also added 5 assists and 5 steals.  Carson Pixley led the team with 8 rebounds to go with his 1 point.  Ian Williams chipped in with 2 points as well.  

The Redwolves, now 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the LCAA, will head to Lourdes University on Saturday, January 8th for 12:00PM tip against Whiteford.
