Clear Creek Middle School basketball notched six more league wins over eight games.
Lady Cats
The Cats hosted Union County last Monday. The seventh graders’ strong third quarter allowed them to put the Panthers in a situation they were unable to recover from as the Cats won, 29-23. The eighth-grade Cats could never get their offense going and UCMS led from wire to wire for a 55-20 win.
CCMS was at Fannin County three days later. The younger Cats’ saw their 14-point halftime lead fade over the final two quarters in a 29-28 loss. Neither eighth-grade squad did much in the opening quarter, and CCMS outscored FCMS 11-2 in the second. Braley Stewart scored all CCMS points in the fourth to preserve the 33-26 win.
