The Lady Dawgs played the second game of the afternoon against Model High School out of Richmond, Kentucky.
Clinton County held on in the end to pick up the victory, 54-49.
In the first boys’ game of the Robbie Davis Memorial Foundation Classic, it was Taylor County taking on Christian County. The Cardinals of Taylor County pulled off the narrow win, 79-73.
In the final game of the classic, Clinton County took on Breathitt County.
