Despite having a full schedule of games for last week, the Clinton County Lady Dawgs only hit the hardwood one time and that was a road game at McCreary Central on Tuesday night.

Other games included a double header against Russell County that was postponed due to COVID-19 within Russell County’s players, and looking forward, a game against Cumberland County on Tuesday night of this week (too late for press deadline.)
