With 2:12 remaining in the half, Head Coach Todd Messer had already played nine players and picked up a 30 point lead, 40-10.

Clinton County continued to dominate on the offensive side putting up 26 points in the period alone for a halftime lead, 49-16.

During the third quarter, Clinton County didn’t let up and continued to play with precision, picking up a 47 point lead with 1:40 on the clock, 71-24.
