The Clinton County Bulldogs made up a game this week against Cumberland County that was originally scheduled for January 11.

After it was all said and done, the game had been rescheduled several times due to weather conditions, but finally the game was moved to Saturday night and was a win for the Bulldogs, 75-35.

At the beginning of the game, Clinton County seemed to struggle a little, but nothing to cause any alarm to the fans watching.

Cumberland County led early in the game 5-2. The Bulldogs got to within one point on two free throws by Colby Langford, but a basket by Cumberland County extended the Panthers’ lead to three points, 7-4.

Wayne Stearns hit a three pointer to tie the score, but Cumberland County hit a basket with six minutes on the clock to regain the lead, 9-7.

At the 5:44 mark, Wendell Maupin hit two free throws to tie the score at nine, and start a 7-0 run to lead 14-9.
