The Clinton County Bulldogs moved to 10-5 on the year Friday night with a win over Metcalfe County, 67-25.

From the opening tip, Metcalfe County wasn’t really in the game as Clinton County opened up with a 16-5 first quarter lead.

The Bulldogs continued to own the game in the second quarter, holding Metcalfe County to nine points while putting up 25 for a 41-14 halftime lead.

During the third quarter, Clinton County’s defense proved to be the winning factor, holding the Hornets scoreless during the eight minutes, 54-14.

Head Coach Todd Messer had the chance to play some of his bench during Friday night’s game, with every player getting playing time except Frank England who was out due to an ankle injury.

The Bulldogs rolled in the final quarter, holding Metcalfe County to only one field goal and nine free throws made by the Hornets.

Clinton County was able to invoke the 35-point mercy rule that kept the clock running throughout much of the second half.

The Bulldogs finished the game with a 67-25 win.

Dalton 18

Davis 8

Cook 7
