Senior Skyte Wilson is finishing out her high school basketball career in fabulous fashion. She scored 39 points, 21 in the third quarter alone, in a 63-55 Clinton victory over Warrensburg last Tuesday night and in front of a large Senior NIght crowd.
Clinton's recently crowned all-time leading girl's scorer was held to just two points in the first quarter. Clinton trailed 18-14 after one and 30-27 at the half. Wilson scored 8 more in the second quarter but owned the third frame with 21 points to help Clinton take a 50-40 lead.
Wilson was 7 for 7 from the line and Vyla Brown was 2 for 2 for a perfect 9 for 9 team effort on the night.
