The Lady Cardinals continue to separate themselves from the rest of the pack and are proving to be a team to watch moving forward as they added two more W's to their total with wins over Lexington and Odessa last week.
In their first contest on Wednesday night, the Lady Cardinals jumped on Lexington from the tip and led 21-6 at the end of the first. A 21-4 margin in the second led to a 42-10 lead at half and Clinton would cruise from there.
With many substitutions already taking place early in the second half, the Lady Cardinals surrendered the third, 10-7, and the fourth, 11-8 but still rolled to a 57-31 win.
Mercedez Brown paved the way for Clinton with 17 points while Skyte Wilson and Vyla Brown were also in double figures with 12 and 10, respectively.
CLINTON (57): V. Brown, 11; A. Cardwell, 3; M. Brown, 17; H. Campbell, 2; K. Schaffer, 0; S. Wilson, 12; A. Goucher, 3; A. Potter, 5; B. Wishard, 5.
LEXINGTON (31): A. Hamacher, 2; A. Ellison, 0; Z. Earnest, 11; R. Shaw, 0; M. Triplett, 4; A. Kidd, 0; S. Eads, 2; T. Emmerich, 4; L. Davis, 4; L. Harris, 0; E. Grosso, 0; S. Schumacher, 4.
After one night off, from a game anyway, the Lady Cardinals picked right back up where they left off on Wednesday when they hosted Odessa and powered their way to another MRVC win on Friday night, this time in lopsided fashion, 72-39 over the visiting Lady Bulldogs.
The hot hand of Skyte Wilson got the Lady Cardinals going early when she was responsible for 13 points herself as Clinton took the opening quarter with a 24-9 scoring margin.
WIth the gas firmly pressed, the Lady Cardinals sped to a 27-11 advantage in the second to hold a 51-20 halftime lead.
Clinton won the second half, 21-19 and improved their record to 10-2 with the 72-39 final.
Wilson led the way for the Lady Cards with 22 points. Ava Potter tossed in 17 and Vyla Brown contributed 13 for Clinton.
CLINTON (72): V. Brown, 13; M. Brown, 9; H. Campbell, 0; K. Schaffer, 0; A. Cardwell, 4; S. Wilson, 22; A. Goucher, 0; A. Potter, 17; L. Brauer, 0; B. Wishard, 7.
ODESSA (39): K. Thomas, 3; K. Byrd, 0; G. Harget, 3; R. Adams, 20; A. Guem, 3; B. Wade, 0; M. Lockhart, 0; B. Westerhold, 6; A. Bullock, 0; E. Peterson, 0; B. Burns, 4; K. Smith, 0.
