After a 52-44 loss to Flint Powers Catholic on Aug. 31, the Clarkston girls basketball team will be glad to play ball in Oakland County for a little while.
The loss to Powers drops Clarkston to 0-2 on the season and follows a defeat at the hands of Grand Blanc.
‘Against Powers we played pretty darn good ? but we went 2-14 from the field in the third quarter,? said Clarkston Coach Tim Wasilk.
Clarkston held a 23-17 advantage at the half, but the Wolves? cold shooting streak in the third quarter led to a 19-6 run by Powers. The Wolves hung tough in the fourth, but could not overcome the deficit.
Wasilk is happy with the way the team has executed early in the season, especially in regard to looking for touches inside the paint.
‘If we finish our buckets, I think we could be 2-0 right now,? said Wasilk.
Junior Chelsea Kouri led the Wolves with 10 points against Powers.
The game against Powers wrapped up 12-days straight of action featuring either practice or games. Wasilk feels the team will come back recharged from the Labor Day holiday weekend.
‘We have our first league game (on Aug. 8 against Rochester High) and we’ll be ready,? said Wasilk.
