Down by three entering the fourth quarter of their season opening contest at Grand Blanc, the Clarkston varsity girls basketball team could not overcome their hosts, losing 50-39 on Aug. 29.
‘We were fighting and clawing back the whole fourth quarter,? said first year Clarkston Coach Tim Wasilk.
Senior guard Melissa Martinez led the Wolves with 17 points and went to the free throw line 15 times. Junior guard Chelsea Kouri also helped the offensive effort with 13 points.
‘I saw some good things, but we have a lot to work on,? said Wasilk.
Up next for the Wolves is an away tilt with Flint Powers on Aug. 31. Wasilk feels the winner of the Big Nine conference will either be Grand Blanc or Powers and is glad the Wolves are cutting their eyeteeth on tought competition.
