The Lady Broncos pulled out a huge win over Stratford in the bi-district game last Thursday night that kept the fans on the edge of their seats and the point spread never more than single digits.
The Clarendon girls were able to outlast the Lady Elks in a game that went to the wire with the maroon and white getting the 44-43 win and Bi-District gold ball.
The teams ended the first quarter of play at 8-8 as it was setting up to be a defensive scenario for both sides. However, Stratford’s shooting fouls in the opening quarter allowed the Lady Broncos an undeniable edge in the game as they went six for six from the bonus line.
Clarendon kept their consistency going at the bonus line and junior Madi Smith hit two crucial three-pointers, and Makenna Shadle connected on another to give the Lady Broncos the five-point edge going into the half.
Despite a good third quarter for Stratford, the Lady Broncos maintained their offensive execution with Shadle adding two well-timed three pointers in the second half to give them the edge they needed.
The ladies took advantage of good free throw shooting, which helped with the win. Senior Jade Benson hit four out of five, Smith made four for six. Ashlyn Crawford hit two for three, and Finley Cunningham made one of two for 69 percent as a team.
Smith led the way on the scoreboard with 14 total points, and Benson added 12. Shadle put in three three-pointers for nine, Crawford had six, and Cunningham three.
