Vandals hit Prospect Park

by Leave a Comment

Sections of rock wall terraces in Clarendon’s Prospect Park were in ruins last week after vandals left their park on the landmark. City Administrator David Dockery said the city is still looking for information about who might have done the damage to the structures, which were built of native stone in the 1930s as a Civilian Conservation Corps project.

The Lady Bronco basketball team’s season may have ended last week with a 42-52 loss to Panhandle in the Area round of the playoffs, but despite the heartbreaking early exit from post-season play, the ladies played hard all season long.

The Lady Broncos knew they were in for a battle going up against the number five state ranked Pantherettes who carried a 19-1 record this season. They were very much in the mix early on and only trailed by four points after the first eight minutes. They fell off somewhat before the break, but regained some momentum to come within five points late in the game. They struggled with getting the breaks they needed to put a strong pressure on the Pantherettes and could not catch up.

The ladies ended the season with an outstanding 26 wins and seven losses and were second in District 2-2A. A team who pulled together early as a group, the Lady Broncos played with heart and determination with a solid goal in mind. The team has been led by seniors Finley Cunningham, Makenna Shadle, and newcomer for the season, Baylee Gabel under the coaching of Korey Conkin and Kasey Bell.

Stepping up in a big way were those returning from last year’s varsity team. Courtlyn Conkin and Hayden Elam were standouts along with the seniors and were joined by Tandie and Kennadie Cummins, Graci Smith. Freshmen Kenidee Hayes and Berkley Moore were impressive and added a lot of game to the Lady Bronco team. Next season looks very promising as they will gain several good athletes from the junior varsity team.

Despite the close 39-46 loss to Wellington in their last regular season game, the Lady Broncos are fired up for their playoff run.

The Lady Broncos led at the break, but the Lady Rockets turned up the heat in the final two quarters of play to take the lead and hold on for the win.

Senior Finley Cunningham hit three three-pointers in the game for nine points and Hayden Elam was perfect at the free throw line and finished with four as well. Makenna Shadle helped with eight points and Kenidee Hayes had five. Baylee Gabel put in four and Courtlyn Conkin and Berkley Moore added two points each.
