In a game heard Tuesday night on WHOW, the Clinton Maroons downed the Leroy Panthers, 73-37, in a nonconference boys basketball game at Clinton High School. 
 

The Maroons jumped out to a 9-0 lead before Leroy got on the board.  Clinton would lead 23-6 after the first quarter, and never look back.  Leroy did put together a small run in the second, but the Maroons defense and outside shooting was too much.  Clinton led by twenty at the half, and were up 28-points after three.  A running clock fourth quarter wrapped up the 36-point victory fairly quickly. 
 

Clinton connected on eight three pointers on the night, and were led by Mason Walker's 22 points.  Dawson Graves had 20, and Brooks Cluver added 15.  Dalton Bell contributed 12 points off the bench, after racking up 18 points in the JV win.  Bell was named the WHOW / Serv Pro of Piatt/DeWitt County Player of the Game. 
 

Leroy was led by Sam Edmundson with 14 points, and Jasper Tarr added 11.  The Panthers fall to 5-6 with the loss, and next play January 2nd at El Paso-Gridley. 
 

The Maroons improve to 11-0 on the season, and next play at the Monticello Holiday Hoopla.  They'll face Ridgeview at 11:30am on December 26th.  Our next Maroons broadcast will be Wednesday, December 27th, at 2p when Clinton faces Monticello at the Hoopla.
