The Clinton Maroons used suffocating defense and fast play to roll Ridgeview 72-53 in day one action from the Monticello Holiday Hoopla at the Sievers Center Tuesday morning.

Three players scored in double-figures led by Dawson Graves' double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds. Keaton Graves and Brooks Cluver finished with 11 points.

The Maroons forced the Mustangs into 21 turnovers - resulting in 32 points. The Maroons scored 46 points in the paint and had 19 points off 12 offensive rebounds.

Clinton shot 52 percent from the floor for the game but just 4-for-20 from beyond the arc. 

Clinton goes to 12-0 overall. They will take on Neoga at 6 pm tonight in the nightcap of a two-game slate in the opening day of the Hoopla.
