In a game heard Tuesday night on WHOW, the Clinton Maroons topped the Tremont Turks, 79-51, on Senior Night at Clinton High School.
Clinton jumped out to a 14-0 lead, and pulled away from there thanks to stifling team defense, and a record setting night from Mason Walker. The senior point guard drilled five first quarter three's en route to setting a new Clinton High School record with twelve in the game. He broke the record previously held by teammate Brooks Cluver.
The Maroons led by twenty after the first quarter, and cruised to their 26th victory. Walker led the offense with 36 points, and was named the WHOW / Serv Pro of Piatt/DeWitt County Player of the Game. Keaton Graves added 15, and Dawson Graves had 12 for the Maroons.
Tremont was led by Grant Williams with 12 points. The Turks fall to 18-11 on the year, and next play Thursday at GCMS.
Clinton improves to 26-4 on the season, and wraps up the regular season on the road Thursday night at Argenta-Oreana.
The Maroons then head to the regionals where their first regional game is next Wednesday at 7:30pm at Olympia. Clinton faces the winner of Monday night's Dee Mack/Tri-Valley matchup.
