STRATTANVILLE – The Clarion-Limestone Lions got back on the winning track with a convincing 63-38 victory over visiting Redbank  Valley Friday night.

C-L (6-3 overall, 5-2 KSAC-North) raced out to a 16-3 lead after the first quarter.  Jaye Dulavitch scored eight out of his 14 points in that first quarter. Dulavitch added five rebounds, four assists, four steals and four blocked shots.  

"Our intensity level was there tonight which we have been working on", C-L head coach Joe Ferguson said. "Our full court pressure worked very well tonight."

Redbank (4-7 overall, 3-4 KSAC South) was 13 of 25 from the foul line while C-L was only 1 for 4.

C.J. Hesdon led the way for the Lions with 16 points and 10 steals, while leading the way for the Bulldogs was Giovanni Monteleone with 15 points.  

"Give all the credit to C-L,” Redbank Valley coach Patrick Craig said. “They came full-man pressure and it was very difficult to break that. That was the best pressure defense we have seen all year."

C-L also won the junior varsity game 42-34.  Billy Kelly led C-L with 10 points while Zack Dubia and AJ McCrea each added nine points apiece.

C-L will travel to Union on Monday while Redbank will entertain Brookville the same night.
