Chester High Girls Basketball Comes Up Short in the George Snear Holiday Tournament
The Lady Clippers played with heart and grit during this Winter Recess but came up short in the George Snear Holiday Tournament. They played Radnor in the Tipoff game and played as a team and displayed that no quit attitude up until the final buzzer. Radnor is always a Central League Power and were to much for the Clippers with a final result- Radnor 50 Chester 34. Chester had no time to rest as they played Norristown the next night and led part of the game but eventually were defeated by a score of 60-53.
Chester Lady Clippers open the New Year against Renaissance Academy on the road on January 2 at 5:30 where they hope to get on track before League play begins.

In a tightly played second quarter, Chester managed to maintain their lead pushing it to an 8-point separation, 31-23, with just over a minute left. The third quarter was another tightly fought affair, the Clippers outscored their opponents 15-13 closing the quarter ahead 46-42.
