Hello Clinton Community School District Families,

The weather this week was a little challenging, but the wrestling team had a fantastic showing this past weekend as they left as regional champs. They had 9 individual sectional qualifiers. What a tremendous effort by our wrestling team. They will move onto the sectional qualifier on Tuesday.

The girls basketball team also ended the week with a victory over Parkview Saturday evening 48-46. After a tough loss to Turner on Friday evening. The Boys basketball team came away with a victory Thursday evening at home against Big Foot.

Lastly, the middle school girls basketball teams finished their seasons this past week, and middle school wrestling is winding down for the year.
