ADAMS TOWNSHIP — The Clinton-Massie girls basketball team defeated New Richmond 42-36 Thursday in SBAAC American Division play in the middle school gym.

The win puts Massie at 2-3 in the division and 6-8 overall.

New Richmond drops to 5-10 overall, 1-4 in American play.

“Very good team win,” CM coach Hilma Crawford said, noting it was youth basketball night and a good crowd was on hand.

The win ends a two game losing streak for the Falcons.

Massie led after one 9-6 but trouble was brewing. Maddie Phipps picked up three fouls and sat out the entire second quarter. The Falcons led 19-15 at halftime and 31-22 after three.

Hannah Bowman was injured and missed much of the fourth quarter. Plus, Ashley Doyle did not play and Emma Redman and Sydney Doyle gave the team quality minutes in a tight game, Crawford said.

McKenna Branham helped close out the win with five points in the fourth quarter, including three free throws. She led the team with 12 points.

“We kinda had to adjust on the fly but the girls responded well and hung on for the win,” the CM coach said.
