LEES CREEK — In a physical, high-scoring game, East Clinton was unable to keep up with Goshen Monday night and fell 80-65.

Peyton Shafer of Goshen led all scorers with 24 points. She had 10 points in the final quarter. Katrina Hooper added 16 for the Warriors, 10 of those coming in the second period.
