CMS Hawks win two tight games


Next up for Clinton Middle School: AWAY: Horace Maynard Middle School Thursday, Nov. 14
The Clinton Middle School boys basketball team picked up a pair of hard-fought wins last week.

The Hawks had to work overtime to edge West View by the slimmest of margins, winning 52-51 on Thursday night.

Earlier in the week, Clinton defeated Union Grove on the road, notching a 48-45 victory on Monday, Nov. 4.

“We were ahead in both games, then got behind and had to come back,” CMS Coach Bobby Williams said. “I wish we could get out to a big lead and keep it, stay ahead. But we haven’t been able to do that.”

In Thursday’s overtime win against the West View Indians, Logan Hill led the way for the Hawks with 26 points. Abel Forsyth and Benji Yarbrough added eight points each, while Tucker Hamering scored seven.

In the league opener against the Union Grove Wolverines, Yarbrough scored 21 points, Hill added 10, and Kade Webb finished with nine.
