Clarkston Falls to Saginaw Heritage in the Quarters.

Written Tuesday March 13th at 8:45 PM

This was not going to be an easy matchup for Clarkston against the third ranked team in the State in Saginaw Heritage.

The Wolves could not handle the balance of the Hawks in a 70-25 blowout at Grand Blanc in the State Quarterfinals. It is the most points allowed and the least points scored that Clarkston has allowed all season.

Clarkston had a great season led by Kayla Luchenbach whom is heading to Oakland next season. Molly Nicholson, Maddie Beck, and Kianna Ayotte will be moving on as well along with others.

Luchenbach and Nicholson had 19 of the team's 25 points on the night.

Saginaw Heritage dominated from the opening tip over Clarkston, controlling tempo and using it's balance to control things. The Wolves really did not stand a chance.

Clarkston finished the season at 20-5 overall, capturing it's first regional since 2005 and getting their revenge on Waterford Kettering. Wolves coach Christine Rogers will have to replace a lot of talent especially Beck, Luchenbach, and Nicholson but there is a future in place in Kaitlyn Kahl, Heaten, and Piper Bosart.

The Wolves will be a different team next season for sure.
