Clarkston coach Dan Fife picked up his 700 win of his legendary coaching career on Wednesday night as the Wolves beat Orchard Lake St. Marys 58-35 at West Bloomfield.
The Wolves controlled things early and often, not letting up after the Lake Orion game where they only beat the Dragons 62-50 in the district semifinal.
Clarkston lead the Eaglets 17-5 after the first quarter and 38-19 at the half. The Wolves outscored Orchard Lake St. Marys 20-16 in the second half to close the game out. Clarkston used it's balance scoring of Foster Loyer, Taylor Currie, Nick Wells, Chase Waslik, and CJ Robinson. Loyer had 24 points, Robinson added 13 points, Wells had four points and 10 rebounds, Currie added 10 points, and Waslik added seven points.
Clarkston will move onto the State Quarterfinals on Tuesday at Grand Blanc against a familiar foe in Flint Carman Ainsworth. The Wolves beat the Cavaliers 72-67 in an instant classic at Clarkston on December 7th.
The Cavaliers got 17 points from Omari Duncan in their 61-38 win over Traverse City West in the regional final at Mount Pleasant. It was the first regional title for Flint Carman Ainsworth since 2004.
Thoughts.
I was surprised that the Wolves did not sub anyone in the game. Clarkston has 15 players on their team but anyway they won over a solid Orchard Lake St. Marys team with only their regular starters.
Clarkston will get a rematch with Flint Carman Ainsworth, a team that the Wolves beat 72-67 on December 7th. Expect the Cavaliers to come out motivated against Clarkston.
We shall see what happens.
