On Friday night, the River Kings hosted Davenport Assumption in MAC Conference action in Yourd gym. The Freshmen Kings were bitten by the turnover bug, and couldn’t quite overtake the Knights, losing their game 42-53. The Sophomore squad was also in a tight game, ending up on the short end of a 44-49, 5-point loss. The Varsity Kings turned out in force, they came to play! The Kings were tied with Assumption at half-time, and built a 7-point lead in the third quarter. It was the best third quarter of the season for Clinton! Despite a season low 5 turnovers by Clinton, Assumption climbed back into it and won 67-57. Leading scorer for Clinton was Cole Shannon who had 19 points and 7 rebounds. Other top scorers were Mharlo Guy with 18 points and Jordan Coleman with 10 points. The Kings are back in action tomorrow night at home as they host MAC Conference foe Davenport North. The action begins at 4:30pm. Come out and support your River Kings as they wind up their regular season with home games on Tuesday and Thursday this week! GO KINGS!!!
