It had to be a nervous bus ride for the St. Edmond girls when they headed to Clear Lake on Friday, Dec. 20.  The 0-6 Gaels faced the 7-0 Lions, who have been putting together a pretty impressive resume of wins. Clear Lake made St. Edmond another victim in a 77-18 romp.

St. Edmond knew they had their work cut out for them right away, as Clear Lake opened the game with a 22-6 first quarter start.

Prior to the holiday break Clear Lake captured a lopsided win against St. Edmond on Friday, Dec. 20. The Lions dominated the Gaels (1-5) in a 62-32 victory.

“It’s always a tough place to play - in the ‘Fishtank” vs. St. Eds.  We came out and got some good looks early and took advantage of our size and athleticism to jump to an early lead in the first quarter,” said Coach Jeremey Ainley.

The Lions outscored the Gaels 20-7 in the first quarter.
