Clear Lake advances to meet IF-A in Regional tonight

  Garner-Hayfield-Ventura gave the fifth rated Clear Lake girls all they could handle for nearly three quarters, but the inevitable run by the Lions helped them earn a 64-38 victory in the Class 3A Region 2 opening round Saturday, Feb. 10.

The final score was not indicative of the close play throughout much of the contest.

The Clear Lake girls ended the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record in the North Central Conference.  The Lions raced past Webster City, 61-19, Tuesday, Feb. 6, in Clear Lake.

Call them the come-back kids.

The Clear Lake Lions extended their win streak to 10 and won Thursday night in a nail biter over Garner-Hayfield-Ventura, 48-47.  Since the Christmas break the Lions (16-4) have won 11 of 12 outings and are playing with confidence with the post-season on the horizon.

Clear Lake will send three wrestlers to the State Meet and Garner-Hayfield-Ventura will be represented by one.

All three Lions advancing were champions at their weight at the Class 2A District 1 meet held Saturday at Parkersburg.  Clear Lake will be represented by Sam Nelson at 106 pounds, Eric Faught at 126, and Kade Hambly at 195.  GHV’s Jared Shaw was runner-up at 152-pounds to advance.
