Clarksville High School WildcatsClarksville, TN – Clarksville High School’s girls basketball team got into an early hole, November 12th in its Hall of Fame Game versus Beech High School at William Workman Gymnasium and never recovered, as the Lady Bucs hit five first-quarter, three-point field goals to its way to a 57-40 victory over the Lady Wildcats.

Falon Baker would hit four – all in a row — of the five first-quarter 3’s, as she led the way to the Lady Bucs (1-0) a 14-2 run over the final 3:25 of the opening quarter to break open a 8-7 advantage out to a 22-9 lead after the first eight minutes of play.

Beech would close out the first half by outscoring Clarksville High 14-6 over the final 6:19, including Barker’s fifth three of the first half at the 4:27 mark of the quarter.

In the second half, both teams would struggle to put points on the board in the third quarter, as the two teams combined for nine total points in the period.

Deaver would lead Clarksville High with 13 points.

In the final quarter, Clarksville High would get to as close as 13 points, 41-28, on a three-point play by Bearden with 6:18 left, but Beech put any hopes of a comeback to rest with a 8-0 run midway through the quarter to go back up 21 points, 49-28, with 4:12 left.
