Clarksville, TN – Scoring 10 of the last 12 points of the night, January 17th at the William Workman Gymnasium, the Northeast Lady Eagles posted their first victory over Clarksville High in six years in a 42-34 final.

The District 10-AAA win by Northeast (6-11, 2-5 District 10-AAA) was just one day short of the six year anniversary of their last win over the Lady Wildcats – a 56-50 final coming on January 18th, 2008.
