GLOBE COURTREPORT
The Greyhounds (7-1) added to the season’s great start with the 64-53 victory over the MICDS Rams (3-3)on Dec. 15.
The Hounds were led by senior combo guard Christian Thomas with 19 points and senior guard Ahmad Smith with 12.
The game carried significance for being the team’s first home game and because MICDS cut Clayton’s state hopes short last year in the district title game.
“Last year’s loss was tough, so it was great to come back and beat them this year,†junior point guard Charlie Harned said.
The Hounds led 38-23 at half, but MICDS was able to keep the game close and cut it the Clayton lead to six in the fourth quarter.
Clayton, ranked fifth among area small schools, is set for a showdown with second-ranked Whitfield (3-1) this Friday at 7 p.m. in Stuber Gymnasium.
