Back on the winning track, the Clipper varsity girls sunk 11 three-point baskets to roll over host Le Sueur -Henderson 49-22 on Friday.
The Giants took the ball inside to score the game’s first basket, but Ava Hahn (above) plopped in a couple of threes, and after Lacey McCabe put in a two-point jumper, Taylor McCabe and Addi Holden each canned a three, and the Clippers were up 14-7.
The Giants scored the next five points to narrow their deficit to a basket, but Greta Hahn hopped on the three-point bandwagon when she took an in-bounds pass outside the arc and airmailed it in for a basket.
Lacey McCabe followed up with a three, and Ava Hahn sunk to more threes and Greta Hahn one more, and with an Ava Hahn steal and coast-to-coast drive for a layup, the Clippers were in front 32-14 at the half.
