The Clarkson/Leigh Girls Basketball Team fell 56-37 to Pender in the first round of the State Tournament last Thursday at the Devaney Center in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.

Heck of a year for Clarkson/Leigh.

The Patriots end their amazing season at 20-7.

Hanel was the team’s leading scorer this season at 19 points per game.

Clarkson/Leigh says goodbye to Jessica Hoffman and Wendt.

Lots of key pieces return for the Patriots next year, including Hanel, Izzy Hollatz, Ava Kasik, Brynn and Bailey Settje, Cadence Indra, and Gracelyn Eisenmann.

Clarkson/Leigh figures to have an even better season next year than they did this year.

The Patriots should be a real threat to do some serious damage next year with everyone that returns.

Clarkson/Leigh has to work really hard this offseason and feed off of what should be a real positive buzz going on around the program and schools.

The Patriots have to do big things this offseason in hopes of accomplishing amazing and incredible things next year.

Clarkson/Leigh has to take things to the next level next year and think BIG in 2023-2024.
