HUNTINGDON — After going scoreless in the third quarter, the Clearfield Area High School girls basketball team erupted for 24 points in the final eight minutes to defeat Huntingdon 41-28 Friday night.
The Lady Bison trailed 18-17 after a see-saw first half but were down only five points despite being unable to make a basket in the third period of the Mountain League game.
“The big thing was we held them to four points,” Clearfield coach Joey Castagnolo said. “Our defense kept them from running away.
“Then, the fourth quarter was amazing. We shot 9-for-14 from the field.”
A basket by Emily Ryan and a three-pointer by Margo Castagnolo got the Lady Bison even, and they continued the run to build a double-digit lead.
Rachel Glenny fueled the big finish with eight points, while Castagnolo had five and Ryan four.
Glenny wound up with 12 points in the Lady Bison’s first win after two losses.
“That was a big road win for us,” coach Castagnolo said. “Hopefully, that’s going to be our springboard.”
Logan Felton and Maddie Gearhart scored 12 and 11 points, respectively, for the Lady Bearcats.
Clearfield, 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the league, will visit DuBois on Monday.
Huntingdon’s jayvees won the prelim 39-31. Alayna Ryan was high for Clearfield with eight points.
