CLOVER -- Northwestern had one goal in mind Tuesday against Clover. A win assured the Lady Trojans a spot in the playoffs.

CLOVER -- Northwestern dictated the pace for three quarters Tuesday night. Clover got the game running at a speed more to its liking in the final stanza.

Fort Mill had its rematch with Clover circled on the schedule for three weeks. Friday night, the Yellow Jackets exacted their revenge for an embarrassing loss at Clover on Jan. 9. It took overtime for Fort Mill to get the 61-57 win, but the extra period only made it that much sweeter.

South Pointe outscored the Rock Hill Lady Bearcats 7-2 in the overtime period and stretched their region 4-AAAA record to 4-1, but the 48-43 win did not come easy.

With the bitter taste still in its mouth from a loss to Northwestern less than 24 hours earlier, Clover made amends Saturday with a 66-47 road victory over South Pointe.

Communicate. Communicate. Communicate.

Kelia Shelton who plays basketball for Northwestern is not the same Kelia Shelton off the court. When not striking fear into the hearts of opposing teams, she makes her way through the stands, smiling, talking, hugging and trading high-fives.

Wrestlerama night was Thursday at Northwestern High School and three area teams went after it on the mat.

A car wreck. A broken foot. A discipline situation.

All were major factors in an 11-13 season for the Clover's boys varsity basketball team last year. Coach Dudley Lybrand said the only option his team had was to deal with it.

CLOVER -- Don't think for a minute that Clover's boys' basketball team had forgotten about a seven-point loss at Rock Hill earlier this season.
