WATERFORD — Clarkston advanced to the regional finals for the second time in three years and third time in nine seasons Tuesday, topping Utica Ford, 48-30, in a Class A girls basketball regional finals at Waterford Kettering.
After holding a 10-7 lead after the first quarter and a 16-15 advantage at the half, the Wolves erupted like a volcano in the second half.
Clarkston (21-1) went on a 19-10 run in the third quarter for a 35-25 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Wolves closed out with a 13-5 blitz to oust the Falcons.
Delaney Kenney finished a perfect 7-for-7 from the foul line and scored a game-high 20 points to lead Clarkston, which won for the 19th straight game — by far a school record.
