Caldwell County’s girls could not have gotten off to a much better start on Thursday.
Tink Clark buried three 3-pointers out of the gate as the Lady Tigers bolted to a 9-2 lead against Logan County in the 10th annual West Kentucky Hoops Classic at the CAB gym in Princeton.
But the Lady Cougars scored the final nine points of the first period to go up 11-9 and eventually built a 28-15 lead at halftime.
The Russellville school went on to post a 65-37 over Caldwell’s girls in the holiday event.

The Lady Cougars (6-2) also got 15 Brenley Adler. Reese Welton scored eight points.

But the Lady Tigers (1-6) were outscored 26-6 over the final 12:01 of the first half after racing out to the early lead.
Logan shot 53.1 percent from the field (26 of 49) while Caldwell hit at just a 28.6 percent clip (12 of 42).

Things are not going well with the program at Caldwell. The program is at an all time low? When will they make changes as the girls are not having any fun!
