Great season Clarendon Lions

[MomaLion]

I'm proud of my kiddos win, lose or draw. We didn't play well and Mineral Springs wanted it more. Good game to all and good luck to the teams still playing. God Bless

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Stupid fouls and missed free throws ended that run.

Mineral springs did what they had to do

Mine's been in and out. They usually have great wifi but they put a passcode on it this year for some reason.

[MomaLion]

It all balances out in the end Pick, you said it...they did what they needed to win and I wish them luck in their coming games.

yep, this is what I like about basketball. You just never know. Congrats to both teams!

[bigworm]

Congrats to Clarendon! Great kids who have worked hard and had a great year. Sucks to have the only slip of the year in the state tourny. But hey, its just a game. Keep your heads up guys. You will have better times than you can imagine as life goes by.

[Lions84]

Great season and a tough ending.

[leedog95]

Clarendon just looked shaky from the start of this game not sure if the delayed games caused this but, they didn't impress me at all maybe they just had a bad game??? Boy it was a bad time to have a bad game. I feel for those young men this will sting for a long time...

[MomaLion]

They had a very bad game, just couldn't get rolling. Who knows...I know how amazing they are so I'm fine with it.

[mr.gametime]

Number 32 from mineral springs was a beast ...he pretty much put there team on his back ....I thought Clarendon might try to attack the basket because he was on the court with 4 fouls...and try to foul him out... He hit to clutch free throws at the end of the game.

I didn't understand why they didn't go at him either. He definitely was their best player.

I had the wifi password but the school server blocks FF because its a "forum" so it's cellular or nothing. I would think they would unblock these type websites during state tourny.

Congrats to the Red Lions on a good season.

When was that, prior to 1983 or so?

Congrats to Clarendon for a great season and ms now becomes a team to watch

2015, people practically gave them a state title before the tournament was even started. That's why I'm struggling to understand how losing in the first round to a 4th seed equals a Great Season, it seems like a let down to me.

[Bigditchlion]

District and regional champs! 1 lose. That sounds like a good season.

[THA TRUTH]

Yea but those weren't the goal for this season

[Pit Bull]

District and regional champs! 1 lose. That sounds like a good season.

I would say okay season at best.

[BoxNOne]

No doubt this was a terrible loss by Clarendon that has taken a lot of the luster off of their season. Still a very good season but not great.

[Bigditchlion]

So y'all are saying anything less than a state championship is an ok season? Wow that's crazy talk!  I hope England wins it but if we don't I still consider it better than an ok season

[redrider30]

Great season. It's over. Like the Cub's always say there's always next year.

[jbtiger73]

I know it's looking ahead. But what will they be like next season with all that talent leaving?

[bigworm]

man, i could be completely wrong but i just don't see how they could lose RO and be anywhere close to the same team. much less losing 4 of the 5 starters. but like i said, i could be wrong.

I'm still trying to figure out how they blew a double digit lead and lost to mineral springs. 😕

[Cheek]

This was a really bad deal for Clarendon and all their fans.  If they played MS ten more times, Clarendon would likely win all ten by double digits.   In watching the Clarendon players, they never had a sense of urgency in their eyes until the last 3.5 seconds.  I thought MS players and Coaching Staff did an excellent job managing the game and keeping it close until the end.   The sad thing is people will remember this Clarendom team, but it will be because they failed to win it all.   

Clarendon lost the house, and I do not see them being much of a factor next year.   I figure the 6AA title will have to go through Brinkley next year.

they missed too many free throws, and mineral springs played hard in the 4th and made most of theirs .

When it wasn't what they truly wanted then yes it was

[Dragon I]

It's perception.  Different schools have different thoughts on success.

Augusta will still be pretty decent, but not near as good as this year's team. Kipp will be okay. they lose quite a bit as well. Clarendon will still be very competitive and very athletic as long as coach Kendrick is there. just wonder will they still play those very tough early season tournaments with their top guns graduating. if I know coach, he' definitely not afraid to play anyone, and will be a good gauge on what the potential for the conference season could be. and as for Brinkley, with everyone returning next season, we might not be as highly regarded going into next season as clarendon was going into this season, which may be a good thing. so that the players might not get the big head going into conf. play. coach already told me that they're planning on playing in some very competitive tournaments next season. which should make them better, seeing, and playing better competition. something we haven't really done since we were a regular top 5 or 10 team in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

Bigditchlion, you know that is only being said because it didnt happen like they thought it would. Every team in the tourney want to be champions. FACT...

[MomaLion]

We're proud of our guys regardless.  They have the talent but more important, they have good sportsmanship and have been given the morals and guidance to succeed in life.  Would we go back and do it over and try to get the win, of course but it's not God's plan for them right now.
As for next year, of course it'll be a hit to lose the seniors however I wouldn't count them out.  We still have a few that have started several games and several that have gotten good play time as well as having moved up a talented group from Jr high.
Regardless, i'll be right there win, lose or draw 

[Bigditchlion]

No doubt isu, everyone wants the hardware. Success isn't solely measured on one game but a body of work. Jmio

[MomaLion]

I agree ^^^

[Butch_Cassidy]

I know those kids from clarendon and Holly they have worked hard to get to the state championship game.  The did have a pretty good year and much respect should be given to these boys, there coach, and the community.  Several factors play into a win and a loss.  I believe that if Clarendon played them another 9 times there record would be 9-1 but we all know that's not going to happen.  Congrats to the Lions on a nearly perfect season 30-1.  so when was the last time a 2aa school cracked the states top 10

+1, this is the first post you have made that was a worthy post. I agree on the 9-1 thing too, they just lost the one time at the wrong time.

[Lions84]

I am proud of the boys and hope they can enjoy the off season.
