Basketball Recap: Clewiston Tigers vs. Dunbar Tigers

Clewiston had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They secured a 33-29 W over the Dunbar Tigers on Monday. For Clewiston, this counts as revenge for the 59-15 victory Dunbar walked away with the last time they faced one another back in November of 2016.

Clewiston's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Kalyn Johnson, who went 7 for 15 en route to 17 points plus three steals. Johnson is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last three games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Tyra Fields, who posted six points in addition to eight rebounds.

Despite the defeat, Dunbar saw an underclassman step up: freshman Addision Fuhr dropped a double-double on ten points and 14 rebounds.
