Basketball Recap: Grenada Starts Season with Loss on the Road

Clarksdale got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Jordan Howard out in front who shot 56% from the field to rack up 15 points and six steals. Those 15 points gave Howard a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jeremy Jurden, who went 5-for-11 on his way to 11 points along with seven rebounds and four blocks.
