The team also got some help courtesy of Campbell Boisseau, who scored four points and ten boards.
Whitehaven is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-8 record this season. Clarksville's defeat ended a 24-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 26-2.
Looking ahead, Whitehaven will challenge Bearden on Thursday. Bearden is on a ten-game streak of home wins, Whitehaven a six-game streak of away wins -- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the court. Clarksville does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
