The Clinton Red Devils are taking a road trip to take on the Belton-Honea Path Bears at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Clinton is leaving town to face Belton-Honea Path after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Red Devils fell 51-40 to Chapman on Monday. Surprisingly, this marked the Red Devils' fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
Despite their loss, Clinton saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Nyterian Smith, who went 6-for-14 to rack up 14 points, was perhaps the best of all. The team also got some help courtesy of Zekhyron Butler, who posted nine points.
Meanwhile, Belton-Honea Path had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were outmatched by Westside and fell 89-54. The Bears have struggled against the Rams recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive lost matchup.
Clinton was able to grind out a solid victory over Belton-Honea Path in their previous matchup back in January of 2022, winning 57-44. Will the Red Devils repeat their success, or do the Bears have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
