Alyssa Wiant scored 10 points while Lexi Coull and KK Sebastian-Sims each added nine points.
Alex Leadbetter chipped in with six points while grabbing 11 rebounds.
“We ran the floor pretty well tonight and that’s something I was rather pleased with,” said C-L head coach Gus Simpson. “We’re still a little Jekyll and Hyde at times as we’re still trying to find out who we are. We saw glimpses in the second half against Karns City, but tonight things clicked a little more, so hopefully it’s something we can build off of.”
The game was scheduled to start at 6:30 for a varsity only contest, but due to no referees at the start time, the game didn’t get started until 7:15, which could have attributed to each team getting off to a very slow start offensively with the two teams combining for 15 first quarter points and C-L leading 9-6 after one quarter.
Each team scored 10 points in the second quarter which sent the Lions (2-5) to the halftime locker room with a 19-16 lead.
Cadence Brechtel scored the first two points of the second half for Johnsonburg to cut the lead to 19-18. However, Clarion-Limestone answered with a 13-0 run to open up a 32-18 lead before Ella Lindberg scored the only other third quarter basket for Johnsonburg to make the score 32-20.
Sebastian-Sims converted one of two free throws with three seconds remaining in the quarter for a 33-20 C-L lead after three.
Johnsonburg cut the lead to eight at 33-25 early in the fourth quarter.
Jenna Dunn took over from there, scoring 14 of her total points in the final quarter including the final 10 C-L points of the game.
”
A lot of Jenna’s points were the result of her running the floor,” said Simpson. “She was running the floor well and getting a lot of those transition buckets.”
Cadence Brechtel led Johnsonburg with 12 points while Ella Lindberg added seven. Lindberg also pulled down 12 rebounds.
C-L will host Cranberry tomorrow for another varsity only 6:30 start time.
