CAL, Clarksville trade punches as Cadets pull out Iowa Star victory

CLARKSVILLE – In the battle of attrition, CAL won the war.

After 54 whistles for fouls were tallied up in the Iowa Star boys basketball contest between the Cadets and Clarksville Indians, CAL celebrated a 62-57 victory on the road on Tuesday, Dec. 10.

And a win that Cadet coach Bradley Waddle really wanted, he got.

“This is one that I really wanted because we came in here last year and were up 14 at half and ended up losing that game,” Waddle said. “It was almost the same scenario, so I wanted it real bad and the kids fought real hard and never gave up.

“We did a great job down the stretch – kept fighting for it…The game plan was to keep what we were doing down the stretch and the kids did a nice job.”
