Eaglets leave Wolves with goose egg

Power-play? refers to an advantage one team has over the other because of skaters in the penalty box. What Orchard Lake St. Mary’s did to Clarkston on Saturday was almost a 33-minute power-play. The no. 5 state ranked Eaglets 8-0 handling of the Wolves only involved two power-play goals for the victors, who seemed to […]

Disappointing finish

In its second league game of the week, Clarkston was hoping to race another game ahead in the Oakland Activities Association. Instead, Rochester Adams put Senior Night to use with their fast-paced offense, dropping the Wolves 3-1 at Rochester on Feb. 1. Two seniors, Chelsea Rutledge, an outside hitter for the Highlanders, and Lauren Wisniewski, […]

Going Home

Ahh the Super Bowl, a day I thought was actually an observed holiday as a child. A time for friends, family and pigskin.

For whatever reason, the National Football League brought back the extra week between the conference championship games […]

Wolves take all comers

Clarkston continued its intra-conference dominance on Friday, taking its second consecutive Oakland Activities Association tournament, beating rival, host, and runner-up Lake Orion by nearly 100 points.

Next round

Some say it’s hard to duplicate an original. That was the case when Clarkston met Pontiac Central on Friday. The Wolves squeaked a two-point win at Pontiac in early January and the Chiefs were looking to take it back on the Wolves? floor. But Central would have a tough time of it minus a key […]
