Putnam High
Boys
The Clippers hosted the Saints Jan. 22 and met another ECC foe that they should see twice next year when they rejoin the conference. The Saints, with only two losses, showed why with an intimidating full court press that lead to an early lead. That held the Clippers to only 23 in the first half while the Saints would pour on 47 points. The second half saw the same press and the Clippers would lose the home game 89-48. The Clippers’ Colby Livingston would lead all scorers with 15 points and Sebastian Ramos netted 12.
Jan. 25 the Clippers would bounce back with a road win over Norwich Tech 67-52. The Clippers’ Tyion Harris would drop 26 in the contest where Putnam would lead the whole game. Sebastian Ramos had 11 points and Colby Livingston had 8.
The Clippers are now 6-5 and should pick up the magic # 8 win to gain a seeding in the CIAC Tournament with 9 games left on the schedule.
Girls
The Lady Clippers bounced back this week with two wins — over St. Bernards 51-40 away and a home game win over Norwich Tech 50-23. That brings the Clippers to a 11-3 record on the year.
Against St. Bernards freshman Abby St. Martin would give the Clippers some scoring off the bench netting 10 points in the contest and Molly Mckeon and Ashley Burke both scored 13 points each.
