Playing before their first Friday home crowd since opening night, Clarkston looked to take what was a gimmie game. That, as coaches say, is why they play the game in the gym, rendering the paper trail proceeding the game inconsequential. The record had Southfield Lathrup entering Clarkston High School at 0-3, whereas the Wolves (9-2) […]
Winning isn’t everything. Clarkston’s swim team is making waves despite an as yet winless season in dual meet competition.

Aiming for a state championship is a noble goal to start the year, but for Clarkston’s ski program, that is tradition.

Hoping to exorcise its intra-league demons, Clarkston entered its fifth-consecutive OAA contest against Farmington on Saturday winless in league play, their only points coming from ties.
