Quite a charge

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) […]

Still making waves

Winning isn’t everything. Clarkston’s swim team is making waves despite an as yet winless season in dual meet competition. The Wolves fell to Royal Oak 94-92 at Clarkston on Jan. 19 to go 0-4 for the season, but Greg Dedow qualified for the Oakland County meet on Feb. 3 and Bobby Nelson set a pool […]

It feels good to be home

Playing in front of a home crowd for the first time in more than a month, Clarkston was able to take a league match from Farmington Hills Harrison on Jan. 25. After shaking off the rust from having not played in nearly two weeks, which resulted in a game one loss, the Wolves (13-10-2) rallied […]

Off-season golfers benefit from early winter warmth

It hardly seems like the time of year to be talking about how much money golf courses are taking in, but this winter’s warm weather fueled a bit of overtime for area golf courses. Open on a weather-contingent basis, area courses were breaking previous marks for the off-season prior to the return of the cold […]

Wolves take three of four in week-long series

On paper, Friday’s game pitting Clarkston on the road against North Farmington should have been a bit closer than the 52-35 Wolves? victory would indicate. The Raiders entered with a similar record as Clarkston’s, but winless in the league. The Wolves (8-2, 2-1 OAA) on the other hand, split Oakland Activities Association games 1-1, beating […]

Athletes of the week

The Clarkston High School junior varsity volleyball team is on a roll, having won two tournaments on back-to-back weekends. First, the team took first place in the Davison Deep Freeze tournament at Davison High School on Jan. 13. The girls went undefeated, 5-0, to earn the trophy. This past Saturday at the annual Grand Blanc […]

Back to the slopes…finally

Aiming for a state championship is a noble goal to start the year, but for Clarkston’s ski program, that is tradition. As the season gets underway, weeks behind schedule due to unfavorable weather conditions, the Wolves bring two teams to the hill, both top-five finishers in the state last year, with state title well within […]

Wolves take first league victory

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. Clarkston’s 3-1 victory over the Falcons (6-7-1, 4-5 OAA) earned the Wolves (3-8-3, 1-5-2 OAA) two more points, vaulting them ahead of Royal Oak. Clarkston jumped out to a […]

Clarkston loses one-goal lead in the end

Looking for it’s first win of the OAA season, Clarkston ventured to Farmington Hills to take on the Farmington Unified Flyers on Jan. 17. Things did not work out as planned for the Wolves (2-8-3,0-5-2 OAA), who held a 3-2 advantage for 28 minutes of play, before the Flyers (8-5-1, 3-3 OAA) made a fatal […]

Wolves impressive in Ohio

The Clarkston wrestling squad continued their successful season at the Hammer and Anvil tournament on Saturday at Western Brown High School in Mt. Orab, Ohio. Clarkson had five first-place finishers in the individual tournament. Mike Maguire and Alex Popp, wrestling down a weight class, won the 119-pound and 125-pound weight classes respectively. Newcomer Frank Sade […]
