The barn burner at Greenville on Friday night had a full house to watch county rivals, Clearwater and Greenville, compete for bragging rights and the paddle trophy in the first “Battle Between the Lakes.”

Coaches Nathan Walk and Zac Moore coordinated the Battle for the Paddle and both teams entertained the crowd with a thrilling finish that saw Clearwater on top by three as Greenville missed a three point buzzer beater.

During the game, Clearwater senior Heath Ayers scored a free throw for his 1000th high school career point. That shot will be celebrated tonight during the Senior Night game at Clearwater against Doniphan.
