KANE 56, CLARION 54

CLARION, Pa. — Kane held off two late chances by Clarion to pick up a 56-54 non-conference road win.

Following a timeout, Nick Frederick missed a shot on the block with about three seconds left allowing Kane to escape with the win.

The Wolves started slow and trailed 18-10 late in the first quarter before using an 18-0 run to take a 30-25 halftime lead.

Clarion fought back and cut the deficit to three, 40-37, going to the fourth quarter.

Zuke Smith led Kane with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Chad Greville added 13 points and Mason Zuzck had 11 points, including hitting three 3-pointers. One of those threes was a key triple in the fourth quarter.

Cal German exploded for a game-high 31 points for Clarion while making 13 shots — one 3-pointer, and going 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. Frederick added 12 points for the Bobcats.
