West Plains clinches playoff berth

Wellington upends Clarendon

Wellington played maybe its best basketball of the season to date stunning two-time defending Class 2A state champion, Clarendon, 57-43, on Tuesday night at home.

It’s the Broncos first district loss since 2020, snapping a streak of 30 plus games. It’s also the first district loss for Broncos head coach Boston Hudson. Hudson, in his third season at the helm, had a 27-0 district mark before this loss.

The Skyrockets were led by Brendan Garcia’s 12 points, as Carson Tarver added 11. Wellington (19-4) and Clarendon (14-10) are tied atop the District 2-2A standings at 7-1.
