The Clippers finished the quarter with an 11-2 run and a 22-12 lead. In the 2nd quarter, Chester used seven players to match their first quarter production of 22 points while limiting the Bulls to single digits - 8 points - to take a commanding 44-20 lead at the intermission. The Battlin' Bulls were true to their name in the 3rd quarter outscoring the host Clippers 21-18 and reduce the point difference to 19 at the end of the period. Chester - 60, Glen Mills - 41. In the 4th quarter, Hodges put up 8 of his career high 10 points and Hinson finger-rolled 6 of his season high 10 points as the Clippers stretched their lead to plus 20 points to end the contest.

Chester boxscore: Collins (15), Davis (11), Hinson (10), Hodges (10), Sudan (9), Campbell (8), Colbert (7), Francis (4), Carter (3), Jones (1)

With the recent snow storm causing a cancellation of the Hoop Group Event and the inability to reschedule with Allentown Central Catholic, Chester will now travel to and take on Whitehall on Saturday, January 30 for a 4:30 JV tip-off followed by the Varsity at 6:00.

The Penn Wood game at the Clip Joint that was also cancelled due to the storm is rescheduled for Friday, February 5th.
