Clay led at the half 22-18, and they opened up the third quarter by going on a 10-0 run, but Corbin would trim the lead all the way down to two late in the fourth quarter. The Tigers were good from the free throw line down the stretch, however, and they held on to earn a spot in the state championship tournament.
