TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe seniors Kendall Clodfelter and Katie Salyer have never been anything but division champions.
Their senior year was no exception — and on Senior Night, the Red Devils made another emphatic statement of their dominance.
Tippecanoe ran its winning streak to 11 games Wednesday night and, having already clinched the outright Miami Valley League Miami Division and overall MVL championships, remained undefeated in division play by holding off Valley Division champion Sidney at home, winning 54-44.
Ashleigh Mader scored 15 points to lead the Red Devils, while Clodfelter and Rachel Wildermuth each added 12 points as the Devils jumped out to a 16-6 lead after the first quarter, built a 24-12 halftime lead and led 39-24 heading into the final eight minutes.
With the win, Tippecanoe improved to 17-4 overall and 17-0 in the MVL Miami, while Sidney fell to 15-6 overall and 12-5 in the MVL Valley. Tippecanoe closes out the regular season Saturday at home against Butler.
