For the second straight year Clarendon College had four members of the women's basketball team selected as WJCAC All-Conference players.

Aileen Marquez, Mariam Traore and Zariah Sango earned this accolade in back-to-back seasons as all three received All-Conference recognition in the 2020-2021 season as well.

Mah Minthe was not only selected to the WJCAC All-Conference Team but also to the NJCAA All-Region V Team. Mah was also named WJCAC Newcomer of the Year. 

Clarendon College Women's Basketball's season came to a close Saturday after falling 64-54 to South Plains College in the NJCAA Region V Tournament Championship Game. The Bulldogs finish their tremendous season at 24-9.

"This one will obviously hurt for a while" explained Head Coach Mark James. "South Plains played better than we did. They are very well coached and they executed when they needed to. I wish them luck in the National Tournament. We truly believed we'd be there. Our kids have worked so hard and I've enjoyed this entire season with them. We didn't have just a great tournament run, we had a great season. And I'm crushed right now for them all and I'm upset I'll never get to coach some of these young ladies again".

Coach James went on to say "we'll be able to look back at some point and put into perspective what we accomplished this season, but that day won't be today".

Clarendon will have to wait for the conclusion of the NTJCAC regular season to know who their quarterfinal opponent will be, but the game will be played at 1pm on Wednesday, March 2nd at the Frenship Tiger Pit in Wolfforth, TX. 

"We ultimately don't care who we play" says Head Coach Mark James. "I don't say that in an arrogant way but in more of a confident manner. We will either play Hill College or Grayson College and both teams are really, really good so that makes for another reason it just doesn't matter who we play. Regardless it will be a big challenge, but one I think we're up for". James added "When you come through the WJCAC you are definitely battled tested so we'll be ready for whoever we play".
