Girls’ Basketball Team Travels to Clemson The McCants Middle School girls’ basketball team visited Clemson University on January 26. The team and coaches watched as the Clemson Lady Tigers hosted the #9 ranked Louisville Cardinals. The players met the Tigers' mascot and were a big part of the halftime show during intermission. It was a great opportunity for the team to see some of the upgrades to athletic facilities and take in the atmosphere of an NCAA Division 1 and ACC women's basketball game.
