It was a historic night for Clarke Indians basketball on Friday in Eldon as Jack Cooley set the all-time record for points in a game by an Indians player. The previous Clarke record of 45 points in a game was set in 2017 by Brandyne Olin, but that is no more after Cooley’s 50 point performance against the Cardinal Comets. The Indians coasted to a 90-35 win by dominating the post. “Our game plan was to attack the rim and be aggressive,” said Cooley said after the game.
