MADISON -- Jakobe Cavett scored 11 points, Logan Garner chipped in 10 points, but it was not enough as the Clinton High School Men's Basketball team dropped a tightly-contested match-up to the Madison Central Jaguars, 49-42, in a Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) District 2-7A game on Tuesday night on the campus of Madison Central High School.
