Progress was measured by the scores of six years of data from the Washington Assessment of Student Learning, or the WASL.[4] Clarkston also won the Golden Throne girls' basketball game and spirit competition, but were outplayed by the Bengals during the boys' game where seniors Ben Havens, Greg Pederson, and James Baerlocher lead their team to a win over the Clarkston Bantams.
