DEVILS UPSET BID FALLS SHORT
The Lower Columbia men's basketball team gave top ranked Clark all they could handle. But the Penguins staved off the Devils 75-55 Wednesday January 8th.
LCC had a four point lead at halftime 34-30, but Clark took advantage of some defensive lapses to outscore the Devils 45-31 in the second half.

The loss drops the Devils to 0-3 in league, but there is still optimism according to head coach
