When making plans for a trip, it’s not likely one is going to opt for Battle Creek over the Cayman Islands. Don’t count Clarkston volleyball's Ali Smith in that mix.
Cayla Cogan put down 12 kills and led Clarkston to a 25-17, 25-21, 25-11 win over L’Anse Creuse North, punching the Wolves’ ticket to Battle Creek for a state semifinal on Friday.
The Clarkston Wolves overcame a rough start to defeat the Walled Lake Northern Knights in four sets Thursday night 25-21, 20-25, 25-13 and 25-13 to claim another district title, their second straight and third in the last four years.
