A near capacity crowd at Paul Taylor watched the titans of 28-5A basketball slug it out for district dominance Friday as Clark and Stevens took to the hardwood.  Despite a game high 31 pts. from Elhad Emerllahu, the Cougars fell to the Falcons 73-80.  That makes the district race even, each team having a loss.  The Clark Cougars next face Marshall.
