Clarke, McCandless spur Challengers CHILOQUIN -- In a game that was close all the way, Casacade Christian leaned on its two standout post players to earn a 63-55 Southern Cascade League victory over Chiloquin on Friday night.   Junior Kelly Clarke scored a game-high 24 points and senior Christine McCandless added 19 as the Challengers pulled away in the final three minutes for the win.   "We went to our spread offense in the final few minutes and that worked out well," Cascade Christian coach Loren King said. "We were able to run some time off the clock, get a layup or two and shoot some free throws."   Clarke was 4 of 6 at the line in the fourth period and also scored once in the delay game after taking a pass from Heidi Flood.   The host Panthers led 14-12 after one period, but Cascade Christian went on a 19-10 run in the second quarter to take a 31-24 halftime lead.   The win lifted the Challengers to 1-1 in the SCL and 11-6 overall.
